June 14, 2008 Mr. Ronald Johnson Tribal Council President Prairie Island Indian Community 5636 Sturgeon Lake Road Welch, MN 55089

Dear Mr. Johnson:

By letter dated April 14, 2008, to Dr. Samson Lee of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or staff), you requested to participate as a cooperating agency in the environmental review for Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) license renewal. On May 2, 2008, the staff forwarded to you a proposed memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a framework for cooperation and coordination between the NRC and the Prairie Island Indian Community (PIIC). Ms. Heather Westra subsequently suggested changes to the staffs proposed MOU, which the staff took into consideration in finalizing the document.

Enclosed for your signature is the final MOU, which has been signed by me. Once you have signed the MOU, you may wish to retain a copy for your records. I request that you return the original to Mr. Richard Plasse of my staff.

Thank you again for your interest in participating as a Cooperating Agency in the environmental review for PINGP license renewal. The NRC recognizes that close cooperation with the PIIC will lead to a more effective and complete environmental review, and we look forward to this collaborative process. If you need further assistance in this matter, please contact Mr. Richard Plasse of my staff at 301-415-1427.

Sincerely,

/RA/

Eric J. Leeds, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
