Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is Neil Roman and I am the owner of Sipan Construction. I-am writing this letter because of the NRC's consideration of numerous issues in connection with the license renewal application for the Indian Point Energy Center, including the potential for alternative energy sources.

NYC is just beginning to rehabilitate itself economically, but there are still many businesses-that are struggling financially. Without Indian Point, businesses will see an immediate increase in their electricity cost that has been estimated to between 5 to 10 percent annually, a cost that will simply be unaffordable.

New York City businesses and entrepreneurs also rely on the safe, clean and affordable power that Indian Point produces. As much as 40% of our power, used for everything from our schools, hospitals and businesses, comes from Indian Point. Therefore, we must ensure that Indian Point is kept open and not allow electrckity'bills-to inrdeiase for families and businesses.

Aneven bigger issueýo6mres up when we analyze New York City's air quality. NYC is identified as out of ComnlJiaince with federal clean air standards by the Environmental Protection Agency. Thus, Indian Point's operationensures thaour ichildr*en are not breathing more of the dirty, polluted air released by conventional power plants. Therefore, the continued .operation of Indian Point has a direct and significant impact on our health When we rec-ogriie that' the opnrotidnf Indian Point does not release greenhouse gases or other hazardous pollutants.

Currently, there is no available substitute to replace the Indian Point Energy Center. Those potential alternative sources that have tried in the past have either failed the affordability test or the health test.

The energy formula for NYC needs to be one that produces more healthy and clean energy, not less. I respectfully urge the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Atomic Safety Licensing Board to renew Indian Point's operating license.
