Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

As provided in 10 CFR 50.,75(f)(1), each power reactor licensee is required to report to the NRC, on a calendar year basis, beginning on March 31,1999, and every 2 years thereafter, on 7 e status ofits decommissioning funding for each reactor or part of reactor it owns.

The Water, Light anJ Sinking Fund Ccmmission of the City of Dalton, operating as Dalton Utilities, hercty submits the information for operating licenses NPF-68 and NPF-81 as requested in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1) for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. It is recognized by Dalton Utilities that Southern Nuclear Operating Company (Southern Nuclear) will be providing this information to the NRC along with the other Co-Owner submittals. Although Southem Nuclear holds the operating license, Dalton Utilities is one of the licensed owners of Plant Vogtle, units 1 & 2, owning 1.6% of the facility.

Based on the information presented in enclosure one and its attachment, there is reasonable assurance that the Dalton Utilities ownership prorated amount of the NRC prescribed minimum will be available to decommission Plant Vogtle units 1 & 2 on the current expiration date ofeach unit's operating license as set forth in 10 CFR 50.75(c).

Should you have any questions conceming this matter, please call Tom Bundros @

(706) 281-1035.

Respectfully submitted, b
