Under the agreement, IP2 will shut down by April 30, 2020, and IP3 will shut down by April 30, 2021, subject to operating extensions through, but not beyond, 2024 and 2025, respectively, under circumstances specified in the agreement. As part of the settlement agreement, Entergy further agreed to file, by February 8, 2017, a notice pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1 )(i) of the proposed permanent cessation of operations of IP2 and IP3.

In view of th~ January 9, 2017, agreement and pursuant to 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1)(i) and 10 CFR 50.4(b)(8), Entergy certifies to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that it has decided to permanently cease power operations at IP2 and IP3 by April 30, 2020 and April 30, 2021, respectively. This certification and agreement to cease permanent operations at IP2 and IP3 by these dates is dependent on successful implementation of the terms of the agreement and issuance of renewal operating licenses for IP2 and IP3. 1 If you have any questions, or require additional information, please contact Mr. Robert Walpole at 914-254-6710.

On this same date, February 8, 2017, Entergy is also submitting an amendment to the IP2 and IP3 license renewal application modifying the proposed terms of the renewed licenses from 20 years for each unit to the periods ending April 30, 2024 for Unit 2 and April 30, 2025 for Unit 3.
