FEB 21979 Mr. Cordell Reed !

Many of the milestones of the staff review require specific input, preparation, or participation from you, such as responses to questions, site visits, ACRS meetings, and responses to public and agency comments.

For this reason, we believe that you should critically review the dates associated with.these important milestones and advise us as to whether you believe the dates are realistic or should be adjusted.

Sincerely,

,/
