SUBJECT:

Calven Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos.1 & 2; Docket Nos. 50-317 & 50-318 Comments on Proposed Rule for Financial Assurance Requirements for Decommissioning Nuclear Power Reactors (62 FR 47588 September 10, 1997) and the Draft Regulatory Guide 1060, Financial Accounting Standards Board Standards for Decommisaloning Cost Accounting Baltimore Gas and Electric Company is pleased by the opportunit y to provide comments on the subject proposed rule and draft regulatory guide. Baltimore Oas and Electric Company commends the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for proposing to allow licensees some additional flexibility in how they provide financial assurance for decommissioning in an era of deregulation. However, the NRC's approach could result in a substantial and unnecessary financial impact on licensees. A more flexible approach would still ensure reasonable financial assurance for decommissioning without placing unnecessary financial burdens on them. In this regard, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company has reviewed and endorses the comments prepared by the Nuclear Energy Institute.

Should you have questions regarding this matter, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

I Very truly yours,
