Dear Sir or Madam:

On June 10, 2014, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) requested the NRC to issue an Order approving the transfers of control of the Facility Operating Licenses for River Bend Station Unit 1 (RBS) and Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station (Waterford) and conforming license amendments (Reference 1). The NRC approved this transfer in letter dated August 14, 2015 (Reference 2). Reference 3 notified the NRC that all required regulatory approvals had been obtained and the transaction date would be October 1, 2015. In accordance with Reference 2, NRC license NPF-38 for Waterford 3 was transferred from Entergy Louisiana, LLC to a new company of the same name, Entergy Louisiana, LLC. Entergy Operations, Inc. (EOI) remains the licensed operator of the station.
