Dear Sir or Madam:

By letter dated February 25, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16056A485, the Notice),

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. provided notice on behalf of Entergy Nuclear New York Investment Company I (ENNYIC) regarding a planned conversion of ENNYIC from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company and ENNYICs planned entry into a creditor agreement with Entergy Power BJE, Ltd. (BJE). ENNYIC is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Entergy Corporation and the direct owner of the licensees that respectively own the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant and Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 3. BJE is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Entergy Corporation that is incorporated in the Cayman Islands.

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. is now supplementing the Notice to provide notice of an amendment to the creditor agreement described therein.

In accordance with the Notice, on February 29, 2016, ENNYIC was converted from a Delaware corporation to a Delaware limited liability company1 and on March 2, 2016, BJE entered into a credit agreement to lend funds to ENNYIC and ENNYIC executed a note to repay the borrowed amount.

As stated in the Notice, the credit agreement provides that in the event of default, BJEs creditor interests shall be converted into ten (10) percent of ENNYICs membership interests.

The conversion of BJEs creditor interests into membership interests, however, is subject to compliance with, and the prior receipt of all authorizations required by, 10 CFR 50.80 (relating to the transfer of the facility licenses) and 10 CFR 50.38 (relating to foreign ownership or 1

The conversion did not involve any dissolution of the company or any transfer of ownership. The conversion was accomplished pursuant to Sections 228 and 266 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (DGCL) and Section 18-214 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (DLLCA), as described in the Notice.

CNRO-2016-00009 Page 2 of 2 control of licensees). The credit agreement also provides that: (1) the conversion of BJEs creditor interests into membership interests shall occur only in compliance with and subject to the same requirements and restrictions as would apply to the licensees pursuant to their licenses, the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and regulations issued by the Commission pursuant to that Act; and (2) BJE shall not take possession of the licensees facilities prior to either the issuance of licenses by the Commission authorizing such possession or the transfer of the licenses. The credit agreement thus was subject to the Commissions consent, without individual application, provided in 10 CFR 50.81(a).

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. hereby provides notice that ENNYIC and BJE plan to enter into an amended credit agreement on March 23, 2016 to increase the amount that BJE will lend to ENNYIC and correspondingly to increase to no more than 25% the share of ENNYICs membership interests into which BJEs creditor interests would be converted in the event of a default by ENNYIC. Under the amended credit agreement, any such conversion of BJEs creditor interests to membership interests in ENNYIC will remain subject to all of the same conditions, limitations and requirements described in the Notice and above. Like the original credit agreement, the amended credit agreement thus is subject to the Commissions consent, without individual application, provided in 10 CFR 50.81(a).

This letter contains no new commitments.
