The application sought NRC's consent to the indirect transfer of
control of the NRC licenses for NRG South Texas' 44 percent ownership
interest in STP, Units 1 and 2, and to the extent required, the Exelon
Generation Company facilities' licenses as described in Exelon's
January 29, 2009, application and supplemental letter dated March 18,
2009. As described in the application, the indirect transfer of STP
would have occurred in connection with Exelon's plan to acquire control
of NRG South Texas' parent, NRG Energy, Inc. (NRG), through a tender
offer. A Notice of Hearing has not been issued subject to the
application. This action relates to application for indirect transfer
of control of licenses of STP, Units 1 and 2. The action related to
Exelon's application for indirect transfer of Exelon Generation
Company's units listed above is addressed in a separate action.
The Commission had previously issued Notice of Consideration of
Approval of Application regarding proposed merger of NRG Energy, Inc.
and Exelon Corporation published in the Federal Register on July 9,
2009 (74 FR 32967). However, by letter dated July 30, 2009, the
applicant withdrew its application.
For further details with respect to this action, see the
application dated January 29, 2009, as supplemented by letter dated
March 18, 2009, the licensee's letter dated July 30, 2009, which
withdrew the application, and the Commission's separate action for
Exelon Generation Company's units, which is being published in the
Federal Register in parallel with this action.
