Enclosure 1 to NRC-12-0083 Fermi 2 NRC Docket No. 50-341 Operating License No. NPF-43 License Amendment Request to Change Name of Licensee from The Detroit Edison Company to DTE Electric Company Evaluation of Proposed License Amendment NRC- 12-0083 Page 1 Evaluation of the Proposed License Amendment 1.0 Summary Description This evaluation supports a request to amend the operating license of Fermi 2. The proposed amendment will revise the license to reflect the change in the name of "The Detroit Edison Company" (Detroit Edison), the owner and operator of the station, to "DTE Electric Company."

2.0 Detailed Description Detroit Edison is the sole owner and sole NRC licensee of Fermi 2. DTE Energy Company (DTE Energy), the corporate parent and owner of 100% of the common stock of Detroit Edison, proposes to change the names of its subsidiaries, including Detroit Edison, to orient their names toward the "DTE" brand label. Thus Detroit Edison would become "DTE Electric".

On December 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of The Detroit Edison Company approved a change in the name of the corporation from "The Detroit Edison Company" to "DTE Electric Company" to take effect as of January 1, 2013. DTE Energy, the parent company and sole shareholder, approved the name change simultaneously therewith. Upon approval of the name change, Detroit Edison filed the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation with the Bureau of Commercial Services at the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, in order to conduct business under the new name. The name change is expected to be effective January 1, 2013. The corporate name is being changed to make the name of Detroit Edison, like those of other DTE Energy subsidiaries, more consistent with the "DTE" name branding of the parent company.

There would not be any other change to Detroit Edison's Articles of Incorporation, nor any form of corporate reorganization. As a result, the license for Fermi 2 will need to be amended solely to reflect the change of the licensee's name from "The Detroit Edison Company" to "DTE Electric Company". No other changes are necessary.

The effect of this proposed change for the Fermi 2 license and Technical Specifications is shown on the attached markups in Enclosure 2.

3.0 Technical Evaluation The proposed amendment is considered purely administrative in nature. The Fermi 2 owner-licensee entity will remain the sole owner-licensee of Fermi 2. Only its name will change. No modification will be made to corporate form, and it will retain all the capabilities, rights and obligations of Detroit Edison, including providing decommissioning funding assurance in compliance with 10 CFR 50.75. There will be no ownership or management changes as a result of the name change. The proposed change does not affect the technical or financial qualifications of Detroit Edison, or alter any technical content of the Fermi 2 Operating License or any technical content of the Fermi 2 Technical Specifications requirements; nor NRC-12-0083 Page 2 does it have any programmatic effect on the Detroit Edison Operational Quality Assurance Program for Fermi 2. The change will have no impact on the design, function or operation of any plant structure, system or component, either technically or administratively.

4.0 Regulatory Evaluation Detroit Edison requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review and approval of an amendment to change the name of the owner-licensee of Fermi 2 from "The Detroit Edison Company" to "DTE Electric Company."

4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements Under 10 CFR 50.80, Transfer of Licenses, no license or control of a license for a utilization facility may be transferred, directly or indirectly, to any entity unless the NRC consents in writing. However, licensee name changes do not, by themselves, constitute license transfers.

The proposed amendment is purely a name change and does not involve the transfer of any control over the Fermi 2 license to another entity.

There is not a transfer of a license or of an interest in a license within the meaning of 10 CFR 50.80. Standard NRC guidance on this subject is contained in the Standard Review Plan on Power Reactor Licensee Financial Qualifications and Decommissioning Funding Assurance (NUREG- 1577, Rev. 1 (1999)) which states, in connection with review of applications for license transfers, that: "The reviewer should treat applications involving changes of ownership, mergers, formation of holding companies, and other restructuring proposals that go beyond corporate name changes or internal reorganizations as potential transfers of licenses, directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of the license, as subject to section 50.80 review, and not merely subject to a section 50.90 license amendment review." ... "(A name change of a licensee that does not involve license transfer considerations under section 50.80 will be effected by a license amendment issued administratively under section 50.90.)"

4.2 Precedent This application is consistent with previous NRC actions in similar circumstances not involving transfers of ownership or control.

In an application approved by the NRC on October 2, 2012 (Reference 1), FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp. filed to change the name of the licensee for the Beaver Valley, Davis-Besse and Perry nuclear plants from "FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation Corp." to "FirstEnergy Nuclear Generation, LLC." The licensee characterized the application as "administrative in nature" and as posing no significant hazards consideration. The Staff agreed and, in a letter dated October 2, 2012, issued a pertinent license amendment with the name change.

NRC-12-0083 Page 3 In an application approved by the NRC (Reference 2), the Texas Utilities Company, owner and licensee of the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, changed its name to TXU Electric Company without any other corporate reorganization or changes in ownership or control. It submitted its application to the NRC under 10 CFR 50.90 alone, stating that its action was purely administrative in nature. TXU noted in its application that it was taking the corporate actions necessary to effectuate the name change the same day as it filed with the NRC, with the name change to take effect within several days thereafter upon filing with the Texas Secretary of State.

The NRC agreed with the TXU analysis, accepted the relative timing of corporate and regulatory actions, and approved the license amendment within four months.

4.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration In accordance with 10 CFR 50.92, Detroit Edison has made a determination that the proposed amendment involves no significant hazards consideration.

1. The proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The proposed amendment changes the name of the owner licensee. The proposed amendment is purely administrative in nature. The functions, powers, resources and management of the owner licensee will not change. Detroit Edison, which will be renamed DTE Electric Company, will remain the licensee of the facility. The proposed changes do not adversely affect accident initiators or precursors, and do not alter the design assumptions, conditions, or configuration of the plant or the manner in which the plant is operated and maintained. The ability of structures, systems, and components to perform their intended safety functions is not altered or prevented by the proposed changes, and the assumptions used in determining the radiological consequences of previously evaluated accidents are not affected.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

2. The proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

The proposed amendment is purely administrative in nature. The functions of the owner licensee will not change. These changes do not involve any physical alteration of the plant (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed), and installed equipment is not being operated in a new or different manner. Thus, no new failure modes are introduced.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

NRC-12-0083 Page 4

3. The proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety.

The proposed amendment is a name change to reflect the new name of the owner licensee. The proposed amendment is purely administrative in nature. The functions of the owner licensee will not change. Detroit Edison, which will be renamed DTE Electric Company, will remain the licensee of the facility, and its functions will not change. The proposed changes do not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system settings, or limiting conditions for operation are determined. There are no changes to setpoints at which protective actions are initiated, and the operability requirements for equipment assumed to operate for accident mitigation are not affected.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above evaluation, Detroit Edison concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c),

and accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified.

4.4 Conclusion In conclusion, based on the considerations discussed above, (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or the health and safety of the public.

5.0 Environmental Considerations Detroit Edison has reviewed the proposed change against the criteria of 10 CFR 51.22 for environmental considerations. The proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration, nor does it significantly change the types or significantly increase the amounts of effluents that may be released offsite. The proposed change does not significantly increase individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposures. Based on the foregoing, Detroit Edison concludes that the proposed change meets the criteria provided in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10) for a categorical exclusion from the requirements for an Environmental Impact Statement or an Environmental Assessment.
