II. Introduction
The NRC is considering the issuance of an order under 10 CFR 50.80
and 72.50 approving the indirect transfer of control of Renewed
Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-72 and NPF-77 for Braidwood Station
(Braidwood), Units 1 and 2, respectively; Renewed Facility Operating
License Nos. NPF-37 and NPF-66 for Byron Station (Byron), Unit Nos. 1
and 2, respectively; Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-53 and
DPR-69 for Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (Calvert Cliffs), Units 1
and 2, respectively; Facility Operating License No. NPF-62 for Clinton
Power Station (Clinton), Unit No. 1; Facility Operating License No.
DPR-2 and
[[Page 23438]]
Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-19 and DPR-25 for Dresden
Nuclear Power Station (Dresden), Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively;
Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-59 for James A. FitzPatrick
Nuclear Power Plant (FitzPatrick); Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. NPF-11 and NPF-18 for LaSalle County Station (LaSalle), Units 1
and 2, respectively; Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-39 and
NPF-85 for Limerick Generating Station (Limerick), Units 1 and 2,
respectively; Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-63 and NPF-69
for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMP), Units 1 and 2, respectively;
Facility Operating License No. DPR-12 and Subsequent Renewed Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power
Station (Peach Bottom), Units 1, 2, and 3, respectively; Renewed
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Quad Cities
Nuclear Power Station (Quad Cities), Units 1 and 2, respectively;
Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-18 for R. E. Ginna Nuclear
Power Plant (Ginna); Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-70 and
DPR-75 for Salem Nuclear Generating Station (Salem), Unit Nos. 1 and 2,
respectively; Renewed Facility License No. DPR-50 for Three Mile Island
Nuclear Station (TMI), Unit 1; Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-39
and DPR-48 for Zion Nuclear Power Station (Zion), Units 1 and 2,
respectively; Renewed Materials License No. SNM-2505 for the
independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at Calvert Cliffs;
and the general licenses for the ISFSIs at the other sites
(collectively, the licenses). These reactor units and associated ISFSIs
are collectively referred to as the facilities. The NRC is also
considering amending the licenses for administrative purposes to
reflect the proposed transfer.
The application dated February 25, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML21057A273), as supplemented by letter dated March 25, 2021 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML21084A165), requests that the NRC consent to the
indirect transfer of control of the licenses to support a proposed
transaction in which Exelon Corporation will transfer its 100 percent
ownership of EGC to a newly-created subsidiary that will then be spun
off to Exelon Corporation shareholders, becoming EGC's new ultimate
parent company. Once the spin transaction is completed, the new
ultimate parent company, EGC, and its subsidiaries will no longer be
affiliated with Exelon Corporation. EGC will remain the same
Pennsylvania limited liability company as before the proposed
transaction and will continue to own and/or operate the facilities, as
applicable, and hold the licenses, but it will be renamed and
reorganized. The name of the new ultimate parent company and the
renamed EGC are yet to be determined; therefore, the application refers
to these companies as HoldCo and SpinCo, respectively. The application
also requests that the NRC consent to the indirect transfer of control
of the licenses for the FitzPatrick, NMP, and Ginna facilities (i.e.,
the reactor units and associated ISFSIs) to support the reorganization
of EGC.
According to the application, EGC (operating under a new name)
would continue to operate Braidwood, Units 1 and 2; Byron, Unit Nos. 1
and 2; Calvert Cliffs, Units 1 and 2; Clinton, Unit No. 1; Dresden,
Units 1, 2, and 3; FitzPatrick; LaSalle, Units 1 and 2; Limerick, Units
1 and 2; NMP, Units 1 and 2; Peach Bottom, Units 1, 2, and 3; Quad
Cities, Units 1 and 2; Ginna; TMI, Unit 1; and the associated ISFSIs.
Although operation of the Dresden, Unit 1; Peach Bottom, Unit 1; and
TMI, Unit 1, reactors is no longer authorized, EGC (operating under a
new name) would continue to perform certain activities (e.g.,
decommissioning) at these facilities, as authorized by NRC regulations
and the licenses for these facilities.
