Box 149347 Austin TX, 78714-9347 to TXX-16139 Page 1 of 4 License Amendment Request 16-003 DESCRIPTION AND ASSESSMENT

1.0 DESCRIPTION

By this letter, Vistra Operations Company LLC (Vistra OpCo) requests an amendment to the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant (CPNPP) Unit 1 Operating License (NPF-87) and CPNPP Unit 2 Operating License (NPF-89), and the title page to the Environmental Protection Plan to replace TEX Operations Company LLC with Vistra Operations Company LLC. No changes to the CPNPP Technical Specifications are being requested.

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S The proposed changes update the CPNPP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Operating Licenses and title page of the Environmental Protection Plan by replacing the licensee name "TEX Operations Company LLC" with "Vistra Operations Company LLC."

Attachment 2 provides markups of the affected pages of Operating Licenses NPF-87 and NPF-89 for Units 1 and 2, respectively, and the title page of the Environmental Protection Plan.

Attachment 3 provides the retyped Operating Licenses NPF-87 and NPF-89 for Units 1 and 2, respectively, and the title page of the Environmental Protection Plan to reflect the proposed changes.

3.0 BACKGROUND

On November 14, 2016, TEX Operations Company LLC changed the company name of "TEX Operations Company LLC" to "Vistra Operations Company LLC". This was done as part of a companywide "re-branding" effort by Vistra Energy Corp. (the ultimate parent) to conform with the Vistra brand. The proposed changes to the Unit 1 and Unit 2 Facility Operating Licenses reflect the changed licensee name. This name change is purely administrative in nature. This request does not involve a transfer of control over or of an interest in the licenses for CPNPP Units 1 and 2.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

The proposed amendment is purely administrative in nature. No physical changes will be made as a result of this change, and there will be no change in the day-to-day operation of CPNPP.

There is no change to the licensee's capabilities, rights, or obligations. Changes to CPNPP site documents and processes are anticipated to be administrative in nature and documented in accordance with the applicable regulations (e.g., 10 CFR 50.59).

5.0 REGULATORY ANALYSIS

5.1 No Significant Hazards Determination Vistra OpCo has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendment(s) by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10CFR50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below:

1. Do the proposed changes involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

to TXX-16139 Page 2 of 4 Response: No The proposed amendment changes a name of a licensee. The proposed name change is purely administrative. The functions of the licensee will not change.

The proposed amendment does not alter the design, function, or operation of any plant equipment. As such, the accident and transient analyses contained in the facility updated final safety analysis reports will not be impacted. Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. Do the proposed changes create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response: No The proposed amendment changes a name of a licensee. The proposed name change is purely administrative. The functions of the licensee will not change.

The proposed amendment does not alter the design, function, or operation of any plant equipment. As such, the accident and transient analyses contained in the facility updated final safety analysis reports will not be impacted. Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

3. Do the proposed changes involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

Response: No The proposed amendment changes a name of a licensee. The proposed name change is purely administrative. The functions of the licensee will not change.

The proposed amendment does not alter the design, function, or operation of any plant equipment. As such, the accident and transient analyses contained in the facility updated final safety analysis reports will not be impacted. Therefore the proposed change does not involve a reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above evaluations, Vistra OpCo concludes that the proposed amendment present no significant hazards under the standards set forth in 10CFR50.92(c) and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements/ Criteria 10 CFR 50.90, "Application for amendment of license, construction permit, or early site permit" Under 10 CFR 50.80, Transfer of Licenses, no license or control of a license for a utilization facility may be transferred, directly or indirectly, to any entity unless the NRC consents in writing. However, licensee name changes do not, by themselves, constitute license transfers. The proposed amendment is purely a name change and does not involve the transfer of any control over the CPNPP Unit 1 and Unit 2 Facility Operating Licenses to another entity.

There is not a transfer of a license or of an interest in a license within the meaning of 10 to TXX-16139 Page 3 of 4 CFR 50.80. Standard NRC guidance on this subject is contained in the Standard Review Plan on Power Reactor Licensee Financial Qualifications and Decommissioning Funding Assurance (NUREG-1577, Rev. 1, (1999)) which states, in connection with review of applications for license transfers, that: "The reviewer should treat applications involving changes of ownership, mergers, formation of holding companies, and other restructuring proposals that go beyond corporate name changes or internal reorganizations as potential transfers of licenses, directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of the license, as subject to section 50.80 review, and not merely subject to a section 50.90 license amendment review .... (A name change of a licensee that does not involve license transfer considerations under section 50.80 will be effected by a license amendment issued administratively under section 50.90.)"

In conclusion, based on the discussion in the above sections, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The proposed license amendment only changes the licensee name and 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 cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)(iii). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

7.0 PRECEDENTS This application is consistent with previous NRC actions in similar circumstances not involving transfers of ownership or control.

By letter dated May 14, 1999, Texas Utilities Electric Company submitted an amendment to the NRC for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 to change the company name to TXU Electric Company (Reference 8.1). The proposed amendment indicated it was an administrative change. The NRC approved the amendment on August 31, 1999 (Reference 8.2).

By letter dated September 20, 2011, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company submitted an amendment to the NRC for Beaver Valley Station, Units 1and2, Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, and Perry Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 to change the company name to FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC (Reference 8.3). The proposed amendment indicated it was an administrative change. The NRC approved the amendment on October 2, 2012 (Reference 8.4).

By letter dated December 21, 2012, DTE Energy Company submitted an amendment to the NRC for Enrico Fermi Atomic Power Plant, Unit 1, to change the company name to DTE Electric Company (Reference 8.5). The proposed amendment indicated it was an administrative change.

The NRC approved the amendment on August 8, 2013 (Reference 8.6).
