SUBJECT:

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION - WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION FOR THE INDIRECT TRANSFER OF THE FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE (TAC NO. MA5333)

Dear Mr. Antoun:

By application dated February 3,1999, as supplemented May 27,1999, Boston Edison Company sought approval of the indirect transfer of the Facility Operating License for the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (Pilgrim) held by Boston Edison Company. The indirect transfer would have resulted from the planned formation of a new holding company, NSTAR, of which Commonwealth Energy System and BEC Energy, the parent company of Boston Edison Company, are to become wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsequently, by letter dated July 20, 1999, you withdrew the request. You noted that the approval is no longer needed since Boston Edison Company sold its interest in Pilgrim to Entergy Nuclear Generation Company on July 13, 1999, and is no longer the licensee for Pilgrim.

The Commission has filed the enclosed Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Approval of Indirect Transfer of the Facility Operating License for Pilgrim with the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Sincerely, ORIGINAL SIGNED BY:
