S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Mail Stop O-P1-17 Washington, DC 20555-0001 Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 COMMITMENT DUE DATE EXTENSION

Reference:

Letter from Daniel P. Fadel, Indiana Michigan Power Company, to U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk, "Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, Proposed Alternative to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code Section XI Weld Inspection Requirements," AEP:NRC:5055-10, Accession Number ML052780450, dated September 22, 2005.

The referenced letter contained Indiana Michigan Power Company's (I&M's) proposed alternative to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers Code,Section XI requirements for the minimum number of Class 1 and 2 piping welds to be examined during the next Unit 1 and Unit 2 refueling outages. The proposal was requested because of I&M's intention to adopt a risk-informed inservice inspection (RI-ISI) program during the current third 10-year inservice inspection interval. The RI-ISI program, when implemented, would reduce the number of welds requiring examination.

In requesting the proposed alternative, I&M committed to submit the RI-ISI program by December 31, 2005. I&M's RI-ISI program is to be based on Code Case N-716, and the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station is the pilot plant for a Code Case N-716 based RI-ISI program. The Grand Gulf program will not be submitted prior to December 31, 2005. Therefore, I&M is revising its commitment date.

The attachment to this letter provides I&M's commitment. Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Michael K Scarpello, Regulatory Affairs Supervisor, at (269) 466-2649.

Sincerely, el P re s Engineering Vice President' -AC4-47
