We report on numerical studies of the energy spectrum and the localization properties in the double-layer quantum Hall system at $\nu = 1$. The Coulomb interaction is treated by the Hartree-Fock approximation, and the localization properties in the presence of disorder are studied by evaluating participation ratios for the Hartree-Fock eigenfunctions. We show that the extended states seem to exist only near each center of the two subbands split by the exchange-enhanced energy gap. It is also shown that the self-consistent orbitals whose energies are close to the Fermi energy appear to become extended together with the reduction in the energy gap as the layer separation increases. The collapse of the energy gap expected from our results is consistent with the incompressible-compressible transition observed in recent experiments, and the change of the localization properties near the Fermi energy can explain the disappearance of the quantum Hall effect for large layer separations very well.
