Nuclear Decommissioning Fund Reporting Requirements Purst. ant to 10 CFR 50.75 i

Gentlemen:

'The purpose of this letter is to request information concerning our reporting obligation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.75.

l Duquesne Light Company (Duquesne) owns undivided interests in and i

is a

licensee with respect to two nuclear units, Beaver Valley Unit i

No. -

1, part of a

multiple-unit

station, and Perry Unit No.

1, a

single unit station.

Duquesne is also a licensee with respect to Beaver Valley Unit No.

2 in which Duquesne is a

lessee of an undivided interest pursuant to a sale / lease back arrangement which was approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission on September 23, i

1987.'

With respect to each of these units, the remaining undivided interests are owned in varying percentages by other members of the i

Contral Area Power Coordinating Group (CAPCO).

The CAPCO memberc are Duquesne; Ohio Edison Company and its subsidiary, Pennsylvania Power Company; and the Centerior Energy Corporation companies, The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company and the Toledo Edison Company.

Under the CAPCO Basic Operating Agreement, Duquesne is the a

operator of Beaver Valley Unit Nos.

I and 2.

Cleveland Electric l

Illuminating Company is the operator of Perry Unit No.

1.

Each CAPCO member _ owning an interest in any of these units is a licensee with i

respect to that unit.

Duquesne has-established external decommissioning funds with r

respect to each unit (Beaver Valley Units No. 1 and 2 and Perry Unit No.

1) and will be prepared to submit a report with respect to its interest in each unit.

Paragraph (b) of 10 CFR 50.75 states, in pertinent

pert, that each electric utility holder of an operating l

license for a

utilization facility shall submit a decommissioning L

report.

Page 2 As noted above, each cwner of an undivided interest in each of these

[

units is identified as a

licensee.

Thus, it appears that each 1

owner / licensee should submit a decommissioning report with respect to i

its interest in each unit, in contrast to the operator of the unit submitting a report on behalf of all owners / licensees of that unit.

We have discussed this with Mr. Frank eardile of your staff in an

?

effort to obtain clarification of t-reporting requirements;

however, we believe it is importar.

to obtain your written interpretation to assure proper reporting is achieved.

Our current

opinion, based on our reading of the regulation, is that each l

owner / licensee should submit a decommissioning report with respect to its interest in each unit.

If the operating licensee is to report on behalf of all owners of a

unit, the reporting and information gathering burden on the operator changes significantly.

Please

advise, at your earliest convenience, regarding the reporting requirements expected in order to satisfy 10 CFR 50.75.

Sincerely,

{
