Dear Mr. Sheppard:

Section III.A.1 of EA-03-086 (DBT Order) required that all licensees submit revised physical security plans, safeguards contingency plans, and guard training and qualification plans, including an implementation schedule, based on the revised DBT, to the NRC for review and approval no later than April 29, 2004. The DBT Order further requires licensees to implement the revised physical security plans, revised safeguards contingency plans, and revised security force personnel training and qualification plans no later than October 29, 2004.

By letter dated April 27, 2004, you submitted a supplemental response to the Order for South Texas Project Electric Generating Company, Units 1 and 2.
