NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-263, 50-282, 50-306 and 72-10]
Northern States Power Company; Notice of Transfer of Control of
License
Notice is hereby given that the United States Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (Commission) is considering approval under 10 CFR 50.80 and
10 CFR 72.50 of the transfer of control of the licenses for the
Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, the Prairie Island Units 1 and 2
Nuclear Generating Plants, and the Prairie Island Independent Spent
Fuel Storage Installation facility, held by Northern States Power
Company (NSP). Following a series of transactions, NSP will become a
wholly owned subsidiary of Wisconsin Energy Corporation (WEC), the
parent company of Wisconsin Electric Power Company (WEPCO). WEC will be
renamed Primergy Corporation (Primergy) and will own two operating
utility subsidiaries: (1) Northern States Power Company, which will be
reincorporated in Wisconsin and merged with a newly formed WEC/Primergy
subsidiary, and (2) WEPCO, which will be named Wisconsin Energy
Company. The merged NSP will continue to operate the same facilities
above in the same locations.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.80 and 10 CFR 72.50 the Commission may
approve the transfer of control of a license, after notice to
interested persons, upon the Commission's determination that the holder
of the license following the transfer of control is qualified to hold
the license and the transfer of the control is otherwise consistent
with applicable provisions of law, regulations, and orders of the
Commission.
For further details with respect to this action, see the October
20, 1995, submittal from NSP, which is available for public inspection
at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L
Street, NW, Washington, DC, and at the local public document room
located at the Minneapolis Public Library, Technology and Science
Department, 300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 9th day of May 1996.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Kevin A. Connaughton,
Acting Director, Project Directorate III-1, Division of Reactor
