Dear Sir or Madam:
Article 8, Section 8.13 of the Master Decommissioning Trust Agreement by and between Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and The Bank of New York Mellon, successor by operation of law to Mellon Bank, N.A. as Trustee, except for withdrawals made pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8) and for payments of administrative costs (including taxes) and other incidental expenses, provides that no disbursements or payments shall be made by the Trustee: (1) unless 30 working days prior written notice of such disbursement or payment has been made to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, or (2) if the Trustee receives written notice of an objection from the Director of either the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards or the Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
In Reference 1, the NRC granted PG&E an exemption to 10 CFR Part 50, Sections 50.82(a)(8)(i)(A) and 50.82(a)(8)(ii), for the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP), Units 1 and 2 to fund radiological decommissioning, spent fuel management, and site restoration planning activities. In accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(h)(2), the purpose of this letter is to provide the NRC written notification of The Bank of New York Mellon's intent, upon receipt of a completed Disbursement Certificate from PG&E, to make a disbursement from the DCPP Nuclear Decommissioning Trust in an amount not to exceed (without a supplemental 30-day notice to the Director) $36,261,951, for the costs incurred through December 2019. The disbursement is being requested to fund, among other things, site-specific costs related to decommissioning permitting, licensing, and planning.