According to the application, EGC (operating under a new name)
would continue to be the full or partial direct owner of Braidwood,
Units 1 and 2; Byron, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Clinton, Unit No. 1; Dresden,
Units 1, 2, and 3; LaSalle, Units 1 and 2; Limerick, Units 1 and 2;
Peach Bottom, Units 1, 2, and 3; Quad Cities, Units 1 and 2; Salem,
Unit Nos. 1 and 2; TMI, Unit 1; and their ISFSIs.
The February 25, 2021, application, as supplemented, describes
additional proposed changes, including the reorganization of EGC, that
would affect the ownership and operation of the FitzPatrick, Calvert
Cliffs, NMP, and Ginna facilities (i.e., the reactor units and
associated ISFSIs). Currently, the FitzPatrick facilities are directly
owned by Exelon FitzPatrick, LLC, which is a fully owned subsidiary of
EGC. The Calvert Cliffs, NMP, and Ginna facilities are directly owned,
in full or in part, by Calvert LLC, NMP LLC, and Ginna LLC,
respectively, which are indirectly owned by EGC. According to the
application, Exelon FitzPatrick, LLC (operating under a new name),
Calvert LLC, NMP LLC, and Ginna LLC, would continue to own and hold the
licenses for the FitzPatrick, Calvert Cliffs, NMP, and Ginna
facilities, respectively.
The application, as supplemented, requests that the NRC consent to
the indirect transfer of Exelon FitzPatrick, LLC's, NMP LLC's, and
Ginna LLC's respective ownership interests in the FitzPatrick, NMP, and
Ginna facilities, whereby these entities and, as applicable, parent
entities, would become subsidiaries of a newly-created, wholly-owned
subsidiary of SpinCo. The name of this new subsidiary is yet to be
determined; therefore, the application, as supplemented, refers to this
subsidiary as New York HoldCo. Additionally, Exelon FitzPatrick, LLC
will be renamed. The new name for Exelon FitzPatrick, LLC is yet to be
determined; therefore, the application, as supplemented, refers to it
as New FitzPatrick, LLC.
The February 25, 2021, application, as supplemented, also requests
NRC approval to replace existing nuclear operating services agreements
and financial support agreements associated with the ownership and
operation of the Calvert Cliffs, NMP, Ginna, and FitzPatrick
facilities. The application requests NRC approval to transfer the
qualified and non-qualified trusts for FitzPatrick from Exelon
Generation Consolidation, LLC (a subsidiary of EGC) to New FitzPatrick,
LLC. The application, as supplemented, requests amendments to the
Calvert Cliffs, Units 1 and 2; NMP, Units 1 and 2; and Ginna licenses
to delete conditions referencing the Constellation Energy Nuclear
Group, LLC (a subsidiary of EGC at the time of the proposed
transaction) Board and its operating agreement to reflect the internal
reorganization of EGC described in the application.
By order dated November 26, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19228A130),
as modified by order dated October 21, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML20259A469), the NRC authorized the direct transfer of Facility
Operating License Nos. DPR-39 and DPR-48 for Zion, Units 1 and 2,
respectively, and the generally licensed Zion ISFSI from ZionSolutions,
LLC to EGC. Prior to completing the Zion license transfer,
ZionSolutions, LLC must complete the decommissioning of Zion, Units 1
and 2. Once the Zion license transfer is completed, EGC will hold the
licenses for Zion, Units 1 and 2, and own, operate, and hold the
license for the Zion ISFSI. According to the February 25, 2021,
application, the Zion license transfer will be completed prior to the
spin transaction; therefore, following the spin transaction, EGC
(operating under a new name) would continue to hold the licenses for
Zion, Units 1 and
[[Page 23439]]
2, and own, operate, and hold the license for the Zion ISFSI.
No physical changes to the facilities or operational changes are
being proposed in the application.
The NRC's regulations at 10 CFR 50.80 and 72.50 state that no
license, or any right thereunder, shall be transferred, directly or
indirectly, through transfer of control of the license, unless the
Commission gives its consent in writing. The Commission will approve an
application for the indirect transfer of a license, if the Commission
determines that the proposed transfer will not affect the
qualifications of the licensee to hold the license, and that the
transfer is otherwise consistent with applicable provisions of law,
regulations, and orders issued by the Commission
Before issuance of the proposed conforming license amendments, the
Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of
1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations.
