Reports on the Status of Decommissioning Funds," Revision 1 dated January 8, 2009.
Dear Sir or Madam:
NRC regulations regarding the reporting of decommissioning funding status requires that for plants involved in mergers or acquisitions, the status report shall be submitted annually instead of at the usual biennial frequency.
On September 27, 2012 Entergy Operations, Inc (Entergy)submitted a license application (Reference
- 1) to NRC regarding an indirect license transfer involving the subject plants. Entergy has determined that these proposed transactions satisfy the 'mergers or acquisitions' clause of 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1).
Therefore, on behalf of Entergy Arkansas, Inc. for Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO), System Entergy Resources, Inc. (SERI) and South Mississippi Electric Power Association (SMEPA) for CNRO-2012-00007 Page 2 of 4 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station (GGNS), Entergy Gulf States, L.L.C. for River Bend Station (RBS)and Entergy Louisiana, LLC for Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station (WF3), Entergy Operations, Inc. hereby submits the information requested in 10 CFR 50.75(f)(1) for power reactors operated by Entergy for the year ending December 31, 2011. The previous biennial status report (Reference
- 2) provided the funding status for the year ending December 31, 2010.The estimated minimum decommissioning fund values were determined using the methodology described in NUREG-1307, Revision 14 (Reference
- 3) and the information provided in Attachments 1 through 4 is based on RIS 2001-07, Revision 1 (Reference 4).Included with this submittal to supplement Attachments 1 through 4 is information consistent with NRC letter dated March 11, 2011 (ML1 10280410).
This information includes certain agreements providing for nuclear plant power sales (that may, from time to time, include decommissioning collections) between Entergy operating companies that invoke Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Service Schedule MSS-4 in the FERC-approved Entergy System Agreement or other FERC tariffs. Entergy respectfully asserts that these rate-making tariffs should not be viewed as "contractual obligations" as used in 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(v).
These arrangements describe exchanges among regulated utilities that operate within the confines of a FERC-approved tariff, under the ratemaking jurisdiction of the FERC.As such, the various agreements are simply extensions of the FERC tariff and not the type of"contractual obligations" contemplated by 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(v), and Entergy's decommissioning funding is still provided by the external sinking fund method in accordance with 10 CFR 50.75(e)(1)(ii).
In an abundance of caution and in a spirit of cooperation, however, Entergy is providing the various tariff agreements for each affected plant. Footnotes associated with Line Item 5 in Attachmentsl through 4 (regarding contracts) further explain the relationships between the current ratepayer decommissioning funding assurance mechanisms and these system instruments.
Although not required by NRC regulations, Entergy is also providing the Minimum Funding Assurance calculation worksheets (Attachment
- 5) for the subject plants. These worksheets are derived from NRC Office Instruction LIC-205, Revision 4 and are provided to assist the reviewer in understanding the basis for figures reported elsewhere in this filing.This submittal contains no new commitments.
Please address any comments or questions to Mr. Bryan Ford, Senior Manager, Licensing at 601-368-5516.

filed its Motion for Approval of Revised Estimate ofArkwisas Nuclear One Decommissioning Costs and Certain Other Changes to the ANO Decommissioning Tnust Funds ("Motion")
with the supporting Second Supplemental Testimony of EM witness Michael A. Caruso, and the Direct Testimonies and Exhibits of EAM witnesses Rory L. Roberts, Rebecca L. Bowden and William A. Cloutier, Jr. In addition, EM previously filed the Supplemental Testimony and Exhibits of EAM witness Caruso on July 24, 2008, which, pursuant to Order No. 47 in this Docket, had been held in abeyance until such time that EAI filed its revised estimate of the Arkansas Nuclear One ("ANO") Decommissioning Costs.On April 23, 2oo9, the Arkansas Public Service Commission
("APSC" or "the Commission")
issued Order No. 48 in this Docket suspending EAI's Motion and establishing a procedural schedule.
Pursuant to Order No. 48, on July 24, 2oo9, the General Staff of the Commission
("Staff')
filed the Direct Testimony and Exhibits of its witness, Donna Gray, Director of the General Staff Financial Analysis.
On August 24, 2009, EAI filed the Rebuttal Testimonies and Exhibits of EM witnesses Steven K.Sttickland, Albert C. Xing, III, Caruso, Bowden, and Cloutier.
Staff filed the Surrebuttal I Preriously Arkansas Power and Light Company.
Testimony of Staff witness Gray on August 28, 2009. On September 4, 2009, EAT filed the Sur-Surrebuttal Testimony of EAI witness Strickland.
On September 11, 2009, EAI and Staff filed a Joint Motion to Adopt Stipulation of Erntergy Arkansas, Inc. and the General Staff of the Commission
("Joint Motion"), which included, as Attachment A, the Stipulation of Entergy Arkansas, Inc. and the General Staff of the Commission
("Stipulation")
proposing a settlement of all issues related to EAI's March 31, 2oog, Motion. In that Joint Motion, the parties asked that the Commission cancel the hearing set for September 15, 2oo9, and, after it had reviewed and considered the Stipulation, "enter an order approving the Stipulation without a hearing, or, if the Commission desires a hearing to consider the Stipulation or the full merits of the case, that the Commission set a hearing at a later time to accommodate the entry of an order no later than October, 15, 2oo9." (Joint Motion at i, Footnote Omitted).
On September 11, 2oog, the Commission issued Order No. 49 canceling the hearing subject to its being rescheduled by subsequent order.Background In 2007, EAI and the Staff agreed to postpone the 5-year ANO decommissioning cost study that was due to be filed on March 31, 2008, pursuant to Order No. 5 of this Docket Order No. 5 of this Docket provides that, if EAI and the Staff agree, the preparation of a new cost estimate may be deferred.
Order No. 46 directed EAT to continue to monitor ANO decommissioning costs and to notify the Staff when the Company believed that changes in conditions justified that a decommissioning cost study be performed.
On July 24, 2008, EAI filed the Supplemental Testimony and Exhibits of EAI witness Caruso introducing the asset allocation studies, completed by Callan Associates Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 5o Page 3 of 12 Inc. ("Callan")
on April io, 2oo8, ("Asset Allocation Studies")2 for the ANO decommissioning trust funds ("Funds")
requesting Commission approval of several proposed changes to the existing investment practices related to the Funds. Mr. Caruso reported that Callan felt it important to point out that, while the Funds are currently well funded, the future funded status is very sensitive to decommissioning cost escalation.
