SUBJECT:

EXTENSION OF STAFF REVIEW SCHEDULE FOR NINE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION (TAC NOS. MC3272 AND MC3273)

Dear Mr. Spina:

We are in receipt of the Nine Mile Point (NMP) letter dated March 3, 2005, wherein NMP addressed the staffs concerns previously communicated to you on various occasions. In addition, the NMP letter requested a grace period not to exceed 90 days to recover the quality of your license renewal project. We acknowledge your commitment to address quality issues, including those we have discussed on the telephone. We have stopped our review in response to your request. However, as a result of this delay, we will not meet the standard 22 month review schedule.

As part of your recovery efforts, we request that you perform a thorough review of your license renewal supplements, responses to staffs audit questions, and responses to staffs requests for additional information. Upon receipt of your submittal confirming the completion of your recovery efforts, the staff will resume our review and audits. Assuming a satisfactory submittal and adequate support from your staff for these review and audit activities, we will extend the review schedule, as appropriate, to accommodate the additional time needed to complete the NMP review and in consideration of competing priorities posed by other concurrent license renewal reviews.

If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact the NRC Project Manager, Tommy Le, at 301-415-1458; or by e-mail at NBL@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

/RA/
