1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated December 21, 2012 (A gencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML13002A037), Detroit Edison Company (the licensee), requested changes to the operating license for Fermi 1. The proposed changes would revise
the Fermi 1 license to change the name from "Detr oit Edison" to "DTE Electric Company." The name change is purely administrative in nature.
Detroit Edison is a wholly owned subsidiary of DTE Energy Company. This name change is part of a set of name changes of DTE Energy Subsidiaries to conform their names to the "DTE" brand name. This amendment does not
involve a transfer of control over or of an interest in the license for Fermi 1.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.80, "Transfer of Licenses," no license or contr ol 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 involv e the transfer of any control over the Fermi 1 license to another entity.
Standard NRC guidance on this subject is contained in "Standard Review Plan on Power
Reactor Licensee Financial Qualifications and Decommissioning Funding Assurance,"
NUREG-1577, Revision 1, which states, "NRC regulations in 10 CFR 50.80 require Commission
review of and written consent to direct as well as indirect transfers of operating licenses, including licenses for nuclear power plants owned or operated by electric utilities. When the
transfer involves a change in the licensee listed on the NRC license, the applicant must also
apply for a license amendment under Section 50.90." It further states, "A name change of a
licensee that does not involve license transfer considerations under Section 50.80 will be
effected by a license amendment iss ued administratively under Section 50.90."
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
In the application, the licensee states:
On December 21, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Detroit Edison Company
approved a change in the name of the cor poration from the "The Detroit Edison Company" to "DTE Electric Company" to take effect as of January 1, 2013. DTE
Energy, the parent company and s ole shareholder, approved the name change simultaneously therewith. Upon approv al 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.
It further states:
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 1
Operating License or any technical content of the Fermi 1 Technical
Specifications requirements; nor does it have any programmatic effect on the
Detroit Edison Operational Quality Assurance Program for Fermi 1. The change
will have no impact on the design, function or operation of any plant structure, system or component, either te chnically or administratively.
In view of the preceding statements, the NRC staff believes that the proposed
amendments are administrative in nature and no substantive changes to the licensee's arrangements or ability to own or decommission Fermi 1 will result from amending the
licenses to reflect the name change. No transfer of the license is being proposed in the
application. The NRC staff therefore concludes that the amendment to the operating
license to reflect the corporate name change of the licensee, from "Detroit Edison
Company" to "DTE Electric Company," is acceptable.
4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Michigan State official was notified of the
proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The staff has determined that the amendment inv olves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that
there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a propos ed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding
(78 FR 16879; dated March 19, 2013). Accor dingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)(iii). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environm ental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there
is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by
operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that 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 defens e and security or to the health and safety of the public.
