- Mike, Even though we have provided the RAI response, we may want to give Jonathan the included comments. This will ensure the public record is correct with respect to the FERC reports and nondisclosure considerations. And also will avoid referencing a nonexistent nondisclosure agreement with the VHS owner.

"Entergy, consistent with the Peach Bottom precedent, credited the [Federal Energy Regulatory Commission] FERC dam inspection program to manage the effects of aging on civil and structural elements of the [Vernon Hydroelectric Station] VHS."
A FERC letter to the previous owner of the VHS, New England Power Company (currently owned by TransCanada Hydro Northeast Inc.), dated August 6, 1997 states: "By letter dated June 26, 1997, you requested an exemption from filing an Independent Consultant's Safety Inspection Report under Part 12, Subpart D, of the Commission's Regulations..." and "...I am granting your request for an exemption from the Part 12, Subpart D requirement for submittal of an Independent Consultant's Safety Inspection Report."
As the exemption is only on the filing of an Independent Consultant's Safety Inspection Report under Part 12, Subpart D, describe specific Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station aging management activities, provide inspection reports, and describe any corrective actions that have been take as a result of the inspection reports - as they pertain to the VHS in accordance with 10 CFR 54.21 (a)(3) - since the exemption was granted.
Discussion: Prior to submitting its response to this RAI, the applicant wanted to inform the staff of new and significant information pertaining to the VHS. The applicant directed the staff to the Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC), where some operation reports containing information to be used in the applicant's response reside. Due to FERCInon-disclosure agreee*,,ts with the hydr stations owneronsiions. associated with crtic-ai r
Sinfra'tructureinformatiorn, the applicant was unable to provide the in'spectionreports directly. The staff was informed of the appropriate report numbers and will obtain them ftfI r*i FERC. The applicant will reference these reports in the RAI response.
