This is an unofficial transcript of a meeting of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission on June 25, 2002 in the Commission's office at One White Flint North, Rockville, Maryland. The meeting was open to public attendance and observation. This transcript has not been reviewed, corrected or edited, and it may contain inaccuracies.

The transcript is intended solely for general information purposes. As provided by 10 CFR 9.103, it is not part of the formal or informal record of decision of the matters discussed. Expressions of opinion in this transcript do not necessarily reflect final determination or beliefs. No pleading or other paper may be filed with the Commission in any proceeding as the result of, or addressed to, any statement or argument contained herein, except as the Commission may authorize.

CHAIRMAN MESERVE: Good afternoon. This is an affirmation session and I understand we have one item. Madame Secretary, you may proceed.

MS. VIETTI-COOK: The Commission is being asked to act on a Memorandum and Order responding to multiple petitions to intervene and requests to hold in abeyance or dismiss the proceeding in the license transfer application submitted by Pacific Gas & Electric Co. The Commission has voted to approve a Memorandum and Order which denies the intervention petitions of the California Public Utilities Commission, the County of San Luis Obispo, and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of PG&E, but grants California Public Utilities Commission and the the County of San Luis Obispo participant status in this proceeding if a hearing is granted on the petition of any other petitioner. The Memorandum and Order also denies the petitioners' procedural motions and reserves ruling on the remaining two antitrust-based petitions filed by other petitioners. Would you please affirm your votes?

CHAIRMAN MESERVE: Aye.

COMMISSIONER DICUS: Aye.

COMMISSIONER DIAZ: Aye.

COMMISSIONER MCGAFFIGAN: Aye.

COMMISSIONER MERRIFIELD: Aye.

MS. VIETTI-COOK: That's all I have.

CHAIRMAN MESERVE: With that, we're adjourned. Thank you.