The cost escalation rate used in the studies, as required by ANO Nuclear Decommissioning Cost Rider ("Rider NDCR")3, was the Consumer Price Index -Urban ("CPI-U");
and Callan's estimate of future CPI-U is a 2.75 percent annual increase.
The Asset Allocation Studies pointed out that, if actual annual cost escalation exceeds CPI-U by just I percent for ANO Unit i and by just o.5 percent for ANO Unit 2, the Funds likely will be under-funded at the time of decommissioning.
By its Order No. 47, the Commission directed EM to file a new cost study by March 31, 2009, and held Mr. Caruso's July 24, 2oo8, Supplemental Testimony and Exhibits in abeyance, subject to subsequent Commission order. In compliance with Order 47, EAI filed its updated cost study ("2oo8 Cost Study")4 on March 31, 2oo9, and in its Motion requested certain considerations related to the Funds and Rider NDCR.2Exh. MAC-5 and Mac-6.a Rider NDCR, formerly Rider M26, recovers from ratepayers the expected cost to decommission the two ANO nuclear units. The amounts collected are invested in external trust funds until such time as decommissioning takes place. To calculate the annual recovery under the tariff, Rider NDCR measures the expected future costs to decommission the units compared to the expected future external fund balances available to pay those costs. Since 2ooi, recovery under Rider NDCR has been zero because expected fund balances have exceeded expected costs. (Gray Direct at 4-5).4 (Cloutier Exh. WAC-4).
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 50 Page 4 of 12 2008 Cost Study By its Motion, RAI seeks Commission approval of its 2008 Cost Studys, which indicates expected cost of $1.265 billion in 2oo8 dollars to decommission both ANO Unit i and 2 which includes costs not previously defined as decommissioning costs for purposes of recovery under the tariff. (Motion: at 3-4, Cloutier Direct at 31-33, Cloutier Rebuttal at 5-6, Strickland Rebuttal at 4-5).EAI witness Cloutier explains that such newly-defined costs included post-shutdown spent fuel management
("Spent Fuel") costs and certain site restoration costs not related to removal of decontaminated material ("Site Restoration"). (Cloutier Direct at 31-33). Mr. Cloutier testifies that Spent Fuel costs are heretofore unanticipated costs BAI will now incur to manage spent fuel because the Department of Energy ("DOE") has breached its contract to timely remove that spent fuel. (Cloutier Rebuttal at 6-9). Mr.Cloutier explains that, pursuant to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, DOE is required to contract with nuclear generation owners for disposal of high-level nuclear waste for which DOE assesses a fee. (Cloutier Direct at 28). In this regard, Mr. Cloutier further testifies that EAI has such a contract with the DOE under which DOE was to begin removing spent fuel in January 1998 and under which WA] has already paid $295.9 million in fees and remains obligated to pay an additional one-time fee for pre-April 7, 1983, spent fuel removal, currently measured at $180.4 million ("DOE Obligation").(Cloutier Direct at 28, Cloutier Rebuttal at 9). According to Mr. Cloutier, EA1 now estimates the earliest date DOE will commence removal is 202o and that EAT will now incur unexpected costs to manage the spent fuel until removal is complete. (Cloutier Rebuttal at 9).5The 2oo8 Cost Study was performed pursuant to requirements of Order No. 27 issued by the Commission in this Docket and updated to reflect license renewal for both ANO units. (Cloutier Direct at 12-15).
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 5o Page 5 of 12 In support of including these costs, EM 'witness Strickland testifies that, because these costs will be incurred, they "will have to be addressed at some time, whether through the decommissioning funds or other means." Mr. Strickland, however, states that EAI will agree to defer this issue for later Commission determination.
Mr. Strickland testifies that EAI "reserves the right to seek a decision from the Commission on this issue prior to the next required decommissioning cost filing..." and asks that the Commission not foreclose EM's ability to file an interim update if changes in circumstances warrant.(Strickland Rebuttal at 7-8, Strickland Sur-Surrebuttal at 7-8). Mr. Strickland also clarifies EAI's position with regard to its cost escalation factor used in Rider NDCR, stating that EAI was not, in its current Motion, requesting a change to that factor "but believe[d]
it important to inform the Commission that experience is indicating actual decommissioning costs are escalating at a rate higher than the CPI factor...." (Strickland Rebuttal at 16).Staff witness Gray recommends the Commission deny EAI's request to include costs related to Spent Fuel and Site Restoration in the 2008 Cost Study and further recommends the Commission not defer making a finding on this issue. Ms. Gray recommends the Commission approve the 2008 Cost Study in the amount of $1,o49.8 million, exclusive of Spent Fuel and Site Restoration costs. She further recommends that this amount be used in each of the Rider NDCR November 1 filings until the next cost study is due 6.(Gray Direct at 9, Gray Surrebuttal at 6). Ms. Gray testifies that EMA has failed to substantiate the need to expand the scope of decommissioning costs to include Spent Fuel and Site Restoration costs. She notes that such costs are not recognized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") as decommissioning costs for purposes of the 6 EAI's next cost study will be due March 31, 2014. (Gray Surrebuttal at 6).
Docket No. 87-i66-TF Order No. 50 Page 6 of 12 NRC Status of Decommissioning Funding Report ("NRC Funding Report")7 and that to include such costs "expands...
the scope of this proceeding and significantly lengthens the time frame over which the trust fund balances remain invested." (Gray Direct at 7-9).She concludes that there will be "ample opportunity" to address these costs as additional information becomes available. (rd.).Equity Investment in Funds By its Motion, EM also asks the Commission to approve certain changes in the equity investment currently allowed for the Funds. (Motion at 5-7). EAI witness Caruso testifies that, as recommended in the Asset Allocation Studies prepared by Callan, EAI asks the Commission to approve an increase in the equity allocation targets for the Funds from 50% to 6o%, with a plus or minus 5% rebalancing around that 6o%, and a general broadening of investment in the U. S. stock market for the Funds. (Caruso Supplemental at 11-12, Caruso Second Supplemental at 3-4, Caruso Exh. MAC-5 and MAC-6). EAI witness Bowden testifies that a change to a 60% equity target results in "greater growth" in the Fund balances than presently under the 50% target, estimating the projected balance in the Funds would be $222.4 million more using a 6o% equity target rather than 50%. (Bowden Direct at 7-8).Staff witness Gray testifies that, based on her review of the Asset Allocation Studies, supporting testimony and exhibits of EAI witnesses Caruso and Bowden, and EM response to discovery, EAI has substantiated its requests in this regard. Witness Gray recommends the Commission approve EAI's request for a 6o% equity allocation target with a +/- 5% rebalancing guideline, and its proposed broadening of equity exposure in the Funds. (Gray Direct at 17).7 EAI provides this report to the NRC pursuant to 10 CFR §50.75. (Gray Direct at 8).
