The transfer of operating authority approved by Reference 1 was subject to two conditions.

After receipt of all required regulatory approvals of the transfer of operating authority to NMC, WEPCo and NMC shall inform the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation in writing.., of the date of the closing of the transfer no later than 7 business days prior to the date of closing.

Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WEPCo) is prepared to transfer operating authority and NMC is prepared to accept the operating authority for the Point Beach Nuclear Plant. The transfer of operating authority is expected to take place on Monday, August 7, 2000. WEPCo respectfully requests that the NRC issue the conforming license amendments necessary to support the operating authority transfer to the NMC and that those amendments be made effective on August 7, 2000.

The need for completion of the transfer of operating authority on August 7, 2000, thus providing less than the seven working day notice requested by the NRC in Reference 1, was discussed with the NRC Staff by telecom on August 4, 2000.
