The Honorable Griffin B. Bell Attorney General Washington, D.C.
20530 Attention:
Donald A. Kaplan, Chief Energy Section Antitrust Division Department of Justice Re:
Seabrook fluclear Power Station, Unit flo.1 and No. 2 Public Service Company of New Hampshire, et al.
E Docket Nos. 50-443A & 50-444A
Dear Mr. Attorney General:
Under cover of the enclosed letter dated flay 14, 1979, Public Service Company of New Hampshire, et al. has filed with the flRC information concerning certain changes in ownership participation in the above referenced Seabrook Power Stations.
This information was submitted in compliance with 10 CFR 550.33a of the NRC regula tions. The Attorney General has provided the Commission with previous antitrust advice concerning this application in letters dated December 4,1973, November 11, 1975, and December 19, 1978.
The transfers of ownership in question were entered into by an April 18, 1979 agreement that transfers ownership shares among several entities that were already participants in the Seabrook project.
The Attorney General previously filed antitrust advice with respect to each of the participants that nave received increased shares with the exception of the Bangor Hydro Electric Company (Bangor), the Town of Hudson (Hudson), and the Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant Commission (Taunton).
Bangor, Hudson and Taunton had not been included in this antitrust advice because of the de minimis extent of their ownership in the project.
Since the April 18, 1979 participation agreement increases Bangor's ownership participation in the Seabrook facilities to fifty megawatts, antitrust advice with respect to Bangor will now be necessary.
For your review, we are for-warding a copy of question 9 of Appendix L of CFR Part 50 which was sub-mitted o1 behalf of Bangor as part of Public Service Company of New Hampshire's et al. May 15, 1978 Amendment 39 to the Seabrook facility.
Hudson and Taunton's ownership shares continue to be de minimis and accordingly no antitrust infor-u1ation is being submitted with rEpect to them at this time.

_2 It is requested that you render such advice to the Commission as you determine to be appropriate in regard to the findings to be made by the Commission par-suant to Section 105(c) of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
Sincerely, b.
