Omaha Public Power District July 28, 2017 LIC-17 -0056 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555-0001 Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-40 NRC Docket No. 50-285 10 CFR 140.21
Subject:
Guarantee of Payment of Deferred Premiums for the Period of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 The Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is providing the attached, "2017/2018 Statement of Cash Flow from Operations," as its guarantee of payment of deferred premiums for the period of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. The Statement provides evidence that OPPD maintains a guarantee of payment of deferred premiums in the amount of $18.963 million for Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No.
1 in compliance with 10 CFR 140.11(a)(4).
The cash flow statement deviates slightly from the format of NRC Regulatory Guide (RG) 9.4 because OPPD is a political subdivision of the State of Nebraska. However, the pertinent information identified in RG 9.4 is provided. A copy of Bond Resolution 1788, which established the payment priorities listed on the cash flow statement was filed with our 1979 guarantee report.
No commitments are made to the NRC in this letter.
If you should have any questions, please contact Mr. Bradley H. Blome at 402-533-7270.
Respectfully,
