UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SECRETARY December 9, 2019 The Honorable Veronica Escobar United States House of Representatives 1505 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515
Dear Congresswoman Escobar:
On behalf -of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your letter of November 22; 2019 to Chairman Svinicki regarding the application by El Paso Electric Company for transfer of its Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station and Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation licenses.
Because the NRC has re.ceived a requestfor hearing. on the license transfer application and your letter relates to subjects that may be raised during any resultant adjudication, the Commission must remain impartial and it would. be inappropriate for the Chairman to discuss or comment oh your letter at this time.
A copy of your letter and this response will be served on the parties in the Palo Verde proceeding.
Sincerely,
~i~~~
Annette L. Vietti-Cook
