Dear Mr. Crane:

By application dated January 29, 2009, Exelon Corporation (Exelon), acting on behalf of itself, Exelon Xchange Corporation (Xchange Corp.), Exelon Ventures Company, LLC (Exelon Ventures), and Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon Generation), (together Applicants) requested the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's consent to the indirect transfer of control of the NRC licenses for NRG South Texas LPs (NRG South Texas) 44 percent share of ownership interest in South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2 (STP), and to the extent required, the Exelon Generations facilities referenced above.

The NRC staff performed an acceptance review to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements. Based on its review, the NRC staff concluded that supplemental information was needed in order to determine the acceptability of the Exelon Corporation's January 29, 2009 application.

By letter dated March 6, 2009, the NRC staff's informed the Exelon Corporation that supplemental information outlined in the March 6, 2009 letter was necessary to enable the NRC staff to make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed application

in terms of regulatory requirements, and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. In order to make the application complete, the NRC staff requested that the applicants provide the requested supplemental information by March 20, 2009. This would enable the NRC staff to begin its detailed technical review.

On March 18, 2009, the applicant responded to the NRC staff's request, enclosing the requested supplemental information.

The NRC staff has reviewed the Exelon's January 29, 2009 application, and the March 18, 2009 supplemental information, and concluded that together the two submittals do provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the staff to proceed with its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed indirect transfers of the specified licenses in terms of regulatory requirements, and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. If additional information is needed for the staff to complete its detailed technical review, you will be advised of it by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-1476 or email Mohan.Thadani@nrc.gov.
