    Pursuant to delegation by the Commission dated December 29, 1972,

039-COL.
Luminant Generation Company LLC, (Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, 
Units 3 and 4), Docket Nos. 52-034-COL & 52-035-COL.

    This proceeding was triggered by the following recent filings that 
were based on the Fukushima Task Force Report: (1) The Center for a 
Sustainable Coast, Georgia Women's Action for New Directions, and 
Southern Alliance for Clean Energy filed a motion to reopen the record 
and admit a new contention in the above-captioned Vogtle case; (2) Gene 
Stilp filed a motion to reopen the record and admit a new contention in 
the above-captioned Bell Bend case; and (3) Public Citizen, the 
Sustainable Energy and Economic Development Coalition, and Lon Burnam 
filed a motion to reopen the record and admit a new contention in the 
above-captioned Comanche Peak case. The contested proceedings in these 
cases had been terminated at the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board 
Panel (ASLBP) level, and jurisdiction over these filings initially lay 
with the Commission. By order dated August 30, 2011, the Commission, 
acting through the Office of the Secretary, referred the pleadings to 
the ASLBP for appropriate action consistent with 10 CFR 2.309 and 
2.326.
