II. Discussion
On January 23, 2020, the NRC solicited comments on an application
for direct and indirect transfers of licenses, dated November 21, 2019
(ADAMS Accession No. ML19326B953). The application was filed by Entergy
Nuclear Operations, Inc. (ENOI), on behalf of itself; Entergy Nuclear
Indian Point 2, LLC; Entergy Nuclear Indian Point 3, LLC; Holtec
International; and Holtec Decommissioning International, LLC (HDI)
(collectively, the applicants). The application is seeking NRC approval
of the transfer of control of Provisional Operating License No. DPR-5
and Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-26 and DPR-64 for
Indian Point Nuclear Generating, Unit Nos. 1, 2, and 3, respectively,
as well as the general license for the Indian Point Energy Center
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (collectively, the
licenses). Specifically, the application requests that the NRC consent
to (1) the transfer of control of the licenses to Holtec subsidiaries
to be known as Holtec Indian Point 2, LLC and Holtec Indian Point 3,
LLC and (2) the transfer of ENOI's operating authority to HDI. The NRC
is also considering amending the licenses for administrative purposes
to reflect the proposed transfer. The public comment period on this
action was originally scheduled to close on February 24, 2020. The NRC
has decided to extend the public comment period until March 25, 2020,
to allow

more time for members of the public to develop and submit their
comments. The period to request a hearing and petition for leave to
intervene is not being extended.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day of February, 2020.
