Dear Sir or Madam:

On behalf of the captioned reactor licensees, Entergy Operations, Inc. ("EOI"), submits documentation in accordance with the biennial reporting requirements contained in 10 CFR Section 50.75(f).

In accordance with these requirements, EOI provides reports on the status of its decommissioning funding at least once every two years from this date.Since EOl's last biennial report, the Louisiana Public Service Commission has ordered that the decommissioning collections for River Bend be based on an assumption that the operating license and the useful life of River Bend will be extended.

This results in a collection rate of zero dollars per year for decommissioning for the Louisiana regulated share of River Bend. As EOI noted in its last biennial report, the Arkansas Public Service Commission took a similar action for the Arkansas Nuclear One plant.This submittal contains no new commitments.

Also see footnote 4 to Attachment 3-A for information on the generic baseline cost estimate using the waste vendor disposal factor (Barnwell, South Carolina).

4 A 1999 cost update was prepared and filed with the LPSC and the PUCT. Based upon a settlement in the 8th Earnings Review in Louisiana, the LPSC reflected an assumed life extension using the 1996 decommissioning cost estimate, and correspondingly set the amount of decommissioning costs collected in rates to zero beginning January 2003.The 2004 cost update of $466.97 million (70% of $667.1 million in '04 S) has not been filed.5 This amount Is below the 20% threshold provided In footnote No. 8 to NUREG 1577, Rev 1, "Standard Review Plan on Power Reactor Licensee Financial Qualifications and Decommissioning Funding Assurance" dated March 1999.8 Assumed weighted average after-tax earnings rate for the non-qualified and tax qualified decommissioning funds for the period 2004-2038 (LPSC Consolidated Dockets No. U-22491, U-23358, U-24182, U-24993 and U-25687).7 Assumed average after-tax earnings rate for the decommissioning fund (tax qualified) for the period 2004-2032 (PUCT Docket No. 20150).8 The Nuclear Escalator is 2.53% beginning 2003, based on a Settlement Agreement between the LPSC and Entergy Gulf States, setting the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Post Earnings Reviews pursuant to Order U-1 9904, instead of using CPI as in prior periods.9 Funds accumulated for each jurisdiction may only be used for decommissioning costs associated with that jurisdiction.

10 The following section was added to all trust agreements on December 17, 2003: Notice Regarding Disbursements or Payments.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except for (I) payments of ordinary administrative costs (including taxes) and other incidental expenses of the Trust Fund (including legal, accounting, actuarial, and Successor Trustee expenses)

In connection with the operation of the Trust Fund, (ii) withdrawals being made under 10 CFR 50.82(a)(8), and (iii) transfers between Qualified and Nonqualified Funds in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, no disbursement or payment may be made from the Trust Fund until written notice of the intention to make a disbursement or payment has been given to the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, or the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, as applicable, at least 30 working days before the date of the intended disbursement or payment. The disbursement or payment from the Trust Fund, If it is otherwise in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, may be made following the 30-working day notice period if no written notice of objection from the Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, or the Director, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, as applicable, is received by the Successor Trustee or the Company within the notice period. The required notice may be made by the Successor Trustee or on the Successor Trustee's behalf. This Section 8.04 is intended to qualify each and every provision of this Trust Agreement allowing distributions from the Trust Fund, and In the event of any conflict between any such provision and this Section, this Section shall control.

Introduction The SOAH ALJs conducted separate evidentiary hearings on the four component parts of this docket: fuel, revenue requirement, cost allocation/rate design, and competitive issues. After completion of the hearings and review of the record evidence, the ALJs recommended that the Commission order EGS to reduce its current Texas retail base rates by S137 million, which A4pplicatfon of Entergy Corporation and Gui/States Utilities Company for Sakc Transfer or Merger, Docket No. 1 292, 19 P.U.C.

It is reasonable to include non-reconcilable coal, gas, and purchased power expenses in the amount of $4,853,684 in cost of service.Decommissioning Expense 178. The cost to decommission the River Bend plant, adjusted for a ten percent ceiling value for. contingencies, will be S385.2 million. EGS' 70% share of this amount is S269,640,000.

179. Based on the Commission's previous adoption of low level radioactive waste disposal costs at 7.5%, the fact that River Bend specific inflation factor has been very low in the past several years, and the fact that decom misioning does escalate at a rate higher than general inflation, a 4.81% escalation rate is reasonable.

180. AnI 11.47%/o trust equity return and overall 6.6% return for the trust fund results from the most reasonable assesment of return projections.

