Dear Sir or Madam:

ENOC-09-00022 Page 2 of 2 NRC proposed a 30-day response for the submittal; however, Entergy stated that additional time is needed for the corporate financial governance processes applicable to the funding amounts in question.

There are no new commitments made in this letter. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Charlene Faison at 914-272-3378.
