Specifically, LS and DPC requested that the NRC consent to the transfer of LS's NRC-licensed possession, maintenance, and decommissioning authorities back to DPC upon the completion of , decommissioning activities at the LACBWR site. LS and DPC also requested approval of a conforming amendment to the license pursuant to 10 CF,R. 50.80 and 10 CFR 50.90. Upon completion of its review, the NRC issued an Order providing consent of the proposed license transfer, subject to the condition described in the order, and approval of the conforming license amendment (Enclosure 1 to Reference 3). The Order states, in part, that should the proposed direct license transfer not be completed within one year of the Order's date of issuance, the Order shall become null and void; provided, however, that upon written application and for good cause shown, such date may be exMnded by order. By letter dated June 24, 2020 (Reference 4), LS submitted a request for an extension of the effectiveness of the NRC Order dated September 24, 2019. The NRC issued an Order approving the extension of the effectiveness of the Order from September 24, 2020 to March 24, 2021 (Enclosure to Reference 5). By letter dated February 2, 2021 (Reference 6), LS submitted a request for an extension of the effectiveness of the NRC Order dated September 24, 2019. The NRC issued an Order approving the extension of the effectiveness of the Order from March 24, 2021 to September 24, 2021 (Enclosure to Reference 7). By letter dated August 17, 2021 (Reference 8), LS submitted a request for an extension of the effectiveness of the NRC Order dated September 24, 2019. The NRC issued an Order approving the extension of the effectiveness of the Order from September 24, 2021 to September 24, 2022 (Enclosure to Reference 9).

LaCrosseSolutions LC-2022-0021 Page 3 of3 The purpose of this letter is to request that the effectiveness of the order approving the transfer of license and conforming amendment be extended three months to March 24, 2023. The extension would allow sufficient time for the NRC Staff to complete their review of the final status survey reports. There is good cause to extend the existing approval. Responses to requests for additional information regarding Final Status Survey Reports (FSSRs) and their associated Release Records are currently under final review by NRC staff. Based on the status of the NRC review, it is anticipated that additional time will be needed to finalize the Safety Evaluation Report and approve the revised FSSRs. In addition, it provides the NRC staff with additional time to make a final determination regarding the release of land for unrestricted use. In accordance with 10 CFR S0.91(b)(l), a copy of this submittal has been sent to the State of Wisconsin. There are no regulatory commitments made in this submittal.
