Based on the permanent cessation of operations of SONGS Units 2 and 3, SCE considers that this commitment is no longer necessary and withdrawn as it was associated with power operation. SCE considers all GSI-191 resolution activities as discontinued and all open commitments as closed.

This letter contains no new commitments.
