Farley Nuclear Plant Revisions to License Amendments Application to Allow Southern Nuclear Oogratina Company To Become the Licensed Operator Gentlemen: On May 6,1991, Alabama Power Company cubmitted an application for an amendment of Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-2 and NPF-8 which would authorize Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (Southern Nuclear) to become the licensed operator and have exclusive responsibility and control over the physical construction, operation, and maintenance of Joseph M. Farley Nuclear. Plant, Units 1 and 2. By letter of June 20, 1991, Alabama Power Com)any notified the NRC of an organizational change at Southern Nuclear w1ich affected the application. In addition, at the request of the NRC, by letter of September 27,199', Alabama Power Company proposed a revision to the application to provide for a new process for the NRC to issue the amendment. As a result of an NRC telephone request on October 10, 1991, Alabama Power Company is now proposing minor editorial and formatting changes to the Facility Operating Licenses Nos. NPF-2 and HPF-8. The most significant of these changes was to substitute either " Southern Nuclear" or " Southern Nuclear and Alabama Power Company" for those cases where the term

       " licensee" or " licensees" was used.

These changes, which are provided in the attachments, are not intended to and do not have any impact on the application or the significant hazards considerttion evaluation provided in the May 6,1991 submittal.

(2) Defore engaging in an operational activity not evaluated by the Commission, Southern Nuclotr will l e prepara and record an environmental evaluation of such activity. When the evaluation indicates that such activity may result in a significant adverse environmental impact that was not ovaluated, or that is significantly greater than evaluated in the Final Environmental Statement, Southern Nuclear I shall provide a written evaluation of such activities and obtain prior approval of the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Rogulation for the activities. F. Alabama Power Company shall moet the following antitrust conditions: (1) Alabama Power Company shall recognize and accord to Alabama Electric Cooperative (AEC) the status of a competing electric utility in contral and southern Alabama. (2) Alabama Power Company shall offer to sell to AEC nn l undivided ownership interest in Units 1 and 2 of the Parley Nuclear Plant. The percentage of ownership interest to be so offered shall be an amount based on the relative sizes of the respectivo peak loads of ACC and the Alabama Power Company (excluding from the Alabama Power Company's l peak load that amount imposed by members of AEC upon the electric system of Alabama Power Company) l occurring in 1976. The price to be paid by AEC for its proportionate share of Units 1 and 2, determined in accordance with the foregoing formula, will be established by the parties through good faith negotiations. The prico shall be s 2f ficient to fairly reimburse Alabama Power Campany for the proportionate share of its total costs related to the Units 1 and 2 including, but not limited to, all costs of construction,

T(1) Alabama Power Company shall recognize and accord' to l JAlabama Electric Cooperative-(AEC) the status of a competing electric utility in central and southern Alabama. L(2) Alabama Power Company shall offer to sell to AEC an 1 undivided ownership interest in Units 1 and 2-of the Farley Nuclear. Plant. The percentage of ownership interest to be so offered shall be an amount based on the relative sizes of theLrespective peak loads of AEC and' Alabama Power Company (excludlng from the Alabama Power Company's peak load that amount imposed by members of AEC-upon the electric system of occurring in 1976.

ownership and licensing, as of a cate, to be agreed to by the two parties, which fairly accommodates both their respective interests. The offer by Alabama Power Company to sell an undivided ownership interest in Units 1 and 2 may be conditioned, at Alabama Power Company's option, on the-agreement by AEC to waive any right of partition of the Farley Plant and to avoid interference in the day-to-day operation of the plant. (3) Alabama Power Company will provide, under contractual arrangements between Alabama Power Company and AEC, transmission services via its electric system (a) fror AEl's electric system to AEC's off-system members; and (b) to AEC's electric system from electric systems other than Alabama Power Company's, l and from AEC's electric system to electric systems other than Alabama Power Company's. The contractual l arrangements covering such transmission services shall embrace rates and charges reflecting conventional accounting and ratemaking concepts followed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (or its successo1 in function) in testing the reasonableness of rates and charges for transmi7 sion services. Such contractual arrangements shall contain provisions protecting Alabama Power Company [ against economic detriment resulting from transmission line or transmission losses associated therewith. (4) Alabama Power Company shall furnish such other bulk I power supply services as are reasonably available from its system. (5) Alabama Power Company shall enter into appropriate I contractual arrangements amending the 1972 Interconnection Agreement as last amended to provide for a reserve sharing arrangement between Alabama Power Cor.psny and AEC under which Alabama Power Company wil; provide reserve generating capacity in accords e with practices applicable to its responsibility t the operating companies of the Southern Company System. AEC shall maintain a minimum level expressed as a percentage of coincident peak one-hour kilowatt load equal to the percent reserve level similarly expressed for Alabama Power Company as determined by the Southern 1 Company System under its minimum reserve criterion then in effect.
