.The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an order under 10 CFR 50.80 approving the transfer of Facility Operating License No. NFF-62 for the Clinton Power Station (CPS) currently held by lilinois Power Company (IP, or thes licensee). The transfer would be to AmerGen Energy Company, LL C (AmerGen). The Commission is also considering amending the license for administrative purposes to reflect the
, proposed transfer.
Under the proposed transfer, AmerGen would be authorized to possess, use, and operate CPS under essentially the same conditions and authorizations included in the existing license. In addition, no physical changes will be made to CPS as a result of the proposed l l
transfer, and there will be no significant changes in the day-to-day operations of CPS. Antitrust l l
conditions of the CPS license are proposed to be deleted because, among other things, they apply to IP which will no longer be the licensee.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, no heense, or any nght thereunder, shall be transferred,
' directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of the license, unless the Comrnission shall give i
- its consent in writing. The Commission will approve an application for the transfer of a license, if 9908230076 990812.

reflected in 10 CFR 2.1315, no public comments with respect to significant hazards considerations are being solicited, notwithstanding the general comment procedures contained in 10 CFR 50.91.
