SUBJECT:

TEMPORARY EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS OF 10 CFR 50.75:

REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING FOR DECOMISSIONING PLANNING - SEABROOK STATION, UNIT 1 (TAC NO. M95476)

Dear Mr. Feigenbaum:

By letter dated May 8,1996, North Atlar. tic Energy Service Corporation (North Atlantic) requested approval for the indirect transfer of control of Great Bay Power Corporation's (Great Bay) interest in the Seabrock Station, Unit 1. The indirect transfer would result from a proposed corporate restructuring of l Great Bay that would result in the creation of_ a holdi19 company named Great i Bay Holdings Corporation of which Great Bay would bec',me a wholly-owned '

subsidiary. The staff has not completed action on that request because it

. appears that Great Bay does not meet the definition of ciectric utfif ty as

] provided in 10 CFR 50.2. As a non-electric utility, 'ireat Bay must meet the requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(e)(2) for additional assurance for I- decommissioning funding. Currently, Great Bay does not meet these requirements.

It is our understanding that the proposed holding company, if approved, could

! seek business opportunities in electricity markets that Great Bay is 4

prohibited from entering because of its status as an exempt wholesale generator. Thus, delaying action on Great Bay's request limits Great Bay's financial opportunities, which ultimately could have an adverse effect on

protecting public health and safety. Therefore, so that the staff may act upon the May 8, 1996, request without further delay, the enclosed temporary exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.75(e)(2) has been issued. The exemption is effective for a period of 6 months from the date of issue. We

, find that granting the temporary Exemption from the requirement 5 of 10 CFR 50.75(e)(2) is authorized by law, will not present an  : risk to public health and safety, is consistent with the common defena and security, and meets the special circumstances described in 10 CFR 50.12.
