Dear Sir or Madam:

Entergy Operations, Inc (Entergy) submitted the biennial report of decommissioning funding status in Reference 1. NRC requested follow up telephone conference calls in References 2 and 3 regarding the decommissioning funding status for the subject plants. The conference call was held on June 29, 2009, and this letter confirms the agreed upon schedule for Entergy to submit to NRC the plans for addressing the current funding status.

NRC proposed a 30-day response for the submittal; however, Entergy stated that additional time is needed for the corporate financial governance processes applicable to the funding amounts in question. Therefore, NRC and Entergy agreed to a 45-day response from the date of the conference call, which is a due date of August 13, 2009.