As provided in 10 CFR 2.1315, unless otherwise determined by the
Commission with regard to a specific application, the Commission has
determined that any amendment to the license of a utilization facility
or to the license of an ISFSI that does no more than conform the
license to reflect the transfer action involves no significant hazards
consideration and no genuine issue as to whether the health and safety
of the public will be significantly affected. No contrary determination
has been made with respect to this specific license amendment
application. In light of the generic determination reflected in 10 CFR
2.1315, no public comments with respect to significant hazards
considerations are being solicited, notwithstanding the general comment
procedures contained in 10 CFR 50.91.
III. Opportunity To Comment
Within 30 days from the date of publication of this notice, persons
may submit written comments regarding the license transfer application,
as provided for in 10 CFR 2.1305. The Commission will consider and, if
appropriate, respond to these comments, but such comments will not
otherwise constitute part of the decisional record. Comments should be
submitted as described in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
IV. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave to
Intervene
Within 20 days after the date of publication of this notice, any
persons (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by this action may
file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to intervene
(petition) with respect to the action. Petitions shall be filed in
accordance with the Commission's ``Agency Rules of Practice and
Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309. The NRC's regulations are accessible
electronically from the NRC Library on the NRC's website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a petition is filed,
the Commission or a presiding officer will rule on the petition and, if
appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be issued.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d), the petition should specifically
explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with
particular reference to the following general requirements for
standing: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the
petitioner; (2) the nature of the petitioner's right to be made a party
to the proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of the petitioner's
property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (4) the
possible effect of any decision or order which may be entered in the
proceeding on the petitioner's interest.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), the petition must also set
forth the specific contentions which the petitioner seeks to have
litigated in the proceeding. Each contention must consist of a specific
statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the petitioner must provide a brief explanation of the bases
for the contention and a concise statement of the alleged facts or
expert opinion which support the contention and on which the petitioner
intends to rely in proving the contention at the hearing. The
petitioner must also provide references to the specific sources and
documents on which the petitioner intends to rely to support its
position on the issue. The petition must include sufficient information
to show that a genuine dispute exists with the applicant or licensee on
a material issue of law or fact. Contentions must be limited to matters
within the scope of the proceeding. The contention must be one which,
if proven, would entitle the petitioner to relief. A petitioner who
fails to satisfy the requirements at 10 CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at
least one contention will not be permitted to participate as a party.
Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding,
subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene.
Parties have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing with respect to resolution of that party's admitted
contentions, including the opportunity to present evidence, consistent
with the NRC's regulations, policies, and procedures.
Petitions must be filed no later than 20 days from the date of
publication of this notice. Petitions and motions for leave to file new
or amended contentions that are filed after the deadline will not be
entertained absent a determination by the presiding officer that the
filing demonstrates good cause by satisfying the three factors in 10
CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). The petition must be filed in
accordance with the filing instructions in the ``Electronic Submissions
(E-Filing)'' section of this document.
A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian
Tribe, or agency thereof may submit a petition to the Commission to
participate as a party under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition should
state the nature and extent of the petitioner's interest in the
proceeding. The petition should be submitted to the Commission no later
than 20 days from the date of publication of this notice. The petition
must be filed in accordance with the filing instructions in the
``Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)'' section of this document, and
should meet the requirements for petitions set forth in this section,
except that under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local governmental body,
Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof does not need to
address the standing requirements in 10 CFR 2.309(d) if the facility is
located within its boundaries. Alternatively, a State, local
governmental body, Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof
may participate as a non-party under 10 CFR 2.315(c).
If a hearing is granted, any person who is not a party to the
proceeding and is not affiliated with or represented by a party may, at
the discretion of the presiding officer, be permitted to make a limited
appearance pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person
making a limited appearance may make an oral or written statement of
his or her position on the issues but may not otherwise participate in
the proceeding. A limited appearance may be made at any session of the
hearing or at any prehearing conference, subject to the limits and
conditions as may be imposed by the presiding officer. Details
regarding the opportunity to make a limited appearance will be provided
by the presiding officer if such sessions are scheduled.
V. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings, including a
request for hearing and petition for leave to intervene (petition), any
motion
[[Page 23440]]
or other document filed in the proceeding prior to the submission of a
request for hearing or petition to intervene, and documents filed by
interested governmental entities that request to participate under 10
CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in accordance with the NRC's E-Filing rule
(72 FR 49139; August 28, 2007, as amended at 77 FR 46562; August 3,
2012). The E-Filing process requires participants to submit and serve
all adjudicatory documents over the internet, or in some cases to mail
copies on electronic storage media. Detailed guidance on making
electronic submissions may be found in the Guidance for Electronic
Submissions to the NRC and on the NRC website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html. Participants may not submit paper copies
of their filings unless they seek an exemption in accordance with the
procedures described below.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10
days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the
Office of the Secretary by email at [email protected], or by
telephone at 301-415-1677, to (1) request a digital identification (ID)
certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or
representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing
system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise
the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or
other adjudicatory document (even in instances in which the
participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the
Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the hearing in this
proceeding if the Secretary has not already established an electronic
docket.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html.Once a participant has obtained a
digital ID certificate and a docket has been created, the participant
can then submit adjudicatory documents. Submissions must be in Portable
Document Format (PDF). Additional guidance on PDF submissions is
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A filing is considered complete at the
time the document is submitted through the NRC's E-Filing system. To be
timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system
no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of
a transmission, the E-Filing system timestamps the document and sends
the submitter an email notice confirming receipt of the document. The
E-Filing system also distributes an email notice that provides access
to the document to the NRC's Office of the General Counsel and any
others who have advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to
participate in the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the
document on those participants separately. Therefore, applicants and
other participants (or their counsel or representative) must apply for
and receive a digital ID certificate before adjudicatory documents are
filed so that they can obtain access to the documents via the E-Filing
system.
A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC's Electronic
Filing Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC's
public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by
email to [email protected] or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-
7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government
holidays.
Participants who believe that they have a good cause for not
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing
stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted by: (1) First class mail
addressed to the Office of the Secretary of the Commission, U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, Attention:
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, express mail, or
expedited delivery service to the Office of the Secretary, 11555
Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852, Attention: Rulemaking and
Adjudications Staff. Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this
manner are responsible for serving the document on all other
participants. Filing is considered complete by first-class mail as of
the time of deposit in the mail, or by courier, express mail, or
expedited delivery service upon depositing the document with the
provider of the service. A presiding officer, having granted an
exemption request from using E-Filing, may require a participant or
party to use E-Filing if the presiding officer subsequently determines
that the reason for granting the exemption from use of E-Filing no
longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the
NRC's electronic hearing docket which is available to the public at
https://adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the
Commission or the presiding officer. If you do not have an NRC-issued
digital ID certificate as described above, click ``cancel'' when the
link requests certificates and you will be automatically directed to
the NRC's electronic hearing dockets where you will be able to access
any publicly available documents in a particular hearing docket.
Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information,
such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone
numbers in their filings, unless an NRC regulation or other law
requires submission of such information. For example, in some
instances, individuals provide home addresses in order to demonstrate
proximity to a facility or site. With respect to copyrighted works,
except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory
filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants are
requested not to include copyrighted materials in their submission.
The Commission will issue a notice or order granting or denying a
hearing request or intervention petition, designating the issues for
any hearing that will be held and designating the Presiding Officer. A
notice granting a hearing will be published in the Federal Register and
served on the parties to the hearing.
For further details with respect to this application, see the
application dated February 25, 2021, as supplemented on March 25, 2021.
VI. Access to Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information for
Contention Preparation
Any person who desires access to proprietary, confidential
commercial information that has been redacted from the application
should contact the applicant by telephoning Tamra Domeyer, EGC, at
(630) 657-3753 or Alex Polonsky, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, at (202)