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. so Page 7 of 12 Transfer, or "Pour-Over", of Non-Tax Qualified Funds toTax-Qualified Funds EM also asks in its Motion that the Commission approve a transfer of all funds currently invested in its Non-Tax Qualified Trust Fund to the Tax-Qualified Trust Funds.8 (Motion at 7-9). EAM witness Roberts testifies that prior limits9 on investment in tax-favorable trust funds have been lifted and that new IRS rules allow, upon IRS approval, a transfer, or "pour-over", of balances held in non-tax qualified funds to tax-qualified funds. (Roberts Direct at 4-6). EM witness Caruso testifies that allowing a pour-over into EAMs Tax-Qualified Funds will provide a benefit through lower taxes for the amounts transferred which will allow the Funds to grow faster than if held in the Non-Tax Qualified Fund. (Caruso Second Supplemental at 7). EAI witness Bowden projects that Fund balances would be $289.3 million greater as a result of the pour-over. (Bowden Direct at 9).Staff witness Gray testifies that the Company has substantiated the economic benefits of the pour-over of the amounts held in the Non-Tax Qualified Fund to the Tax-Qualified Funds and, based on those benefits, Ms. Gray recommends the Commission approve that pour-over. (Gray Direct at 18-19). In addition, Ms. Gray also recommends that EAM be required "to demonstrate in annual filings in this docket the actual net tax benefits for ratepayers, with full explanation of the variations from the annual estimates[EAI witness]...
Roberts determined in EAI Exhibit RLR-2." (Id. at 20).Revocation of Non-TaxOQualified Trust Agreement In conjunction with its approval of the pour-over, EAI asks in its Motion for Commission approval to revoke the currently approved Non-Tax Qualified Trust& Investments in tax-qualified funds enjoy tax bencfits not shared by investments in non-tax qualified funds, including tax deductibility and a lower tax rate applied to earnings. (Roberts Direct at 4).9 Limitations were set by rules under the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Code. (Id.).
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 5o Page 8 of 12 Agreement.
The Motion states that the Non-Tax Qualified Trust Agreement will not be needed once the pour-over is complete. (Motion at 9). EAI witness Caruso testifies that the Non-Tax Qualified Trust Agreement is revocable and, pursuant to the Trust Agreement itself and the ANO Decommissioning Trust Fund Guidelines, Commission approval is needed prior to revocation. (Caruso Second Supplemental at 7-8).Responding to this request, Staff witness Gray asserts that revocation of the Non-Tax Qualified Trust Agreement may be premature absent assurance all funds will be approved by IRS to be transferred. (Gray Direct at 19-20). Ms. Gray, therefore, recommends that the Commission either withhold its approval of the revocation or, alternatively, condition Commission approval on EAI receiving IRS authorization to pour-over the full amount. Ms. Gray additionally recommends the Commission require EAI to file in this docket its request for that authorization and the IRS response. (Id.).EM witness Strickland testifies that EA1 agrees with Ms. Gray's recommendation that the Commission condition approval of the revocation on IRS authorization to pour-over the' entire Non-Tax Qualified Fund balance and, additionally, Mr. Stricldand states that EAI will, as Ms. Gray recommends, file its IRS request for that authorization in this docket, as well as the authorization itself. (Strickland Rebuttal at 9).NRC Funding Report and the DOE Obligation In addition to addressing the proposals EAM makes in its Motion, Staff witness Gray makes additional recommendations related respectively to the Funding Report EAI provides the NRC and with the status of EAI's DOE Obligation.
Ms. Gray recommends, first, that FAI be ordered to file in this docket its NRC Funding Reports, beginning with the next report which is due March 31, 2o11, and every two years thereafter or as required by the NRC. (Gray Direct at 8-9, 12).
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 5o Pagc 9 of 12 Ms. Gray additionally recommends that EAM be ordered to proride substantiation that the DOE Obligation funds will be available when payment is due and that ratepayers will be insulated from any adverse impacts from that payment. Ms. Gray advises that ratepayers have provided funding of the DOE Obligation and continue to pay interest on the on-going obligation. (Gray Direct at 12).EAI witness Strickland proposes to work with Staff witness Gray in framing an appropriate analysis to address her recommendations regarding EAI's DOE Obligation and to provide that analysis to the Commission within 9o days after the Commission's order in this docket. (Strickland Sur-Surrebuttal at 4-5).Stipulation By their Joint Motion, Staff and EM propose a Stipulation (Attachment A hereto)to settle all issues addressed in this proceeding and ask that the Commission consider the Stipulation based upon the evidence of record and that the scheduled public hearing be cancelled.
By Order No. 49, issued on September 1i, 20o9, the Commission cancelled the hearing previously set for September 15, 2oog, and took this matter under advisement based upon the pre-filed testimony and exhibits of the parties.1o Further, EAM and Staff request that the Commission issue its final Order in this matter by October 15, 2o09.A summary" of the Stipulation terms follows: e The Commission should approve EAI's nuclear decommissioning cost estimate of $1,049.8 millioni2 for use in the annual November i tariff filings for the years 20o9 through 2013;,0 The only other party to this Docket, the Arkansas Electric Energy Consumers, Inc., has not participated in this specific phase of this Docket."1 This summary is not intended to supplant the actual language of the Stipulation.
