by hand U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Docket Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555 I Re: Application of Montaup Electric Company and New England Power Company for Transfer of {

Licenses and Ownershio Interests I I

Dear Sirs:

1 Enclosed please find an original and one copy of a request for approval of certain i indirect and direct transfers of the license and ownership interests of Montaup Electric Company

("Montaup") with respect to the nuclear facilities described below.

Approval is being sought for the transfer of Montaup's minority ownership interests in the licenses for Millstone Unit No. 3 and Seabrook Unit No.1, as well as Montaup's ownership interest as a minority shareholder in the four Yankee Companies (Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation, Yankee Atomic Electric Company, Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company, and Connecticut Yankee Power Company), as a result of the proposed merger of the parent company of Montaup, Eastern Utilities Associates ("EUA"), with New England Electric System

("NEES"), the parent company of New England Power Company ("NEP"). Approval is sought for the following: (i) the indirect transfer of control from EUA to NEES resulting from the merger; (ii) the indirect transfer of control resulting from a proposed merger of NEES with The National Grid Group plc, which is subject to a separate application currently pending before the Commission; and (iii) a direct transfer of the license and ownership interests from Montaup to NEP that will result from the consolidation of Montaup into NEP in connection with the merger.

O

' Approval is also sought, if required, for the restructuring of EUA's family of companies that will take place independent of and prior to the merger. That restructuring will make EUA, which currently owns Montaup through another wholly mmed subsidiary, the direct parent company of Montaup.
