Page 4 Introduction Pursuant to Section 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (AEA), and 10 CFR 50.80, FirstEnergyNuclear Operating Company (FENOC), acting as agent for and on behalf of FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (FENGen) and the Ohio Edison Company (OE), hereby submits the enclosed application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requesting consent to the transfer of the leased interests in Perry Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP). FENOC requests an order consenting to the transfer to FENGen of OE's 12.58 percent leased interest in PNPP. This application also requests a conforming administrative amendment (see Exhibits A and B) to the PNPP license to: 1. Reflect the proposed transfer of leased interests in PNPP from OE to FENGen; Delete OE from the PNPP license; and Authorize FENGen to possess the leased interest in PNPP being transferred by oE. FENGEN is currently licensed to possess 87.42 percent of PNPP. This application seeks to transfer the remaining interest in PNPP held by OE to FENGen. FENGen will own 100 percent of PNPP, ffid FENOC will continue to operate PNPP. This application also includes the required financial and other information to support its approval by NRC. FENGen is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (FES), which, in turn, is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp.(FE). FE's l0 electric utility operating companies form one of the nation's largest investor-owned electric systems, with over 6 million customers served within a nearly 65,000-square-mile are of Ohio, Pennsylvania,New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, and New York. Its generation subsidiaries operate nearly 18,000 megawatts of capacity. In20l4, FE had revenues exceeding $15 billion and net income of approximately $300 million. In accordance with NRC's requirements, five year pro forma frnancial projections are provided in Exhibit G. This financial information is confidential commercial information, and FENOC requests that Exhibit G be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 2.390 and 10 CFR 9.17. Aredacted version of Exhibit G suitable forpublic disclosure is provided inthe non-proprietary version of this application. A confidential version of Exhibit G is provided in a separate enclosure. An affidavit supporting the request for withholding the confidential version of Exhibit G from public disclosure is also provided in a separate enclosure. The information contained in this application demonstrates that FENGen possesses the requisite qualifications to own OE's existing leased interest in PNPP. The proposed transfer of control of OE's interest will not result in any change in the role of FENOC as the licensed operator of the facilities. Finally, this request for transfer of control of OE's interest in the PNPP license does not involve any entities that are owned, controlled, or dominated by a foreign entity. 2. a J.
Page 5 In summary, the proposed transfer will be consistent with the requirements set forth in the AEA, NRC regulations, and the relevant NRC licenses and orders. No physical changes will be made to PNPP, ffid there will be no changes in the day-to-day operation of those plants as a result of these transfers. The proposed transfer will not have any adverse impact on the public health and safety, nor will these transfers be inimical to the common defense and security. The application solely requests approval for the transfer of an ownership interest within the same FE family of companies. FENOC respectfully requests that the NRC consent to the transfers of control in accordance with 10 CFR 50.80 and approve the conforming license amendments. II. Statement of Purpose of the Transfer and Nature of the Transaction Making the Transfer NecessarT or Desirable As part of corporate restructurings in 2005 and 2006, FE established FES as its affiliate responsible for the purchase and sale of electricity in competitive markets. A wholly owned subsidiary of FES - FirstEnergy Generation Corp. (Fossil GenCo) - was created to own and operate the fossil and hydro generation facilities formerly owned and operated by the regulated wires companies. Fossil GenCo is an exempt wholesale generator (EWG) and sells the output of its portfolio of generation to FES pursuant to a purchased power contract approved by the FERC. FES, in turn, sells its power into competitive wholesale and retail markets at market based rates. FENGen performs the same function as Fossil GenCo for the nuclear facilities owned by the FE subsidiaries, with the notable exception that FENOC continues to perform its role as the licensed operator for the FE fleet of nuclear plants - PNPP, the Beaver Valley Power Station (BVPS), and the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station (DBNPS). FENGen is an EWG, and sells the output of its plants to FES under a cost-based wholesale contract approved by the FERC and previously reviewed by NRC in connection with the 2005 and 2006 restructuring activities. Thus, majority ownership of PNPP, BVPS, and DBNPS was transferred to FENGen to further implement the restructuring of FE's electric utility operations and to enhance the ability of FE and its subsidiaries to compete in electric energy markets. However, atthattime, OE's 12.58 percent interest in PNPP was subject to sale-leaseback ilrangements that were entered into in 1987, and this interest was not transferred to FENGen. Instead, OE entered into commercial arangements whereby FENGen acquired the rights to this 12.58 percent of PNPP's electrical output and responsibility for the associated costs of this interest in PNPP. The lease rrangements forthe OE's 12.58 percent interest in PNPP expire onMay 30,2016, and FENGen has acquired the rights to own this 12.58 percent interest beginning May 31,2016. Thus, FENGen requires NRC's prior written consent so that this interest in PNPP may be transferred from OE to FENGen at 12:00 a.m. on May 31,2016. The conforming license amendment can be issued effective May 31,2016.
