UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 August 17, 2020 Eric J. Epstein Chairman Three Mile Island Alert, Inc.

E-Mail: epstein@efmr.org

Dear Mr. Epstein:

On behalf of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), I am responding to the e-mail message of August 11, 2020, sent to me regarding the Three Mile Island Unit 2 (TMI-2) License Transfer. Your message asks whether the NRC is a signatory to the settlement agreement executed between the license transfer applicants and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and requests the NRC to provide a copy of the agreement.

Because the NRC has received your request for an adjudicatory hearing on the matter, your message bears on what is now a contested proceeding before the Commission. For that reason, it would be inappropriate for the me to respond to the content of your message or to comment generally on the matter at this time. This is because the Commission must remain impartial during the pendency of the proceeding.

A copy of your message and this response will be served on the participants in the TMI-2 license transfer proceeding.

Sincerely, Annette Digitally signed by Annette L.

[External_Sender] Re: NRC Proceeding "Three Mile Island 50-320 LT" Date: Tuesday, August 11, 2020 9:09:05 AM Secretary:

I amin receipt of the enclosed document. However the document failed to include the Settlement Agreement referenced in paragraph 2.

On August 10, 2020, the Department and Applicants executed a settlement agreement addressing the Departments concerns for purposes of this license transfer application. Consistent with the terms of that settlement agreement, the Department agreed to contemporaneously withdraw its Petition.

1) Please indicate if the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is a signatory; and, 2) Please provide a copy of the Settlement Agreement.

Sincerely, Eric J. Epstein, Chairman Three Mile Island Alert, Inc.
