Docket No. 50-285

SUBJECT:

Guarantee of Payment of Deferred Premiums for the Period of July 1,2005 to June 30,2006

Dear Mr. Dinitz:

In compliance with 10 CFR Part 140.21, the Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) files the attached, "200512006 Statement of Cash Flow from Operations," as its guarantee of payment of deferred premiums for the period of July 1, 2005 to June 30, 2006. The cash flow statement deviates slightly from the format of NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 9.4 because OPPD is a political subdivision of the State of Nebraska. However, the pertinent information identified in RG 9.4 is provided. A copy of Bond Resolution 1788, which established the payment priorities listed on the cash flow statement, was filed with our 1979 guarantee report.

If you should have any questions, please contact Tom Matthews at (402) 533-6938.
