NJ TO ALL APPLICANTS FOR OPERATING LICENSES AND CONSTRU In the process of establishing priorities for the licensing reviews of operating license applications, we rely principally on the best estimater of the construction conpletion date of utilities.

In most cases, this date will be confirmed or modified by our Caseload Forecast Panel which usually visits a specific plant site no more than once a year.

Because of a number of recent slippages in dpplicants' Construction completion schedules, we believe it is appropriate at this time to request up-to-date schedules from all appitcants.

Accordingly, we are requesting you to advise us of your present best estimate of the construction completion date for your facility (facilities) and fuel load target date so that we may establish our licensing priorities based on the latest available l

data.
