ORDER CLI-81-17 On January 26, 1981, Metropolitan Edison advised the Commission that it had filed an application for an amendment to its operating license with the NRC staff which would transfer from Metropolitan Edison to GPU Nuclear Corpor-ation the authority to possess, use and operate the TMI-l facility.
It also filed a motion requesting the Commission to modify its July 2,1979 Order as appropriate to extend to GPU Nuclear the restriction on Metropolitan Edison that Unit One be maintained in a cold shutdown condition.
Dn that same date it also filed a motion requesting the Commission to amend its August 9,1979, CLI-79-8,10 NRC 141, and March 6,1980, CLI-80-5,11 NRC 408, Orders to authorize the TMI-l Restart Licensing Board to consider the qualifications of GPU Nuclear, rather than Metropolitan Edison to restart and operate TMI-1.
On February 17, 1981, the NRC staff filed a response to the motions which requested that the Commission defer action on these requests until the NRC staff had the gDh
