UNITED ST ATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001

. February 18, 2020 The Honorable Charles E. Schumer United States Senate Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Schumer:

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to your letter of January 31, 2020, to Chairman Svinicki regarding the Indian Point Energy Center license transfer request from Entergy and Holtec (Docket Nos.50-003, 50-247, 50-286 and 72-051 ).

Your letter expresses support for the NRC to hold a hearing on the license transfer application should the State of New York or other interested persons request a hearing.

Because the NRC received multiple requests for hearing on the matter, your letter bears on what is now a contested adjudication before the Commission and it would be inappropriate for the Chairman to discuss the matter at this time. This is because the Commission must remain impartial during the pendency of the adjudication. The hearing requests and arguments made concerning the timing of a hearing will be considered in accordance with the agency's procedures.

A copy of your letter and this response will be served on the participants in the Indian Point license transfer proceeding.

Sincerely, Annette L. Vietti-Cook

Identical letters sent to:

The Honorable Kirsten Gillibrand United States Senate Washington, DC 2051 O The Honorable Nita M. Lowey United States House of Representatives Washington , DC 20515 The Honorable Eliot L. Engel United States House of Representatives Washington , DC 20515 The Honorable Sean Patrick Maloney United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515
