01-28185. Amergen Vermont, LLC; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Approval of Direct and Indirect License Transfers

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has permitted the withdrawal by AmerGen Vermont, LLC of its August 14, 2000, application for approval of certain proposed direct and indirect transfers of Facility Operating License No. DPR-28 for the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station, located in Windham County, Vermont.

The approval of the proposed direct and indirect license transfers would have allowed the transfer of Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station under several scenarios from Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation to AmerGen Vermont, LLC. The transfer of the facility to AmerGen Vermont, LLC will no longer occur.

The Commission had previously issued a Notice of Consideration of Approval of Proposed Direct and Indirect License Transfers published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2000 (65 FR 53037). However, by letter dated August 27, 2001, the applicant withdrew the request for approval.

For further details with respect to this action, see the license transfer application dated August 14, 2000, and the applicant's letter dated August 27, 2001, which withdrew the application.
