Dear Sir or Madam:

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1 )(i), Southern California Edison (SCE) has certified that it has permanently ceased power operation of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS) Unit 2 and 3 (Reference 1). Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1 )(ii), Southern California Edison (SCE) hereby certifies that the fuel has been permanently removed from the Unit 2 reactor on July 18, 2013.

SCE understands that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(2), with these certifications SONGS Unit 2 license no longer authorizes operation of the reactor or emplacement or retention of fuel in the reactor vessel. As a result, we also understand that past and future regulations and generic communications directed solely to licensees authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor are no longer applicable to SONGS Unit 2.

There are no new commitments contained in this letter.
