By letter dated July 29, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 1521 OA049), NCEMPA and Duke Energy notified the NRC of the July 31, 2015, closing date for the license transfers.
Accordingly, the Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment Nos. 267, 295, and 147 to Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-71, DPR-62, and NPF-63 (Enclosures 1, 2, and 3). These conforming amendments reflect the direct transfer of the licenses of the percent of ownership from NCEMPA to Duke Energy and removal of NCEMPA from the licenses. The safety evaluation supporting the conforming amendments was enclosed with the orders issued on July 6, 2015.
Enclosures 4 and 5 contain signed originals of Amendment No. 14 to Indemnity Agreement No. B-71 and Amendment No. 5 to Indemnity Agreement No. B-103, which are required because of the direct transfer of the licenses.
