Dear Mr. Kuo:
On July 20, 2005, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) entered into formal consultation under section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) on the possible effects of continued operation of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Cooling Water System on ESA-listed species managed by NMFS.
DCPP is operated by Pacific Gas & Electric under licenses issued and administered by the NRC.
We had expected to be able to provide the biological opinion by November 30, 2005, however due to limited staff resources we are asking for an extension which will allow us to adequately utilize all available information in preparation of the biological opinion.'-The biological opinion would be issued by March 31, 2006.
We look forward to your response and ask that you reply to our request for an extension by December 20, 2005. If you have any questions or concerns about this consultation or the consultation process, please contact Jessica Kondel at (562) 980-3230 or Jessica.Kondel@noaa.gov.
Sincerely,
.-- e-,Rodney R. McInnis