III. Page 6 Supporting Information A. General Corporate Information The proposed licensee for the transferred interest in PNPP is FENGen. The parent companies of FENGen are reflected in Exhibits C and D (Exhibit C provides the license interest structure before the transfer; Exhibit D provides the proposed structure after the transfer.) The information regarding each corporate entity required by 10 CFR 50.33(d)(3) is provided in Exhibit E. All of the current directors and executive personnel of the corporate entities are citizens of the United States, and their mailing addresses are as shown for their respective corporate entities. B. Foreign Ownership or Control FE is a publicly traded company, ffid its securities are traded on the New York Stock Exchange and are widely held. Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 78m(d), requires that a person or entity that owns or controls more than 5 percent of the securities of a company must file notice with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Based upon filings with the SEC, FE is not aware of any aliens, foreign corporations, or foreign govemments that hold or may hold beneficial ownership of more than 5 percent of the securities of FE. No foreign entities have any representation on FE's Board of Directors or rights to appoint any managers or directors of FE. The current directors and executive officers of FE, FES, and FENGen are United States citizens. There is no reason to believe that the Applicant is owned, controlled, or dominated by any alien, foreign corporation, or foreign government. Thus, the transfer of control of the leased interests will not result in any foreign ownership, domination, or control of these entities within the meaning of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended. C. No Agency In seeking to increase its interests in PNPP, FENGen is not acting as the agent or representative of any other person or entity. D. Technical Quaffications The technical qualifications of FENOC are not affected by the proposed transfers of control of OE's leased interest in PNPP to FENGen. There will be no physical changes to PNPP and no changes in the day-to-day operations of FENOC in connection with the transfers of OE's leased interests in PNPP. FENOC will at all times remain the licensed operator of PNPP, and there will be no changes in the FENOC senior management team resulting from the proposed license transfers.
Page 7 E. Financial Qualifrcations General information regarding FE and FES is provided in their 2014 Annual Report (Form l0-K), which is available at: http://www.sec. gov/Archives/edgar/data/1407703/000103 12961 500001 1/fe-123 12014x10k.htm FENGen currently has a financial support agreement with FE in the total amount of $400 million that is sufficient to provide assurance that adequate funds will be available to fund ongoing operations and maintenance expenses with respect to all of FENGen's interests in BVPS, PNPP, and DBNPS. Financial information regarding FE, including its Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheet, is provided at Pages 110-114 of the Form l0-K. Ithad more than $15 billion in revenue and net income of nearly $300 million in20l4. The value of its depreciated property, plant, ffid equipment in service exceeded $35 billion, and its common stockholder's net equity exceeded $12 billion as of December 3l,2014. In connection with the proposed transfer, FENGen proposes to terminate the existing agreement with FE, and enter into a new financial support agreement with FES in the amount of $400 million. A copy of the form of this agreement is provided as Exhibit F. Financial information regarding FES, including its Consolidated Statements of Income and Consolidated Balance Sheet, is provided at Pages I l5-118 of the Form lO-K. It had more than $6 billion in revenue and negative net income of approximately 5244 million in20l4. The value of its depreciated property, plant, and equipment in service exceeded $9 billion, and its common stockholder's net equity exceeded $5.5 billion as of December 31,2014. This Application constitutes the 30 days prior notice required by Section 4 of the termination of the existing FE support agreement upon FES's execution of the Form of Support Agreement. FES intends to promptly execute the support agreement upon receipt of NRC's approval of the proposed license transfer as described in this Application. