July 14, October 26, and November 30, 1998, Toledo Edison Company, Centerior Service Company, anc. The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (the licensees), requested approval of the transfer of operating authority under Facility Operating License No. NPF-3 for the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1, to a new company, FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC), and issuance of a conforming amendment, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80 and 50.90. By Order Approving the Transfer of Operating Authority to a New Operating Company, issued on December 1,1998, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) consented to the transfer of the license to FENOC with respect to authority to operate the facility on the basis of the findings discussed in the Order. The Order allows FENOC to use and operate Davis-Besse and to possess and use related licensed nuclear materials in accordance with the same conditions and authorizations included in the current operating license. The proposed license amendment would make changes to reflect the transfer of operating authority, including removing Centerior Service Company from the license.
