IRWIN FACSIMILE (804) 78 8-3218 FILE No. 36769.000005 DIRFrT DIAL (804) 788-8357 April 23,1991 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission BY FEDERAL EXPRESS One White Flint North 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, Maryland 20852 Attn: Document Control Desk Kansas Gas and Electric Company (Wolf Creek Generating Station):

NRC Ooerating License NPF-42 Gentlemen:

Pursuant to 10 C.F.R. 66 50.4(b)(2)(ii) and 50.90, Kansas Gas and Electric Company (KG&E) transmits herewith an application for amendment to Facility Operating License No.

NPF-42.

This application requests that the Wolf Creek Operating License be amended by the addition of a footnote to 12. A, memorializing the transfer of KG&E's possession-only interest in NPF-42 to a wholly owned subsidiary of The Kansas Power and Light Company. The transfer will occur upon the merger of KG&E with and into that subsidiary, which is presently in existence and named KCA Corporation. It will be renamed Kansas Gas and Electric Company immediately upon consummation of the merger. No other changes to the license are associated with the merger.

KG&E has already filed on March 28 a request with the Commission, pursuant to 10 C.F.R. Q 50.80, for transfer of its license interest. This amendment application is made ,

pursuant to subsequent discussions with the Staff, and refers to the license amendment request in order to avoid duplication. KG&E requests that the Staff review the two documents together.

As noyd in the application, the merger which forms the basis for the requested license transfer and amendment requires the approval of other agencies beyond the NRC. In addition, it must be comoleted by December 31, 1991, or it becomes subject to cancellation by either party. There are significant financial and management advantages to completing the merger as early as possible before that date, and progress before the other agencies presently appears to be consistent with obtaining all such approvals substantially before year's end.
