Dear Sir or Madam:

Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. ("Entergy") applied for renewal of the Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 2 and 3 operating licenses in April 2007 (References).

The Unit 2 operating license expires on September 28, 2013. The license renewal application ("Application") for both Units 2 and 3 is currently under review by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") Staff.

As NRC's review and approval of the Application will not be completed prior to the expiration of the Unit 2 Operating License, Entergy will take the following two actions to ensure full implementation of its license renewal commitments, as documented in the Application, prior to entering the Unit 2 period of extended operation ("PEO").

A

NL-13-071 Docket Nos. 50-247 Page 2 of 2 Action By the end of August 2013, Entergy will submit a letter to the NRC confirming implementation of Unit 2 license renewal commitments required to be implemented prior to entry into the PEO i.e., by September 28, 2013. Entergy will reference the list of commitments included in the second Safety Evaluation Report ("SER") supplement scheduled for July 2013. In the event that the NRC does not issue the second SER supplement on schedule, Entergy will reference an alternate document containing the most current list of commitments.

Action By September 28, 2013, Entergy will submit a letter to the NRC confirming that the Unit 2 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report ("UFSAR") has been updated to implement the Unit 2 aging management programs into the licensing basis.

The attachment to this letter summarizes the commitments made in this response. If you have any questions concerning this submittal, or require additional information, please contact Mr. Robert Walpole at 914-254-6710.
