Docket Nos. 50-275-LR and 50-323-LR RE: Status Report

Dear Administrative Judges:

As directed by the Licensing Board Order of June 7, 2011, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) hereby provides its monthly report specifying its current best estimate of the dates on which it expects to complete milestones related to 3D seismic studies for Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) and the coastal zone consistency certification associated with NRC license renewal for DCPP.

The schedule for the seismic work has changed since PG&Es last submittal on August 12, 2014.

PG&E has revised the schedule for issuing the final seismic report. PG&E will issue the report to the NRC and ASLB on or before September 12, 2014. PG&E will continue to provide specific dates in the monthly reports to the extent practicable, recognizing that these dates may be modified as more accurate information becomes available. PG&E wishes to assure the Licensing Board that it is making every effort to minimize the extent of the delay in the NRC license renewal process.

Executed in accord with 10 CFR 2.304(d),