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.33(f) and the Standard Review Plan on Power Reactor Licensee Financial Qualifications and Decommissioning Funding Assurance (NUREG-1577, Rev. l) (Standard Review Plan), FENGen's Pro Forma Income Statements for the S-year period from January 1,2016 until December 31,2020 are provided in Exhibit G. Projected cash flows forthe same period are also provided in Exhibit G. Exhibit G is proprietary and is therefore provided in a separate enclosure to this submittal, and as previously stated, FENOC requests that this be withheld from public disclosure. A redacted version of Exhibit G, suitable for public disclosure, is included with this application. FENGen and FES have entered into a power supply agreement through which FENGen will recover its operating, maintenance, ffid capital costs associated with its interest in PNPP, including the 12.58 percent being transferred from OE. FENGen recovers its costs under the power supply agreement, even if the nuclear units do not operate. FES currently has investment grade ratings of Baa3 issued by Moody's and of BBB-by Standard& Poor's for its senior rmsecured debt. (See Form 10-K, Page 74.) Notably, under NRC's Standard Review Plan (Section III.l.b), an applicant that maintains an investment grade credit rating from at least two credible rating agencies is presumed to meet the financial qualifications test. Thus, these ratings
Page 8 support FES' financial capability to meet its obligations under both the power supply agreement and the $400 million financial support agreement. The Pro Forma Income Statement provided in Exhibit G shows that the expected revenues of FENGen from the sale of capacity and energy received under the power supply agreement will cover FENGen's estimated annual operating costs, for the five calendar years 2016 through 2020, for its interest in PNPP. This Pro Forma Income Statement reflects results based upon the current business plan for operating PNPP. The assumed capacity factors are provided in Exhibit G. However, even if PNPP does not operate as expected, FENGen will recover FENOC's costs of operation through the base demand and energy charges in the power supply agreement and through a "formula rate" provision permitting FENGen to recover increases in its capital expenditures and operating expenses that exceed its base demand and energy charges during the contract term In addition to the assurance of the availability of funds to cover costs through the power supply agreement, FENGen will be able to call upon funds pursuant to the $400 million financial support agreement between FES and FENGen described above. This provides further assurance that FENGen will have access to funds sufficient to pay its pro rata share of the fixed operating and maintenance (O&M) costs in the event of an unanticipated plant shutdown. Pursuant to this support agreement, FES will make up to $400 million in funding available to FENGen to meet its obligations relating to its interests in the nuclear units that FENGen owns. This provides a source of funds that is approximately six months'worth of fixed O&M costs forthe FENGen fleet of nuclear plants, as currently projected for the years 2016-2020. Further, FES and its affiliate, Allegheny Energy Supply Company,LLC, participate in a five-year syndicated $1.5 billionrevolving credit facility, which is available until March 31,2019. FES's individual sublimit under the facility is $1.5 billion while Allegheny Energy Supply Company, LLC's sublimit is $ 1.0 billion. As of March 3l, 2015, there is $ I.177 billion of available liquidity under the facility. This provides an additional source of funds that exceeds six months' worth of fixed O&M costs for the FENGen fleet of nuclear plants. F. Decommissioning Fanding The existing trust funds held by OE related to their leased interest in PNPP will be transferred to FENGen. The FENGen nuclear decommissioning trusts (NDTs) are held in external trust funds segregated from FENGen's assets and outside its administrative control. The funds are governed by the Master NDT Agreement with Mellon Bank, N.A. as Trustee, and the terms of that agreement comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(hxl). The existing "Master Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Agreement" incorporating the terms required by 10 CFR 50.75(hxl) will remain in effect and will govern the funds to be transferred by OE. The NRC minimum amount of decommissioning funding assurance required for PNPP calculated pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75(c) (the "formula amount") is approximately $679.59 million. Based uponthe total balance of $486.36 million as of December 31,2014,the total NDT balance for PNPP, after the transfer is completed, is expected to exceed the pre-paid balance required to use the "prepayment method" under NRC's regulations in