2 The amount specifically excludes Spent Fuel costs.

Attachment A BEFORE THE ARKANSAS PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION IN THE MATTER OF ARKANSAS POWER & )LIGHT COMPANY'S PROPOSED NUCLEAR )DECOMMISSIONING COST RIDER M26 AND ) DOCKET NO. 87-166-TF PROPOSED DEPRECIATION RATE RIDER M41 )STIPULATION OF ENTERGY ARKANSAS, INC.AND THE GENERAL STAFF OF THE COMMISSION This Stipulation is made by Entergy Aikansas Inc. (EAI) and the General Staff of the Arkansas Public Service Commission (Staff). This Stipulation is voluntarily executed and intended to bind EAl and Staff. EA! and Staff believe that this Stipulation is in the public interest and recommend that the Commission approve and adopt it as the basis for concluding this portion of this Docket.On March 31, 2009, EAI filed a Motion for Approval of Revised Estimate of Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO) Decommissioning Costs, along with the supporting Second Supplemental Testimony of Michael A. Caruso, Direct Testimony and Exhibits of Rory L. Roberts, Direct Testimony and Exhibits of Rebecca L. Bowden and Direct Testimony and Exhibits of William A, Cloutier, Jr. EAI had also filed the Supplemental Testimony of Michael A. Caruso on July 24, 2008. Staff filed the Direct Testimony and Exhibits of Donna Gray on July 24, 2009. EAI -iled the Rebuttal Testimony of Steven K.Strickland, Michael A. Caruso, Rebecca L. Bowden, William A. Cloutier, Jr. and Albert C. King, IlI on August 14, 2009. On August 28, 2009, Staff filed the Surrebuttal Testimony of Donna Gray. On September 4, 2009, EAl filed the Sur-Surrebuttal Testimony of Steven K. Strickland.
The testimony filed In this Docket enabled Staff and EA1 to better understand the positions taken and the reasons supporting those positions.
Following their consideration of such testimony, Staff and EAI discussed their respective positions and sought to achieve a resolution of their differences in a manner which each believes serves the public Interest.
Staff and EAI now believe that they have achieved such a resolution and have agreed to urge the Commission to issue an order in this docket that Incorporates that resolution.
In order to resolve the issues in this docket, Staff and EAI have agreed, after discussions and thorough consideration of respective positions, to recommend the following to the Commission.
- 1. The Commission should approve the Company's nuclear decommissioning cost estimate bf $1,049.8 million, which specifically does not include projections of costs associated with post-shutdown spent fuel management, for use in the annual November I tariff filings for the years 2009 through 2013. EAI agrees its next scheduled nuclear decommissioning cost estimate filing Is due by March 31, 2014, unless EAI and Staff agree to an earlier filing should a significant change in relevant facts and circumstances warrant, which EAI could then propose for Commission consideration.
EAI agrees it will not file to recover projected costs associated with post-shutdown spent fuel management In any proceeding without first presenting its proposed method to Staff, providing Staff a reasonable opportunity to examine the proposal, and giving a good faith consideration of any questions, suggestions, or 2 proposed modifications Staff may recommend.
EAI and Staff agree to work cooperatively to comprehensively Identify the relevant issues and evaluate any need for and possible methods of recovery of projected costs associated with post-shutdown spent fuel management.
- 2. EAI agrees to use the required Annual CPl -Urban as the escalation rate in its annual November 1 filings for the ANO Decommissioning Cost Rider (Rider NDCR) for the years 2009 through 2013. EAI further agrees to use the Annual CPI -Urban as the escalation rate in its annual November 1 filings for 2014 and thereafter unless the Commission approves a change in the established process and methodology, including Rider NDCR, based upon a comprehensive reassessment
- 3. EAI acknowledges that its customers have provided and continue to provide funding for EArs obligation to the DOE for the one-time fee assessed for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel consumed prior to April 7, 1983 through the ratemaking treatment established In Order No. 16 in Docket No. U-2972 and In every general rate case from that point through EAI's most recent rate case In Docket No. 06-101-U.
As a result, no other amount Is needed from EAI's retail customers, and EAI will not seek, directly or indirectly, any additional amount from its retail customers for this DOE obligation, If this ratemaking treatment continues until EAI pays the DOE obligation pursuant to the contract between EAI and DOE. The exclusive exception for which EAI's retail ratepayers could be charged any additional amounts would be for the reasonable and prudent cost of a method of assurance developed pursuant to paragraph 4 below and approved by the Commission.
- 4. EAI agrees to conduct a comprehensive analysis within ninety (90) days 3 of the order approving this Stipulation of the costs and benefits of Identified options for providing assurance that the funds owed DOE and collected from ratepayers since 1985 are readily available when due. EAI and Staff agree to work cooperatively to jointly propose a recommendation to the Commission within 180 days of the order approving this Stipulation.
- 5. The Commission should approve the Company's requested "special transfer" or "pourover" of the balance from the non-tax qualified trust Into the tax qualified trust balance, with the Company contributing both the funds In the non-tax qualified trust fund and the cash benefit of the tax deduction for the special transfer to the qualified trust fund. EAI agrees to file in this docket its request to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and IRS response to substantiate this approval.
EAI agrees to demonstrate in annual firings in ihis docket the actual net tax benefits for ratepayers, with full explanation of variations from the annual estimates in EAI Exhibit RLR-2. The transferred amounts and the timing thereof shall also be Identified in the respective quarterly trust fund reports filed In Docket No. 96-341-U.The Commission should condition its approval of the revocation of the non-tax qualified fund on the IRS's approval of the pourover, and if the IRS approval is for any amount less than the full amount of the fund, the Commission should not allow revocation of the non-tax qualifieAfund.
- 6. The Commission should approve EAI's request to change the equity allocation targets for the ANO funds from the current 50 percent targets to 60 percent, and to maintain the current re-balancing ranges of +f- 5 percent around the 60 percent equity target. The Commission should also approve EAI's request to broaden the equity 4 market exposure in the funds by Increasing the exposure in the Wilshire 4500 Stock Index Fund, over a reasonable period of time, for both Units so that the ratio of investment in the Wilshire 4500 Stock Index Fund to the total equity in each fund is the same as the Wilshire 4500 Index is to the total U.S. stock market, or about 20 percent.7. EAI agrees to file with this Commission the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Status of Decommissioning Funding report required by 10 CFR§50.75 beginning with the next required report due March 31, 2011 and every two years thereafter or at such other interval as the NRC may require.8. Nothing herein shall revise the current obligations of EAI to comply with any requirements previously established in this docket.9. Staff and EAI herby waive the need for a hearing as set forth in Order No.48 in this docket Staff and EAI hereby also agree to waive their respective rights to cross-examine any witness of either party who would have been called at the hearing scheduled In this docket to support the respective positions of Staff or EAI.10.

