NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-410]


Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation; Nine Mile Point Nuclear 
Station, Unit No. 2; Notice of Withdrawal of Application for Approval 
of Indirect Transfer of Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) was 
considering the issuance of an order under 10 CFR 50.80 approving the 
indirect transfer of Facility Operating License No. NPF-69 for Nine 
Mile Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 (NMP-2), to the extent held by 
Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (RG&E). The indirect transfer 
would have resulted from the planned acquisition of RG&E's parent 
company, RGS Energy Group, Inc. (RGS), by Energy East Corporation 
(Energy East).
    On November 7, 2001, the NMP-2 license, as held by RG&E and others, 
was transferred to Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, as authorized 
by an NRC Order dated June 22, 2001, as modified by a Supplemental 
Order dated October 30, 2001. By letter dated November 14, 2001, RG&E 
withdrew its request for NRC approval of the indirect transfer of the 
NMP-2 license since RG&E no longer holds the NMP-2 license. The NRC has 
permitted the withdrawal.
    The Commission previously published a Notice of Consideration of 
Approval of Application Regarding Proposed Merger and Opportunity for a 
Hearing (66 FR 42687, dated August 14, 2001). No hearing requests or 
written comments were filed.
    For further details with respect to this withdrawal, see RG&E's 
letter dated June 22, and November 14, 2001, available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room (PDR), at One White 
Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland. 
Publicly available records will be accessible electronically from the 
Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Public 
Electronic Reading Room on the internet at the NRC Web site (http://www.nrc.gov/ADAMS/index.htm). If you do not have access to ADAMS or if

the NRC PDR reference staff at 1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737 or by e-
mail to [email protected].

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of November 2001.
