4 Re: Docket ID NRC-2014-0109 My name is Jim McDevitt and I am supervisor of Frenchtown Township, which, of course, is where DTE Energy's Fermi complex is located. The possibility of 20 additional years of operation for Fermi 2 represents an incredible.

opportunity for my community.

The past 15 years have been years of tremendous instability and change. The prospect for two additional decades of stable operations and employment at Fermi 2 is encouraging.

It would be a great boom8 to our population and to the economic vitality of Frenchtown Township, Monroe County and our region.Our past experience with Fermi 2 supports that view. The population of my community grew steadily from 12,199 in 1960 to 20,777 in the year 2000. We saw our population dip a little over the past de~cade to 20,428, but the decline was much less than that which had been predicted by the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments.

Clearly, people have and continue to, as they say, "vote with their feet" by moving to Frenchtown and the Monroe area. They saw the quality of life available in our community.

Many of those who put down roots in our community work at the Fermi complex. They undoubtedly view Fermi 2 as I do ... a source of safe, reliable, reasonably priced power and economic opportunity and stability.

Yes, it would be a substantial boo~st to our area. It is no wonder that so many residents of Frenchtown, Monroe and other Monroe County communities vocally support DTE Energy's license application:
