Dyer Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation One White Flint North 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852 South Texas Project Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. STN 50-498 and STN 50-499 Additional Information Regarding the Sale of Ownership Interests in the South Texas Proiect (TAC Nos. MC4917, MC4918. MC4732. MC4733)

During their review of Reference 1, the NRC staff requested a Projected Income Statement for Texas Genco, LP (Texas Genco) that includes specific line items reflecting the projected operation of a 30.8% undivided ownership interest in the South Texas Project (STP) for the period of 2005-2009. This letter provides the requested income statement as "Attachment 7C" to correspond with the attachment numbering in Reference 2. C (Proprietary) contains confidential commercial and financial information. Thus, it is requested that Attachment 7C (Proprietary) be withheld from public disclosure pursuant to 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4) and the policy reflected in 10 CFR 2.390 as described in the attached affidavits of David G. Tees and Jack A. Fusco. A non-proprietary version of this information suitable for public disclosure is provided as Attachment 7C (Non-Proprietary).
In addition, NRC has requested further information regarding the administration of Texas Genco's nuclear decommissioning trust funds. Pursuant to a Texas Genco and Centerpoint Energy Houston Electric (CEHE) application initiated in accordance with Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) Rule 25.303, PUCT staff has recommended to the PUCT that Texas Genco and CEHE, as the Collecting Utility, jointly administer the STP nuclear decommissioning trust funds relative to Texas Genco's 30.8% ownership interest in STP.
jXeO kWcA-STI: 31843391
NOC-AE-05001850 Page 2 of 9 Texas Genco will remain the sole counterparty to the Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Agreement with Mellon Bank as Trustee. Concerning the share of nuclear decommissioning trust funds to be acquired from AEP Texas Central Company (TCC), although Rule 25.303 provides that TCC, as the Collecting Utility, administer the nuclear decommissioning trust funds, Texas Genco and TCC have sought approval for a Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Agreement and an Investment Manager Agreement relative to those funds that includes as parties both Texas Genco and TCC. At an appropriate time, Texas Genco intends to seek to be approved sole administrator of the nuclear decommissioning trust funds associated with both its historical 30.8
% interest and the interest that it is acquiring from TCC.
Finally, on page 14 of the Application submitted with Reference 2, we stated that we would identify to the NRC additional members of the Board of Managers for GC Power Acquisition LLC (now Texas Genco LLC). The "Supplement to Attachment 3" included with this letter provides biographical summaries for additional members of the Board of Managers and for new directors, officers, and managers of the Texas Genco Entities after NRC approval. All of these personnel are citizens of the United Sates.
There are no commitments in this letter.