Page 9 10 CFR 50.75(e)(lxi). By letter dated March 31,2015 (ADAMS Accession No. MLl50904447), FENOC provided information to establish that the prepayment method is satisfied when earnings are credited as permitted by NRC's regulations using an assumed SAFSTOR approach to decommissioning. G. No Antitrust Considerations In accordance with the Commission's decision in Kansas Gas and Electric Company (Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit l), CLI-99-19,49 N.R.C. 441(1999), antitrust reviews of license transfer applications after initial licensing are not required by the AEA. The existing antitrust conditions in the licenses will continue in effect. H. Nuclear fnsurance In accordance with Art. IV.2 of the NRC Price-Anderson Indemnity Agreement for PNPP, FENOC requests NRC approval of the assignment and transfer of OE's applicable interest in the Price Anderson Indemnity Agreement for PNPP to FENGen in connection with the proposed license transfer. FENGen currently maintains the required nuclear energy liability insurance pursuantto Section 170 of the AEA and 10 CFR 140, and itmakes annual compliance filings in accordance with 10 CFR 140.21(e)-(f). FENGen also maintains required nuclear property damage insurance pursuant to 10 CFR 50.5a(w) and 10 CFR 140.11. I Standard Contract for Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel Upon transfer, FENGen will assume title to and responsibility for the storage and disposal of OE's transferre d pro rata share of spent nuclear fuel at PNPP. OE will assign, and FENGen will assume, OE's rights and duties under the Standard Contract with the Department of Energy for PNPP. I. Agreement to Limit Access to Restricted Data The proposed transfer does not involve any Restricted Data or other Classified National Security Information or result in any change in access to such Restricted Data or Classified National Security Information. Existing restrictions on access to Restricted Data and Classified National Security Information are unaffected by the proposed transfers. In compliance with Section 1a5(a) of the Act and 10 CFR 50.37, "Agreement Limiting Access to Classified Information," FENOC agrees that it will appropriately safeguard such information and will not permit any individual to have access to such information until the individual has been appropriately approved for such access under the provisions of 10 CFR 25, ooAccess Authorization," and/or Part 95, "Facility Security Clearance and Safeguarding of National Security Information and Restricted Data." K. Environmental Review The proposed transfer will not result in any change in the types, or any increase in the amounts, of any effluents that may be released off-site, and will not cause any increase in individual or
Page 10 cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Further, the NRC has determined in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(21) that license transfers are categorically exempt from further environmental review. Accordingly, the license transfer will involve no significant environmental impact. IV. Effective Date and Other Regulatory Approvals FENOC requests that the NRC review this application on a schedule that will permit issuance of an order consenting to the requested license transfer as promptly as practicable. In any event, approval is requested by no later than April 15,2016. Such consent should be immediately effective upon issuance and should permit the transfer to occur at 12:00 a.m. on May 31,2016. The conforming amendment should be issued effective May 31,2016. FENOC does not anticipate any other major required regulatory approvals that are expected to impact the schedule for completing the transfer. V. Conclusion For the reasons stated above, FENOC respectfully submits that the proposed transfer of OE's leased interests in PNPP to FENGen is consistent with the requirements set forth in the AEA, NRC regulations, and the relevant NRC licenses and orders. FENOC, therefore, respectfully requests that, in accordance with Section 184 of the AEA and 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 50.92, the NRC consent to the transfer of the PNPP licenses to FENGen and approve the conforming administrative amendments associated with thi s transfer.
