Document Control Desk Page 2 Reference 2 states, "The method described in Regulatory Guide 9.4 unnecessarily duplicates other financial and insurance verification documents submitted by the licensees to demonstrate compliance with other sections of 10 CFR Part 140. Rather than submit separate cash flow and financial assurance statements, licensees may submit proof of sufficient insurance bonding through American Nuclear Insurers or similar insurance groups. This insurance bond meets the requirements of 10 CFR 140.21 (a) and eliminates the need for a separate cash flow statement."
NSPM has elected to satisfy the 10CFR140.21 annual filing requirement under subsection (a)
Surety Bond vice subsection (e) Annual certified financial statement.
While NSPM is not officially submitting the (e) Annual certified financial statement, NSPM has these documents prepared in the event that the NRC requires them at a future date.
Summaw of Commitments This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.
