.t OUESTION 2.
What are the requirements for transfer of an operating license? Who would submit an application for transfer? Would both LILCO and LIPA submit a license application?
ANSWER The transaction involved in the postulated Shoreham transfer is not limited to transfer of control or license rights under 10 CFR 50.80, but involves the complete transfer cf ownership and physical possession of the facility from LILCO to LIPA. The regulations de not explicitly address the standards for authorizing the transfer of actual possession of a facility.
However, the principal requirement would be that there be a recipient licensed by NRC to possess the facility and that the process of transfer and possession provides reasonable on assurance of adequate protection for public health and safety and common defense and security.
LILCO would be requivad to submit an application to transfer and LIPA would be required to submit an application to possess (and to decommission or otherwise use) the facility.
It may be that a combined application could be submitted or that one application may incorporate by reference substantial portions of the information contained in the other. 10 CFR 50.31 and 50.32.