Exhibit A Page 1 EXHIBIT A PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE ANI) TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF THE LEASED INTERBST IN PNPP TO FENGEN I. Reason for the Change A 12.58 percent licensed interest in the Perr),Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP), is being transferred to FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (FENGen). This transfer requires the submittal of a conforming amendment to the license for PNPP. The proposed changes delete some references to the current leased interest of the Ohio Edison Company (OE) (the "Transferor") and replace them with references to FENGen. Conditions related to OE's sale-leaseback arrangements are also deleted, because they are no longer applicable. References to OE will be deleted from the PNPP license since this company will no longer possess any licensed interest in PNPP. Basis for the Change After the transfer of the ownership interest, Transferor will retain no responsibility for the regulatory obligations related to the transferred interest contained in the PNPP license. Accordingly, the entity to which these responsibilities are being transferred, FENGen, must be identified in the licenses. III. Safety Assessment The proposed changes to the license identiff FENGen as the 100 percent owner of PNPP and make other minor administrative changes related to the transfer of ownership to FENGen. No physical modifications are being made to any plant systems or components, nor any changes to operations. Therefore, the proposed changes are administrative in nature and will not adversely affect nuclear safety or safe operation of these plants. IV. Description of the Proposed Changes The proposed changes to the PNPP license are included as part of this exhibit. The following pages provide a copy of the PNPP license marked with the proposed changes, and a copy of the re-typed PNPP license pages. II.

APPENDIX C For Information Only PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. UNIT NO. 1 NPF.58 ANTITRUST CONDITIONS FOR FIRSTENERGY NUCLEAR GENEMTION. LLC A. The licensees are subject to the following antitrust conditions: Definitions Applicant shall mean the company listed above. Entitv shall mean any elecfuic generation and/or distribution system or municipality or cooperative with a statutory right or privilege to engage in either of these functions. \\Mreelino shall mean transportation of electricity by a utility over its lines for another utility, including the receipt from and delivery to another system of like amounts but not necessarily the same energy. Federal Power Commission, The 1rualigl3lPgggls!rygy, Paft 1, P. 1-24-8. Licensino Conditions (1) Applicant shall not condition the sale or exchange of wholesale power or coordination services upon the condition that any other entity: (a) enter into any agreement or understanding restricting the use of or alienation of such energy or services to any customers or territories; (b) enter into any agreement or understanding requiring the receiving entity to, give up any other power supply alternatives or to deny itself any market opportunities; (c) withdraw any petition to intervene or forego participation in any proceeding before the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or refrain from instigating or prosecuting any antitrust action in any other forum. Amendment No. TBD
For Information Only Applicant, and each of them, shall offer interconnections upon reasonable terms and conditions at the request of any other electric entity(ies) in the Combined CAPCO Company Territories (CCCT), such interconnection to be available (with due regard for any necessary and applicable safety procedures) for operation in a closed-switch synchronous operating mode if requested by the interconnecting entity(ies). Ownership of trans-mission lines and switching stations associated with such interconnection shall remain in the hands of the party funding the interconnection
- subject, however, to any necessary safety procedures relating to disconnection facilities at the point of power delivery. Such limitations on ownership shall be the least necessary to achieve reasonable safety practices and shall not serve to deprive purchasing entities of a means to effect additional power supply options.
Applicant shall engage in wheeling for and at the request of other entities in the CCCT: (a) of electric energy from delivery points of Applicant to the entity(ies); and, (b) of power generated by or available to the other entity, as a result of its ownership or entitlements* in generating facilities, to delivery points of Applicant designated by the other entity. Such wheeling services shall be available with respect to any unused capacity on the transmission lines of Applicant, the use of which will not jeopardize Applicant's system. ln the event Applicant must reduce wheeling services to other entities due to lack of capacity, such reduction shall not be effected until reductions of at least 5 percent have been made in transmission capacity allocations to other Applicants in these proceedings and thereafter shall be made in proportion to reductions** imposed upon other Applicant to this proceeding. "Entitlement" includes but is not limited to power made available to an entity pursuant to an exchange agreement.
