Entergy Operations, Inc Status of Decommissioning Funding Report Refiling River Bend Station Unit 1 Docket No. 50-458 License No. NPF-47 Arkansas Nuclear One Units 1 & 2 Docket Nos. 50-313 & 50-368 License Nos.

Dear Sir or Madam:
On behalf of the captioned reactor licensees, Entergy Operations, Inc. (uEO1"), is withdrawing our submittal dated March 31, 2005 (our letter CNRO 2005-00022) and resubmitting documentation in accordance with the biennial reporting requirements contained in 10 CFR Section 50.75(f)(1) in a more simplified format. In accordance with these requirements, EOI provides reports on the status of its decommissioning funding at least once every two years.
Since EOI's last biennial report, the Louisiana Public Service Commission has ordered that the decommissioning collections for River Bend be based on an assumption that the operating license and the useful life of River Bend will be extended. This results in a collection rate of zero dollars per year for decommissioning for the Louisiana regulated share of River Bend. As EOI noted in its last biennial report, the Arkansas Public Service Commission took a similar action for the Arkansas Nuclear One plant.
This submittal contains no new commitments.