Bowden.Attachment 1 to EAI's November 1, 2011, filing is EAI's proposed Revised Attachment A to Rider NDCR (Attachment A). Attachment A contains the ANO decommissioning rate adjustments to be effective from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2o12; the supporting Revenue Requirement Summary page of the ANO decommissioning model; and a summary of the ANO decommissioning fund balances reflecting a 2o-year life extension for both ANO units. See Order No. 41, Scenario 2.Attachment A reflects that both the ANO decommissioning revenue requirement and the decommissioning rate will remain at the current zero level for 2012.As required by the Stipulation approved by Order No. 50, issued in this Docket U on October 13, 2009, EAI's current update incorporates the approved nuclear decommissioning cost estimate of approximately
$1,049,800,000, excluding Spent Fuel I Formerly Arkansas Power & Light Company.2 Previously known as Rider M26.3 Filed pursuant to Order Nos. 5, 27,32, 41, 45, 46 and 5o of this Docket.
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 55 Page 2 of 5 costs, and the annual Consumer Price Index-Urban as the escalation rate. Also as required by Order No. 50, EM witness Bowden provides, in EAl Exhibit RLB-ii, the actual net tax benefits to ratepayers of the pour-over of the ANO non-tax qualified trust fund balances to the ANO tax qualified trust fund.4 On December 2, 2011, the General Staff of the Commission (Staff) filed the testimony of Staff witness Robert Daniel, Financial Analyst in the Financial Analysis Section, in response to EAI's November 1, 2011, Rider NDCR filing.Rider NDCR Rider NDCR is an exact recovery rider that recovers a levelized (inflation adjusted) revenue requirement necessary to fund the decommissioning trusts for ANO Units i and 2. Rider NDCR rate adjustments are redetermined annually in order to assure that sufficient funds exist to decommission both ANO Units at the end of their operating lives. The rate redetermination requires many inputs, including projected trust fund balances as of December 31 of the filing year, projected trust fund earnings and inflation rates, decommissioning cost estimates and the operating life of each unit.The annual Rider NDCR update is filed on or before November 1 each year with revised rates becoming effective for the first billing cycle of the following January.Addressing the current decommissioning fund balances, EAM witness Bowden testified that the pour-over of the ANO Non-Tax Qualified Trust Fund Balances to the ANO Tax Qualified Trust Fund "was completed in March 2011 ... [and that] ... EAI Exhibit RLB-n contains a schedule comparing the actual pour-over and net tax benefits 4 Pursuant to Order No. 5o, the Commission approved the pour-over and directed EAI to demonstrate in its annual filings the actual net tax benefits to ratepayers of the pour-over, with an explanation of any differences from those estimated in its March 31, 20o9, EM Exhibit RLR-2.
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 55 Page 3 of 5 to the estimate provided in EM Exhibit RLR-2 attached to EAI witness Rory L. Roberts'Direct Testimony filed on March 31, 2oo9 in this docket. The schedule shows the amount of variation between the actual amount of the net tax benefits and the estimated amount. The schedule also provides an explanation of the variation for each line." Bowden Supplemental Testimony at 3-4.Ms. Bowden also testified that "[t]he decommissioning revenue requirement for 2011 is zero because the projected trust fund balances exceed the current escalated decommissioning cost estimate." Id. at 4. Based on the 2011 inputs, Ms. Bowden testified that "once the decommissioning process is complete which is currently estimated to be in 2046, the accumulated excess trust fund balance is estimated to be$570.0 million for Unit 1 and $298.4 million for Unit 2 (combined
$868.4 million)."s Id. Given that the current decommissioning revenue requirement is zero, the kWh rate under Rider NDCR will remain at zero for all rate classes for year 2012.Staff witness Daniel testified that EAI's November 1, 201o, Rider NDCR filing is in compliance with the Commission's directives in this Docket. Daniel Direct Testimony at 4. Mr. Daniel also testified that EAI provided, as required by Order No. 50, the actual net tax benefits as required by Order No. 5o. Mr. Daniel testified that "[a]s referenced on page 3 of Rebecca L. Bowden's Supplemental Testimony, the pour-over was completed in March of 2o11. Exhibit RLB-n identifies that for ANO 1, the tax benefit is$21,787,365 or $292,o6o higher than estimated.
For ANO 2, the tax benefit is$8,733,406 or $111,434 higher than estimated." Id. at 5-5 Pursuant to Orders No. 27 and 29, respectively issued in this Docket on October 3o, 1998 and June 25, 9ggg, any excess trust funds remaining after the decommissioning process has been completed will be refunded to EAI ratepayers.
Docket No. 87-166-TF Order No. 55 Page 4 Of 5 Regarding the adequacy of the ANO decommissioning trust funds, Mr. Daniel testified as follows: As reflected on [EAI's] Attachment 1 .-. the decommissioning trust fund balance for ANO Unit 1 continues to increase annually (from 2011 to 2033)until the current operating license expires in 2034 and decommissioning expenditures begin. Also, the trust fund balance for ANO Unit 2 continues to grow annually (2011 through 2038) until its current operating license expires in 2038 and decommissioning expenditures begin. As shown ..., without any further contributions from ratepayers and after decommissioning expenditures, the over-collection for ANO Units 1 and 2 is projected to be $569,991,00o and $298,416,0oo, respectively, for a total of$8 6 8Ao7,ooo.Id.Mr. Daniel further testified, that "[gliven the adequacy of decommissioning funding at this time, continued suspension
[of Rider NDCR collections) for 2012 is warranted
... [and, therefore,]
... [t]he Commission should approve a continued zero revenue requirement, and ... a continued zero rate for all classes for both ANO Unit 1 and ANO Unit 2 as reflected in attachment A to Rate Schedule No. 37 ... [of EAI's November i, 2o01 Rider NDCR update]. Id. at 7.Findings and Rulings Based upon the information contained in EAI's November 1, 2011, Rider NDCR update filing and the testimony of EAI witness Bowden and Staff witness Daniel, the Commission finds that the continuation of a zero rate for Rider NDCR for 2012 is in the public interest.
