UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 February 17, 2011 Mr. John Conway Senior Vice President, Generation and Chief Nuclear Officer Pacific Gas and Electric Company 77 Beale Street, MC B32 San Francisco, CA 94105 SUB~IECT: REVISION OF SCHEDULE FOR THE REVIEW OF THE DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2, LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION

Dear Mr. Conway:

Enclosed is a revised schedule for the review of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and 2, license renewal application. The schedule has been updated to reflect a change in the date for the issuance of the Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) and subsequent milestones.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the staff) plans to issue the Draft SEIS in May 2011. This change will also affect the date of the public meeting to receive comments on the Draft SEIS, which will now be scheduled for the JunelJuly timeframe, with a specific date yet to be determined. The NRC staff requires this additional time to complete our review of severe accident mitigation alternatives and to allow for internal review of the SEIS in a manner which balances the internal workload across numerous ongoing reviews. At this point, the staff has extended the date for issuance of the Final SEIS to January 2012.

If you have any questions on the reviseq schedule, please contact Drew Stuyvenberg at 301-415-4006 or bye-mail at andrew.stuyvenberg@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, Brian E. Holian Division of licensE-' Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-275 and 50-323
