ORDER APPROVING APPLICATION REGARDING RESTRUCTURING OF ROCHESTER GAS AND ELECTRIC CORPORATION BY ESTABLISHMENT OF A HOLDING COMPANY AFFECTING LICENSE NO. DPR-18, R. E. GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT '
l.
Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (RG&E and licensee) is licensed by the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) to possess, maintain, and operate the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant (Ginna or the facility), under Facility Operating License No. I DPR-18, issued by the Commission on December 10,1984. RG&E fully owns Ginna. The
- facility is located in Wayne County, New York. f1)$
/
11.
- RG&E submitted an application dated July 31,1998, as supplemented August 18, 1998, and September 14,1998, for consent by the Commission, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, to l
' the extent a proposed corporate restructuring action would result in the indirect transfer of the operating license for the facility. Under the proposed restructuring, RG&E would establish a new holding company and become a subsidiary of the new holding company in accordance with a Setticment Agreement reached with the New York Public Service Commission (PSC
~
i 9901070305 98 F.14 l PDR ADOCK 05000244 l P PM
2-Case Nos. 96-E-0989), dated October 23,1997. Unregulated subsidiaries of RG&E would also become subsidiaries of the new holding company.
According to the application, essentially each share of RG&E's common stock would be exchanged for one share of common stock of the holding company such that the holding company would own the outstanding common stock of RG&E. Under this restructuring, RG&E would continue to be an " electric utility" as defined in 10 CFR 50.2 engaged in the
)
transmission, distribution and generation of electricity. RG&E would continue to be the direct owner of Ginna and would continue to operate Ginna. No direct transfer of the operating license would result from the proposed restructuring. The transaction would not involve any change in the responsibility for nuclear operations within RG&E. Officer responsibilities at the holding company level would be primarily administrative and financial in nature and would not involve operational matters related to Ginna. No RG&E nuclear management positions would be changed as a result of the corporate restructuring.
A Notice of Consideration of Approval of Application Regarding Proposed Corporate Restructuring was published in the Federal Reaister on October 26,1998 (63 FR 57141), and an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact was published in the Federal Reaister on October 26,1998 (63 FR 57143).
Under 10 CFR 50.80, no license shall be transferred, directly or indirectly, through transfer of control of the license, unless the Commission shall give its consent in writing. Upon review of the information submitted in the application of July 31,1998, as supplemented August 18,1998, and September 14,1998, the NRC staff has determined that the restructuring of RG&E by establishment of a holding company will not affect the qualifications of RG&E as the holder of the license for Ginna, and that the transfer of control of the license, to the extent effected by the proposed res'.ructuring, is otherwise consistent with applicable j
4 provisions of law, regulations, and orders issued by the Commission, subject to the conditions set forth herein. These findings are supported by a safety evaluation dated December 14, :
l~
1998.
Ill.
i Accordingly, pursuant to Sections 161b,1611 161o, and 184 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended,42 USC $5 2201(b),2201(i),2201(o), and 2234, and 10 CFR 50.80, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Commission approves the application regarding the proposed
! restructuring of RG&E by the establishment of a holding company, subject to the following: (1)
RG&E shall provide the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation a copy of any application, at the time it is filed, to transfer (excluding grants of security interests or liens) from RG&E to its proposed parent, or to any other affiliated company, facilities for the production, transmission, or distribution of electric energy having a depreciated book value exceeding 10 percent (10%) of RG&E's consolidated net utility plant, as recorded on RG&E's books of l account; and (2) should the restructuring of RG&E as described herein, not be completed by December 14,1999, this Order shall become null and void, provided, however, on application and for good cause shown, such date may be extended.
This Order is effective upon issuance.