Accordingly, the Commission approves an ANO decommissioning revenue requirement of zero for 2012 and approves EAI's Rider NDCR -Attachment A as filed on November 1, 2011.

og-o8 4-U Order No. P0 Page 13 of 24 THE AGREEMENT Filed May 10, 2aoo and Revised on May 25,2010 As discussed above, certain Parties filed an Agreement on May 10, which was revised and ultimately joined by all Parties to the Docket on May 25, 2010. To the extent the two differ, the Revised Agreement filed on May 25 controls, but the word"Agreement" as used in this order will refer to both Agreements in totality to the extent they represent the Parties' request for Commission approval.A. REVENUE REQUIREMENT
- 1. The Agreement proposes EAI's non-fuel rate schedule revenue requirement, Arkansas jurisdiction, is $967,361,325, with a resulting revenue deficiency of $73,781,76o, both of which are based on Staffs recommended amounts as reflected in Staffs Surrebuttal Testimonies and Exhibits with the following exceptions (May 1o, 2olo Agreement, Joint Exhibit at 2-5):* Increase in rate base by $18,838,802 to reflect the removal of Staff Adjustment RB-io, which adjusted rate base for historical capitalized incentive compensation.
Prospectively, beginning July 1, 2010, EAI will account for capitalized incentive compensation consistent with Staffs recommendation for retail ratemaking purposes.
The increase in retail revenue requirement resulting from this change is $1,114,792;
- Update retirements to include actual amounts through March 2010, which results in an increase in total company depreciation expense of $248,771.
The increase in retail revenue requirement resulting from this change is $196,537;D.2 Excerpt from Order No. 20 in APSC Docket No. 09-084-U issued June 23, 2010. DocketNo.
o9-o84-U Order No. 20 Page 22 of 24 In compliance with Order No. 18, all Parties to this Docket filed on June 3, 2010, the results of the new cost of service study reflecting the removal of $1o,111,517 in securitized storm costs and reflecting an adjusted revenue deficiency of $63,670,243.
See Joint Submission of Revised Cost of Service at 2 1 2 (June 3, 2aoo). With the removal of those costs, the revised revenue deficiency for each rate class results in an increase to base rates as depicted below: " CS oA....L-""-A'ON.BAE' NA $6,67 43 :RA TENCREASE By CLASS, RESIDENTIAL SGS LGS LIGHTING Rate Increase by Class $13,409,410

Subsequently, on June 7, 201o, Entergy filed compliance tariffs to implement the proposed rate increase, which were amended on June ii, 2o0o. Staff, the only party to file a response to EAI's compliance tariff filing, filed the Compliance Testimony of Witness Kim 0. Davis on June ii, 2OlO. Staff Witness Davis' testimony recommended approval of EAI's compliance tariffs, as amended.CONCLUSION Having considered all of this Docket's pre-filed written testimonies and exhibits as delineated above, before settlement negotiations began, as well as the resulting Agreement and Revised Agreement and testimonies and exhibits in support of those agreements, the Commission finds that the evidence presented could support a non-fuel revenue requirement for EAI in the range of $995.422 Million (Staffs Surrebuttal case) to $1,13o.871 million (EAI's Rebuttal case) without the transfer of costs to be securitized.
The Agreement, as revised, proposes a revenue requirement of $1,020.170 million (Revised Agreement, Joint Attachment i) falling within the range supported by D.3 Exderpt from Order No. 20 in APSC Docket No. 09-084-U issued June 23, 2010. DocketNo.
o9-084-U Order No. 2o Page 24 of 24 June 11, 2010, the Commission finds that the Agreement, as filed on May 10 and revised on May 25, is just and reasonable and in the public interest.

Kimberly Bose October 13. 2009 PtAge 2 Contract is tor 101.4 MW of EAI WBL resources for the period January I, 20 10 through May 31, 2012 increasing to 104.8 MW from June, 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The EA1-ETI Contract is for 106.6 MW of EAI WBL resources for the period January 1, 2010 through May 31. 2012 increasing to 110. 1 MW from June I, 2012 through December 31, 2012. The EAI-EMI Contract is for 76.6 MW of EAI WBL resources for the period January 1, 2010 through May 3 I, 2012 increasing to 79.1 MW from June I, 2010 through December 31-12012.
The EAI-ELL Contract is for 51.4 MW of*EA.I WBL resources for the period January I. 2010 through May 31, 2012 increasing to 53.1 IMW from June 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. These contracts reflect the same pricing provisions and fundamentally similar contractual provisions (but for the three-year term) as the previous contracts accepted by the Commission in Docket No. ER09-183-000.ESI hereby seeks acceptance of the EAI-EGSL, EAI-ETI, EAI-EMI and EAI-ELL Contracts as just and reasonable cost-based power sales pursuant to the Commission-approved formula rate in Service Schedule MSS-4. The EAI-EGSL, EAI-ETI, EAI-EMI and EAI-ELL Contracts:
(1) are expected to result in savings to EGSL, ETI, EMI and ELL customers as compared to other alternatives for meeting customer needs, (2) are expected to benefit customers by reducing the disparity in production cost responsibility among the Entergy Operating Companies in accordance with Opinion Nos. 480 and 480-A, and (3) will reduce the extent to which EGSL, ETI, EMI and ELL are dependent upon natural gas. a fuel source that has experienced substantial price volatility.
7 For these reasons, the Contracts are just and reasonable and the Commission should accept and approve these contracts as filed effective as of January 1, 2010, without further proceedings.
!. SUMIMARY OF FILING EAI, EGSL, ET7, EMI, ELL along with Entergy New Orleans, Inc. (collectively, the"Operating Companies"), are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Entergy Corporation.
Each Operating Company is a public utility within the meaning of the FPA and, in addition, provides retail electric services to native load customers within franchised service territories subject to regulation by State or local regulatory bodies. ESI, also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, acts as agent for the Operating Companies.
In January 2003, the Operating Companies adopted a Strategic Supply Resource Plan ("SSRP"), which represents a bailanced portlfolio method to generation resource planning, incorporatting short-term and long-term contracts in order to maintain price stability among the Entergy Operating Companies.
