Dear Mr. Rencheck:

On February 07,2007, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Generic Letter (GL) 2007-01 "Inaccessible or Underground Power Cable Failures That Disable Accident Mitigation Systems or Cause Plant Transients" (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML070360665).

A description of all inspection, testing, and monitoring programs to detect the degradation of inaccessible or underground power cables that support emergency diesel generators (EDGs), offsite power, emergency service water (ESW), service water, component cooling water and other systems that are within the scope of 10 CFR 50.65 (the Maintenance Rule).

In your letters dated May 8, 2007, and December 20,2007 (ADAMS Accession Nos.
