application, as supplemented by letter dated March 18, 2009, for the 
proposed indirect transfer of the Facility Operating Licenses for the 
following reactor units:

    Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License 
Nos. NPF-72 and NPF-77;
    Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License Nos. 
NPF-37 and NPF-66;
