Anendment No. I to CPPR-87 was issued July 5, 1978, to provide for the addition of the Northern flichigan Electric Cooperative, Inc. (Northern) and the Wolverine Electric Cooperative, Inc. (llolverine) as co-owners of the facility and as appli-cants for all licenses previously requested.
The ownership shares were apportioned as follows: Detroit Edison, 80.00 percent; Northern, 11.22 percent; Wolverine, 8.78 percent. Detroit Edison has had continuing sole responsibility for licensing, design, procurement, construction, operation and all related functions with respect to the facility.
Anendment No. 2 to CPPR-87 was issued on December 1,1982, to reflect the Commis-sion's aporoval of the merger of Wolverine and Northern's interests in the Femi-2 facility into a new cooperative called Wolverine Power Supply Cooperative, Inc.
(l!PSC).
Subsequently, Wolverine and Northern merged into WPSC on December 31, 1982, i
thereby resulting in The Detroit Edison Company and WPSC as the two parties sharing ownership by division of 80 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Northern's name no longer appears on the Femi-? construction permit.
The Detroit Edison Company requested in an application dated December 6,1983, transnitted by a letter dated December 20, 1983, that the Fermi-2 construction-pemit be amended to delete the reference to the respective percentage ownership shares between The Detroit Edison Company and WPSC, in order to limit the finan-cial cbligation of WPSC for the costs of construction.
A draft of the new ownership arrangement dated December 9,1983, for the Femi-2 fecility was attached to the amendment application.
Subsequently, Detroit Edison submitted a later revision, dated December 16, 1983, of the proposed amendment to the Participation Agreement (Amendment No. 5) between Detroit Edison and and WPSC.
There was no substantive differences between these two drafts.

t Evaluation A draft copy of the Fifth Amendment to the Participation Agreenent between The Detroit Edison Company and WPSC, was. attached to the amendment application. This Fifth Arendment specifies in detail, the formula for calculating the percentaae of each party's capital investnent in Ferni-2 which determines among other things, the percentage of each party's energy entitlement as well as responsibility for operatino costs and nuclear fuel expenses.
The future ownership interests will also be determined by the terms of this amended Participation Agreement.
These changes in the respective ownership shares of the two parties, Detroit Edison and
!!PSC, are anticipated to be relatively minor and Detroit Edison will, therefore, continue to hold the majority share in the Ferni-2 facility.
Furthermore, Detroit Edison continues to retain responsibility for licensing, desion, procurement, construction, operation and all related functions with respect to the facility.
Conclusions Our review of the request for the deletion of the respective percentage ownership shares of the two co-cwners of the Fermi-2 facility (i.e., The Detroit Edison Company and !!PSC) has resulted in the conclusion that the activities authorized by this amentrent to the Construction Permit would not involve a significant hazards consideration inasmuch as it involves no increase in the probability of an accident, no increase in the consequences of an accident, nor a decrease in safety nargins.
Since the deletion of the reference to the percentage ownership shares in accordance with the proposed amendnent to the Participation Agreement between Cetroit Edison and WPSC will not result in any significant divestiture of ownership nor any change in responsibility, we conclude that the deferral to a later date of a determination of the precise amount of the respective cwnership shares between the two parties is acceptable. We conclude, therefore, that the activities authorized by this amendment would not constitute a risk to the health and safety of the public.
I!e conclude that the activities authorized by thir, snendment will not be ininical to the common defense and security.
r
t i
In addition, since the amendment reflects only a change in ownership share designation and no change in authorized construction or construction activities, 4
we have concluded that the amendment involves activities which are insignificant t
from the standpoint of environmental impact and that, pursuant to 10 CFR Section i
51.5(d)(4), an environmental impact statement, or a negative declaration and an environmental impact appraisal, need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
