NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-133, 50-275 and 50-323]
Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit
3; Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2
Notice is hereby given that the United States Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is considering approval under 10 CFR 50.80
of the proposed corporate restructuring of Pacific Gas and Electric
(PG&E), the licensee for Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 and Diablo
Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. By letter dated November 1,
1995, PG&E informed the Commission that a corporate restructuring of
PG&E has been proposed that will result in the creation of a holding
company under the name PG&E Parent Co., Inc. (``Parent Company'') of
which PG&E would become a wholly-owned subsidiary. PG&E will remain
holder of its licenses for Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 and Diablo
Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2. Under the restructuring, the
holders of PG&E common stock will become the holders of common stock of
the holding company on a share-by-share basis. After the restructuring,
PG&E will continue to be a public utility providing the same utility
services as it did immediately prior to the reorganization. According
to the proposed plan, there will be no significant change in ownership,
management, or sources of funds for operation, maintenance, or
decommissioning of the Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 and Diablo
Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2 due to the corporate
restructuring.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80, the Commission may approve the transfer
of control of a license after notice to interested persons. Such
approval is contingent upon the Commission's determination that the
holder of the license following the transfer is qualified to have
control of the license and that the transfer of such control is
otherwise consistent with applicable provisions of law, regulations,
and orders of the Commission.
For further details with respect to this proposed action, see the
licensee's letter dated November 1, 1995, with the following
attachments: letter dated October 20, 1995, application filed before
the Public Utilities Commission of the State of California from Harry
W. Long, Jr. and Pilar Garcia, attorneys for Pacific Gas and Electric
Company, and Testimony of Kent M. Harvey (Exhibit PG&E-1) and Keith O.
Fukui (Exhibit PG&E-2). These documents are available for public
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman
Building, 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington DC, and at the local public
document rooms located at Humboldt County Library, 1313 3rd Street,
Eureka, California 95501 and at the California Polytechnic State
University, Robert E. Kennedy Library, Government Documents and Maps
Department, San Luis Obispo, California 93407.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 29th day of March 1996.
