Request for Extension of Interim Authority To Operate for the Distributed Control System and Process Telecommunication System at the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio

Dear Mirela Gavrilas:

The purpose of this letter is to request an additional six-month extension of the Interim Authority to Operate (IATO) for the Distributed Control System and Process Telecommunication System for the High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium Cascade at the American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio.

This system is currently operating under a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) authorized JATO that is valid through March 31, 2023 (Reference 1 ), as conditioned.

This extension would allow for continued operations during NRC' s assessment and final issuance of an ongoing Authority To Operate the system in Piketon, Ohio.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me at (740) 897-3859.

Sincerely,

Ke itch *:y~~~
