Dear Mr. Harden:

Enclosed is a revised schedule for the review of the Palisades Nuclear Plant, licenserenewal application. On May 5, 2005, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission received Nuclear Management Company's (NMC's) supplement to the license renewal application for the Palisades Nuclear Plant. As noted in your May 5, 2005 letter, NMC understands that this supplement to the application will impact the overall review schedule.
