Mr. E. A. Turner- ]

Many of the milestones of the staff review require input, preparation, or participation from you, such as responses to questions,-site visits, and ACRS meetings. 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. After you have reviewed these milestones and l

associated dates, I suggest that a representative of your corporate-l organization telephone Mr. Emanuel Licitra, the Licensing Project t

Manager for the South Texas Project safety review, to discuss the i

schedule. This discussion should be scheduled sometime within the next two weeks. Mr. Licitra may be reached at (301) 492-7896.

Sincerely, J

i (73 oger S.