The SSRP outlines the long-termi view of the Openrting Colmpanies" planning needs for the 2003 through 2012 tinieframe and describes the Operating Companies' strategy tor obtaining the generation resources required to meet the needs of retail cutsto.)ners.
The principal goals of the SSRP include providing low cost base load resources to all of the F"titergy Operating Companies equivalent to their individual baseload requirements.
The:.'.A.I-ki(SL, EAI-ETI. IAI-EIM I and EAI-EL L Contracts are a continuation of'the SSRIP process..uNi Pn,/ 'ublic Service ("Ommi.si n I. bI?&rX), ScIi,"cs.

K i [ivberly Bose October 13, 2009 lkn=' 3 In Opinion No. 480, the Commission, among other things, affirmed the presidingjudge's finding that the Elntergy System was no longer in rough prodLIctioh cost equalization and that a bandwidth remedy was a just and reasonable backstop if the SSRP proved to be an ineffective remedy for production cost disparities.
As discussed below, the EAI-EGSL,.EAI-ETI, EAL-EMI and EAI-ELL Contracts have been entered into pursuant to Service Schedu, le MSS-4 of the Entergy System Agreement.
Service Schedule MSS-4 was modified.
pursuant to a settlement and approved by the Commission in Docket No. ER03-753, vi al. Because the contracts are priced pursuant to MSS-4, the contracts are just and reasonable under a Commission-approved cost-based formula rate.Furthermore, the price terms reflected in the EAI-EGSL.
EA1-ETI, EAl-EMI and EAI-ELL Contracts are comparable to the price temis for similar EAI-WBL contracts that were accepted by the Commission in Docket Nos. ER06-342, ER07-135, ERO8-160 and ER09-183.Accordingly, approval of the subject PPAs is consistent with the Commission's standards for sales between affiliates, is in the public interest, and satisfies the requirements of section 205 of the FPA.II. INFORMIATION REQUIRED BY PART 35 Consistent with the requirements of Part 35 of the Commission's regulations, ESI states that in addition to this transmittal letter, this filing includes: A. Copies of the EAI-EMI (Attachment A), EAI-EGSL (Attachment B), EAI-ETI (Attachment C) and EAI-ELL Contracts (Attachment D); and B. Additional supporting evidence (NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas futures price fbr calendar years 2010, 2011 and 2012) (Attachment E).To the extent necessary, ESI requests a waiver of the information required by section 35.13. As these contracts are fundamentally identical to previously-approved Contracts and are being tiled pursuant to Service Schedule MSS-4, which is a Commission-approved cost-based forniula rate for cost-of-service sales among the Entergy Operating Companies, the cost inbrnnation required by that section is riot relevant.Ill.

The Contracts are just and reasonable because they provide low cost baseload resources to EGSL,. ETI, EMI and ELL and represent significant savings to ratepayers as compared to alternatives available in the marketplace.
The EAI WBL resources reflect a slice of excess EAI solid fhul capacity.
As early as the Spring of 2002, ESI began to study the possibility of selling excess EA1 WBL resources from EAM to other Entergy Operating Companies, among other things, to allocate additional low-cost solid fuel baseload resources to Operating Companies with higher than System average total production costs. Moreover, the 2006 tranche of EAI-WBL resources was the subject of Docket No. ER06-342, the 201)7 tranche of EAI-WBL resources was the subject of Docket No. ER07-135, the 2008 tranche of EAI-WBL resources was the subject of Docket No. ER08-160, and the 2009 tranche of EAI-WBL resources was the subject of Docket No. ER09-183.The EAT WBL resources comprising the Contracts include two nuclear resources, EA,'s Arkansas Nuclear One Units I and 2 and EAI's share of the Grand Gulf nuclear facility, and two coal-fired resourccs, EAI's hIdepcndcnce Steam Electric Station Unit I and EAI's White B~luff Units I and 2. T'hese solid-fuel resources, priced at cosi pursuant to MSS-4, are expected to be tess costly over the three year horizon ot the Contracts when compared to the cost og gas-1ired rcsou'ccs at prevailing market prices.Typically, nuclear fuel costs on the Entergy System average approxiniaiely S6;M\Wh.while te ene~rgy cost of coal-fired generation averages approximately S2 I1.;Wh, In contrast, at I/"lfhiew C'cviC('S, hw..

Kimberly Bose October 13, 2009 Page 5 current forward market data for the three-year horizon, natural gas prices are expected to be about 6.49/immgtu, the fuel cost of a modern fuel efficient, gas-tired resource operating at a 7000 Btu/kWh heat rate would be approxinmately
$45.43/MWh.'r This compares to the projected all-in price of the EAI WBL PPAs of S40.60iMWh, and hence, represents savings compared to the alternatives available to EGSL, ETI, EMI and ELL.The Contracts were market tested against a July 2009 Baseload Request for Proposalswhich was conducted by the ESI, under the supervision of an Independent Monitor.The RFPI was designed the.match the design of the products sought to correspond, to the extent possible, to the supply role that would be filled by the Contracts.
The levelized cost of the conforming proposals that were received in response to the RFP significantly exceeded the levelized cost of the Contracts.
In addition, the solid fuel resources offer numierous other benefits to EGSL, ETI, EMI and ELL ratepayers.
Among these benefits are fuel diversity, fuel security, and fuel and price stability.
Furthermore, the baseload resources in the Contracts match the load shape needs of EGSL, ETI, EMI and ELL. Finally, as in prior years, the Contracts are expected to continue to.reduce the disparity in production cost responsibility among the Entergy Operating Companies pursuant to Opinion No. 480.B. The Cost-Based Rates of the Contracts, Priced Pursuant to Commission-Approved Service Schedule MSS-4, are Just and Reasonable
- 1. Operation oj'MSS-4 Service Schedule MSS-4 of the Entergy System Agreement relates to a unit power purchase between Entergy Operating Companies and/or a sale of power purchased byan Operating Company. A unit power purchase is defined as the purchase of a portion of the capability of a generating resource sold pursuant to MSS-4 (the "Designated Generating Unit" or"DGU"), which entitles the purchaser to receive each hour, the same portion of the total energy generated by that resource.