181. Total company annual decommissioning expense of S8,551,000 is EGS' reasonable and necessary share of River Bend decommissioning costs as evaluated in PFD §VII.B.Depreciation Rates and Expense 182. The total reasonable depreciation expense for EGS is stated on Commission Schedule I.Production Plant 183. Because EGS has no specific plan to retire any generating unit soon, it is reasonable to assume that the units will be retired in the middle of the year, because they may, in fact, be retired at any time during the year.184. The retirement dates for planning purposes should be used for depreciation purposes, as well. The River Bend license expiration date of August 29, 2025 should be used as the Artachment3f RBS Rep.Page 3 d,9 PUC DOCKET NO. 16705 Second Order on Rehearing Page 155 of 156 SOAH DOCKET rhO. 473-9642285 SIGNED AT AUSTIN, TEXAS the __a_ of October 1998.PUB LITY COMMISSION OF TEXAS PAT WOOD, II9 CHAIRMA ,mr3-iSIONNR Q:%-SHARENORDERS\FJNALsI 6000X1 6705RH2.DOC

Dear Mr. Willis:

This is in response to your request dated February 24, 1989, for a revised schedule of ruling amounts. Information was submitted by the Company in accordance with section 1.468A-3(h)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations.

ThM facts as represented by the Company follow.The Company, incorporated in State A, is an electric utility operating in States A and B. The Company owns 70

  • -e ' a~ait'Gil

-1.-Attachment 3-G RBS Report Page 5 of 6 TR-31-824-89 percent of the Plant as a tenant in common. The Utility owns the other 30 percent.The Plant began commercial operations on June 16, 1986, and its operating license is scheduled to expire on August 29, 2025.The rates for electric energy generated by the Plant are established by Commissions A, B, and C. The Internal Revenue Service approved a schedule of ruling amounts within the jurisdiction of Commission B on November 15, 1988, and within Commission C's jurisdiction on September 27, 1988.The original schedule of ruling amounts under Commission A's jurisdiction was approved by the Internal Revenue Service on September 27, 1988. However, the Company failed to make a contribution to the nuclear decommissioning fund for the year 1986 with thirty days of receipt of the approved schedule, as required by section 1.468A-8(b)(2) of the rbgulations.

This failure shortened the funding period, as defined in section 1.468A-3(c)(1), and thus changed the qualifying percentage, as defined in section 1.468-3(d)(4).

By orders dated July 22, 1987, September 25, 1987, January 21, 1988, and May 18, 1988, Commission A (jurisdictional percentage:

5.6358 percent) determined the amount of decommissioning costs to be included in the Company's cost of service for ratemaking purposes.

There.is no proceeding pending before Commission A that may result in an increase or decrease in the amount of these decommissioning costs.The estimated cost of decommissioning the Plant is S $201,406,000 in 1985 dollars. This estimate, based on the prompt removal/dismantlement method of decommissioning, was calculated by a site-specific engineering study ordered by the Company. The Company's share of the total estimated cost of decommissioning is $140,984,200, and its Commission A jurisdictional share is $7,945,588.

Based on an assumed inflation rate of four grnernt, the total cost of decommissioning expressed in future dollars is$966,950,206.

The Company's share of this amount is$676,865,144.

The Commission A jurisdictional amount is$38,146,766.

Using an assumed after-tax rate of return of nine-)e percent, Commission A determined the amount of decommissioning pecntO eomsinn Attachment 0-G RBS Report Page 6 of 6 TR-31-824-89 costs to be included in the Company's 1988 cost of service i Is annual share of the total estimated costs) to be 1l12,91.The estimated year in which substantial decommissioning costs will first be incurred is 2026;. The estimated year in which decommissioning of Plant will be substantially complete is 2031.The first taxable year for which a deductible payment was made to the nuclear decommissioning fund is 1988. The taxable year that includes the estimated date on which decommissioning costs will no longer be included in the Company's cost of service is 2025. The taxable year that includes the estimated date on which the Plant will no longer be included in the Company's rate base is 2026 (January 1).The funding period, the level funding limitation period, and the estimated period over which the nuclear decommissioning fund is to be in effect all are 38 years. The estimated useful life of the Plant is 40 years.The Company's qualifying percentage is 95 percent.Section 88 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a taxpayer who is required to include nuclear decomissioning costs in its cost of service for ratemaking purposes shall include this amount in its gross income.Section 468A(a) of the Code provides that a taxpayer may elect to deduct the amount of payments made to a qualified nuclear decommisslion.tIg fund. However, section 468A(b) limits the amount paid into the fund for any taxable year to the lesser of the amount of nuclear decomissioning costs allocable to the fund which is included in the taxpayer's cost of service for ratemaklng purposes for the taxable year or the ruling amount applicable to this year.Section 468A(d)(1) of the Code provides that no deduction shall be allowed for any payment to the fund unless the taxpayer requests and receives from the Secretary a schedule of ruling amounts. The 'ruling amount' for any taxable year is defined under section 468A(d)(2) as the amount which the Secretary determines to be necessary to fund that portion of nuclear decommissioning costs which bears the same ratio to the total nuclear decommissioning costs in regard to the nuclear power plant as the period for which the decommissioning fund is in effect bears to the estimated Report on Status of Decommissioning Funding 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1)
