' SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT: NAME CHANGE AMENDMENT OF MATERIALS LICENSE FOR THE WESTINGHOUSE COMMERCIAL FUEL FABRICATION FACILITY BACKGROUND By letter dated December 22,1997, " Westinghouse Electric Company, a division of CBS Corporation," submitted an application for a license amendment for the Westinghouse Commercial Fuel Fabrication Facility to change the name of the Licensee from " Westinghouse Electric Corporation" to " Westinghouse Electric Company, a division of CBS Corporation."

. Corporation.

There is no change in the management, organization, location, facilities, equipment, or procedures related to, or personnel responsible for, the licensed activities. All existing commitments, obligations and representations remain in effect.

In subsequent discussions, on June 4,1998, between Mr. Bart Cowan, outside counsel for the Westinghouse division, and Mr. Steven R. Hom, of the NRC Office of the General Counsel, it was agreed that the Licensees's name on the license should be changed to "CBS Cofix,iet;on, acting through its Westinghouse Electric Company division" with respect to its then pending applicahons for license amendments to reflect its corporate change.
