10CFR50.90 October 14, 1991 Docket Nos: 50-348 50-364 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D. C. 20555 Joseph M. 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.

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 contractual arrangements cosering such transmission services shall embrace rates and chargoe reflecting conventional accounting and ratemaking concepts followed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (or its successor in function) in tecting the reasonableness of rates and charges for transmission 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 { power-supply services as are reasonably available from its system. (5) Alabama Power Company shall enter into appropriate l contractual arrangements amending the 1972 Interconnection Agreement as last amended to provide for a. reserve sharing arrangement between Alabama Power Company and AEC under which Alabama Power Company will provide reserve generating capacity in accordance with practices applicable to its responsibility to 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 I Company System under its minimum reserve criterion then in effect. Alabama Power Company shall I provide to AEC such data as needed from time to time to demonstrate the basis for the need for such minimum reserve level. Farley - Unit 1
i (6) Alabama Power Company shall refrain from taking any i steps, _ including but not limited to the adoption of restrictive provisions in rate filings or negotiated contracts for the sale of wholesale power, that serve to prevent any entity or group of entities engaged in-the retail sale of firm electric power from fulfilling all or part of their bulk power requirements through self-generation or through purchases from some other source other than Alabama Power Company. Alabama Power Company shall !
.further, upon request and subject to reasonable terms and conditions, sell partial requirements power to any such entity. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as preventing applicant from taking reasonable steps, in accord with general practice in-the industry, to ensure that the reliability of its system is not endangered by any action called for herein.

- in generating facilities, to delivery points of Alabama Power Company designated by the distribution system.
Such wheeling services shall be available with respect to any unused capacity on the transmission lines of Alabama Power Company, the use of which will not jeopardize Alabama Power Company's system. The contractual arrangements covering such wheeling services shall be determined in accordance with the principles set forth in Condition (3) herein.

The price to be paid by AEC for i ua2 O
i 8 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 price shall be / sufficient to fairly reimburse Alabama Power / l Company for the proportionate share of its total costs related to the Units 1 and 2 including, but not limited to, all costs of construction, [ installation, ownership and licensing, as of a / date, to be agreed to by the two parties, which / fairly accommodates both their respective interests. 'The offer by Alabama Power Company to L /4 I sell an undivided ownership interest in Units 1 and ' / 2 may be conditioned, at Alabama Power Company's l 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.
