Dear Senator Dianne Feinstein:

On behalf of the Korean American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County and'our member organizations, I am writing to express support for a fair and inclusive regulatory process currently underway for the proposed restart and operation of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Unit 2.

The Chamber believes that Southern California Edison should be allowed to restart and operate SONGS as proposed in their Return-to-Service Action Plan if the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) determines they have sufficiently completed the compensatory and corrective actions requested in the March 27, 2012 Confirmatory Action Letter.

The Orange County business community and thousands of jobs depend on a reliable power system. SONGS serves a critical function of providing our regional transmission system with voltage support throughout the year; particularly in times of peak demand. Developing alternative sources of energy to offset the loss of power generated at SONGS may be necessary, but the Chamber is concerned that no source will be able to be put into place quickly enough to provide the immediate reliability that our businesses need during peak conditions.

In addition, Chamber staff attended the NRC's Public Meeting at the St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point, CA. on October 9, 2012 and we are concerned with the lack of input the NRC sought from the impacted business community throughout the meeting. Turning our fragile

,recovery into strong economic growth requires affordable, reliable power to business and Korean American Chamber of Commerce of Orange County www.kaccoc.org

resident alike. Therefore, we encourage the NRC to conduct a more inclusive process moving ahead and we look forward to participating.
