Dear Mr. Sharkey,

Since this extension will result in a time to l complete decommissioning that exceeds 24 months from NRC approval of the ponds decommissioning plan (January 1998), then you should request an altemate schedule for completion of decommissioning under 10 CFR 70.38(i) as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Sean Soong at 301-415-8155.