- The objective of this requirement is to prevent the pre-emption of unused capacity on the lines of one Applicant by other Applicants or by entities the transmitting Applicant deems noncompetitive. Competitive entities are to be allowed the opportunity to develop bulk power services options even if this results in re-allocation of CAPCO (Central Area Power Coordination Group) transmission channels. This relief is required in order to avoid prolongation of the effects of Applicant's illegally sustained dominance. (2)
(3) Amendment No. TBD For Information Only Applicant shall make reasonable provisions for disclosed transmission requirements of other entities in the CCCT in planning future trans-mission either individually or within the CAPCO grouping. By "disclosed" is meant the giving of reasonable advance notification of future require-ments by entities utilizing wheeling services to be made available by Applicant. (4) (a) Applicant shall make available membership in CAPCO to any entity in the CCCT with a system capability of 10 Mw or greater; (b) A group of entities with an aggregate system capability of 10 Mw or greater may obtain a single membership in CAPCO on a collective basis;* (c) Entities applying for membership in CAPCO pursuant to License Condition 4 shall become members subject to the terms and con-ditions of the CAPCO Memorandum of Understanding of September 14, 1967, and its implementing agreements; except that new members may elect to participate on an equal percentage of reserve basis rather than a P/N allocation formula for a period of twelve years from date of entrance.** Following the twelfth year of entrance, new members shall be expected to adhere to such allocation methods as are then employed by CAPCO (subject to equal opportunity for waiver or special consideration granted to original CAPCO members which then are in effect). E.9., \\tVholesale Customer of Ohio Edison (WCOE). The selection of the 12-year period reflects our determination that an adjustment period is necessary since the P/N formula has a recognized effect of discriminating against small systems and forcing them to forego economies of scale in generation in order to avoid carrying excessive levels of reserves. We also found the P/N is not entirely irrational as a method of reserve allo-cation. We have observed that Applicants themselves provided adjustment periods and waivers to integrate certain Applicants into the CAPCO reserve requirement program. The 12-year period should permit new entrants to avoid initial discrimination but to accommodate and adjust to the CAPCO system over some reasonable period of time. Presumably new entrants will be acquiring ownership shares and entitlements during the 12-year period so that adverse consequences of applying the P/N formula will be mitigated. Amendment No. TBD
4-For Information Only (5) (d) New members joining CAPCO pursuant to this provision of relief shall not be entitled to exercise voting rights until such time as the system capability of the joining member equals or exceeds the system capability of the smallest member of CAPCO which enjoys voting rights.* Applicant shall sell maintenance power to requesting entities in the CCCT upon terms and conditions no less favorable than those Applicants make available: (a) to each other either pursuant to the CAPCO agree-ments or pursuant to bilateral contract; or (b) to non-Applicant entities outside the CCCT. Applicant shall sell emergency power to requesting entities in the CCCT upon terms and conditions no less favorable than those Applicants make available: (a) to each other either pursuant to the CAPCO agreements or pursuant to bilateral contract; or (b) to non-Applicant entities outside the CCCT. Applicant shall sell economy energy to requesting entities in the CCCT, when available, on terms and conditions no less favorable than those available: (a) to each other either pursuant to the CAPCO agreements or pursuant to bilateral contract; or (b) to non-Applicant entities outside the CCCT. Applicant shall share reserves with any interconnected generation entity in the CCCT upon request. The requesting entity shall have the option of sharing reserves on an equal percentage basis or by use of the CAPCO P/N allocation formula or on any other mutually agreeable basis. (a) Applicant shall make available to entities in the CCCT access to the Davis-Besse 1, 2 and 3 and the Perry 1 and 2 nuclear units and any other nuclear units for which Applicant or any of them, shall apply for a construction permit or operating license during the (6) (7) (8) (e) Our objective is to prevent impediments to the operation and development of an area-wide power pool through the inability of lesser entities to respond timely or to make necessary planning commitments. \\Mile we grant new member entities the opportunitv to participate in CAPCO it is not our intent to relieve joining entities of responsibilities and obligations necessary to the successful operation of the pool. For those smaller entities which do not wish to assume the broad range of obligations associated with CAPCO member-ship we have provided for access to bulk power service options which will further their ability to survive and offer competltion in the CCCT. Amendment No. TBD For Information Only next 25 years. Such access, at the option of the requesting enti$, shall be on an ownership share, or unit participation or contractual pre-purchase of power basis.