Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
We understand the Long ' Island Lighting Company (LILCO) today is submitting answers to your May 22,. 1991 request for additional information on decomnissioning funding for Shoreham.
We also understand that one of your questions concerns _ LILCO's continued financial support of' the decommissioning process "if the current Site Cooperation-and Reimbursement Agreement is-found to be illegal or is otherwise invalidated."
The purpose of this letter is to provide the Public' Service Commission's perspective on that_ question.
First, the Commission _ expects the Site Cooperation and Reimbursement Agreement to remain fully in effect.. Second, assuming-hypothetically -that the Site Agreement were to be invalidated, the Commission, in cooperation _ with the other parties,-would use its-best efforts to. ensure.that alternative means of decommissioning Shoreham were put in place promptly.
- Third, under any such arrangements, LILCO would remain responsible for funding the decommissioning. Finally,'if LILCO enters into. an arrangement with a _ third party ' designated. by LIPA,-as described in LILCO's answers to'your questions,-_the Public Service Commission would ' remain-committed to the effectuation of the-Shoreham Settlement, including, as indicated in my letter _of April'll, 1991 to Dr. Murley, taking the steps necessary to ensure LILCO's access to and recovery of. funds necessary for' decommissioning.
_V.er,y truly yours,
/
