Dear Mr. Edwards:

In reviewing your submittal dated March 31,1999, on the above subject material, we find that clarification on the following two areas is needed.

1.

As stipulated in 10 CFR 57.75(e)(1)(ii), the regulations allow an annual Rate of Return (interest earned) of 2 percent. Please explain why a 4 percent annual Rate of Return was assumed in the Decommissioning Cost Estimate Calculations in your March 31, 1999, submittal and confirm that this rate was approved by the St. ate Public Utility Commission.

2.

Please explain the shortfall between the " Average Calculated Deposit Per Year" and the

" Current projected annual deposit"in pages 2 and 3 of Exhibit 2 of your submittal.

This request for additionalinformation was discussed with your staff on June 16,1999, and a 30-day response from the date of receipt of this letter was mutually acceptable.

Should you have any questions on this matter, I can be contacted at (301) 415-1483.