* Each requesting entity (or collective group of entities) may obtain up to 10o/o of the capacity of the Davis-Besse and Perry Units and 20o/o of future units (subject to the Z5-year limitation) except that once any entity or entities have contracted for allocations totaling 10% or 20o/o, respectively, no further participation in any given units need be offered. (b) Commitments for the Davis-Besse and Perry Units must be made by requesting entities within two years after this decision becomes final. Commitments for future units must be made within two years after a construction permit application is filed with respect to such a unit (subject to the Z5-year limitation) or within two years after the receipt by a requesting entity of detailed wriften notice of Applicant's plans to construct the unit, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that the time for making the commitment shall not expire until at least three months after the filing of the application for a construction permit. \\Mrere an Applicant seeks to operate a nuclear plant with respect to which it did not have an interest at the time of filing the application for the construction permit, the time periods for commitments shall be the same except that reference should be to the operating license, not the construction permit. (10) Applicant shall sell wholesale power to any requesting entity in the CCCT, in amounts needed to meet all or part of such entity's requirements. The choice as to whether the agreement should cover all or part of the entity's requirements should be made by the entity, not the Applicant or Applicants. Requesting entities' election as to the type of access may be affected by provisions of State law relating to dual ownership of generation facilities by municipalities and investor-owned utilities. Such laws may change during the period of applicability of these conditions. Accordingly, we allow requesting entities to be guided by relevant legal and financial considerations (including Commission regulations on nuclear power plant ownership) in fashioning their requests. Amendment No. TBD For Information Only (1 1) These conditions are intended as minimum conditions and do not preclude Applicant from offering additional wholesale power or coordination services to entities within or without the CCCT. However, Applicant shall not deny wholesale power or coordination services required by these conditions to non-Applicant entities in the CCCT based upon prior commitments arrived at in the CAPCO Memo-randum of Understanding or implementing agreements. Such denial shall be regarded as inconsistent with the purpose and intent of these con-ditions. The above conditions are to be implemented in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Federal Power Act and all rates, charges or practices in connection therewith are to be subject to the approval of regulatory agencies having jurisdiction over them. Amendment No. TBD
Exhibit B Page 1 EXHIBIT B NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION The proposed changes to the license are administrative in nature. The proposed changes delete the references in the license to the Transferor and change them to FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (FENGen). In its regulations, at 10 CFR 2.1315, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has made a generic determination regarding no significant hazards consideration (NSHC) determinations required by 10 CFR 50.92. The determination is applicable to license amendments involving license transfers. In brief, the rule states that the NRC has determined that an amendment to the license of a utilizationfacility that does no more than conform the license to reflectthe transfer action involves NSHC. The proposed changes contained in this license amendment application are intended solely to conform the PNPP Operating License to reflect the change in ownership as a result of the license transfers and thus meet the criteria specified by 10 CFR 2.1315.

FENOC is providing information in support of its "Application for Order Consenting to Transfer of License and Approving Conforming License Amendments." The Proprietary Version of Exhibit G being provided in the enclosure to this submittal contains financial pro forma statements related to anticipated revenues from sales of energy and capacity from Perr)'Nuclear Power Plant (PNPP) and confidential information regarding anticipated assets, liabilities and capital structure at the time of transfer. These documents constitute proprietary commercial and financial information that should be held in confidence by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to the policy reflected in 10 CFR 2.390(a)(a) and 10 CFR 9.17(d@), because:
- a.
This information is and has been held in confidence bv FENOC and its affiliates.
- b.
This information is of a type that is held in confidence by FENOC and its affiliates, ffid there is a rational basis for doing so because the information contains sensitive financial competitive information concerning FENOC's affiliates' anticipated revenues and operating expenses. This information is being transmitted to the NRC in confidence. This information is not available in public sources and could not be gathered readily from other publicly available information. Public disclosure of this information would create substantial harm to the competitive position of FENOC by disclosing its internal financialproforma statements and the cornmercial terms of a unique transaction to other parties whose commercial interests may be adverse to those of FENOC. d.