MSS-4 prescribes a formula rate for calculating the payment by 6ne Operating Company to another Operating Company for a sale of the capability and associated energy of a DGU. By its terms, MSS-4 applies to capacity and associated energy owned by Operating Companies and otftrcd to other Operating Companies.
See System Agreement
§40.01. Section 2.02 of the System Agreement defines "Company" as one of tile Entergy Operating Companies.

Kiiinbezly B3ose October 13. 21009 Paue 6" 2. -.lIpwovcd Rcvisiows to MSS-4 On April 18, 2003, ES[ tiled fbr Commission approval of certain limited modifications to Service Schedule ?NISS-4. On June 10, 2003, the Commission issued an order accepting and suspending the amendments to Service Schedule MSS-4, subject to hearing, and establishing hearing procedures.")
The MSS-4 proceeding was coordinated with, but not consolidated with, the PPA. Proceeding, which involved the approval of eight PPAs among affiliated Entergy companies.
On August 13, 2004, following settlement discussions, ESJ filed an MSS-4 Settulicrnt Ofter on behalf of the Settling and FERC Trial Staff. On October 6, 2004, the Presiding Administrative Law Judge certified .the Settlement Offer to the Commission. Subsequently, on November 24, 2004, ESI filed a revised Service Schedule NISS-4 to incorporate two minor issues raised by FERC Trial Staff.On April 14, 2005, the Commission approved the MSS-4 Settlement, thus making the November 24, 2004 MSS-4 the currently effective MSS-4.1 As a condition in its order, the Commission required ESI to file a notice with the Commission within 30 days of any Operating Company's en tering into any long-term transaction pursuant to Service Schedule MSS-4.'"15 The Commission defined "long-term" transactions as"one year or more."' 6 According to the Commission, suchka notice condition "will provide interested parties with the ability to identify and the opportunity to challenge the transaction under section 206 of the FPA," and is therefore a reasonable resolution of the MSS-4 settlement.
1 7 In this instance, however, ESI is not making an informational filing regarding an MSS-4 transaction.
Rather, ESI is tiling these contracts under FPA section 205. Indeed, the reason ES[is making a section 205 filing here, as opposed to providing notice of long-term MSS-4 transactions within 30 days after Operating Companies enter into the transactions, stems from Section 40.09 of MSS-4. That section provides that a resale under MSS-4 of energy from the Grand Gulf nuclear facility shall be subject to the approval of the Commission.
It is important that the Comninission understand that the sole trigger fbr this particular filing requirement, is the presence of Grand Gulf energy in the transaction.
In other words, but for the inclusion of any Grand Gulf energy in the sale, there would not be and need not be a section 205 filing utnder the terms ot'the Commission approved settlement.

Kimberly Bose October' 13,-2009 Page 7 There is no dispute that the tbmrula rate reflected in the revised MSS-4 produces a just and reasonable cost-based rate. Indeed, as the Commission noted, even the non-settling parties do not object to any of the proposed revisions to Service Schedule MSS-4 set tbrth iII the settlement.
i Because these contracts are being filed pursuant to Service Schedule MSS-4, the 2009 contracts arejust and reasonable under a Commission-approved cost-based formula rate.V. EFFECTIVE DATE ESI requests that the Contracts be made effective as of January 1, 2010.VI. OTHER FILING REQUIREMENTS ESI knows of no costs included in the cost of service that have been alleged or judged in any administrative orjudicial proceeding to be illegal, duplicative, or unnecessary costs that are the product ofdiscriminatory practices.
The cost of service specifically is made subject to the Commission-approved Service Schedule MSS-4.VII. CONCLUSION Accordingly, ESI asks that the Commission accept the EAI-EGSL Contract, EAI-ETI Contract, EAI-EMI Contract and the EAI-ELL Contract for filing, and grant any waivers of the requirements in 18 C.F.R. Part 35 nt~cessary to allow the contracts to go into effect on January 1.2010.If you have any questions concerning this filing, please feel free to contact the undersigned.

)(i)N/A See footnote 2 See footnote 3 None See Attachment 3-A 2 See the agreement in attachment 3-G for the MSS-4 Agreement which is a unit power purchase agreement under the MSS-4 Agreement, a FERC tariff. The licensee had previously believed this arrangement would qualify as a contractual obligation, but upon further consideration, the licensee believes this arrangement is simply a cost of service recovery mechanism as defined in 10 CFR §50.75(e)(1)(ii)(A).
This MSS-4 Agreement is a FERC tariff, part of the larger Entergy System Agreement, which is itself a FERC tariff. The NRC reviewed this arrangement in a license transfer application in 2007 (see ADAMS Accession Nos. ML071560529 and ML072470715).
Accordingly, it is the licensee's position that this agreement' is not a 10 CFR§50.75(e)(1)(v) "contractual obligation," but rather a cost of service tariff which may appropriately be used to fund the external sinking fund in accordance with 10 CFR §50.75(e)(1)(ii).
Out of an abundance of caution, the licensee identifies this information here.3 Please see footnote 2 above. The MSS-4 Agreement was modified in 2010 in response to certain concerns raised by the NRC Staff. The modifications were accepted by the FERC on February 14, 2011.

U-31237 ENTERGY GULF STATES LOUISIANA, L.L.C.ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC EX PARTE Docket No. U1-31237 In re: Joint Application of Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. and Entergy Louisiana, LLC for approval of an Increase in Funding for Decommissioning for River Bend and Waterford 3 Nuclear Facilities LPSC Docket No. U1-3123 7.(Decided at the Commission's July 28, 2010 Business and Executive Session.)Overview and Procedural History Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. ("EGSL") and Entergy Louisiana, LLC ("ELL") (collectively "the Companies")
filed a joint Application with supporting documentation and testimony on December 29, 2009 seeking approval from the Louisiana Public Service Commission
("LPSC" or "Commission")
to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trusts maintained for the LPSC-jurisdictional portions of ELL's Waterford 3 and EGSL's River Bend nuclear generation units.' The request to increase the amounts is the result of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") notifying the Companies of "a projected shortfall of decommissioning funding assurance" at both Waterford 3 and River Bend. The filings were published in the Commission's Official Bulletin on January 8, 2010. Interventions were filed by the Louisiana Energy Users Group ("LEUG"), Marathon Oil Company ("Marathon"), ArcelorMittal LaPlace, LLC ("ArcelorMittal")
and the Alliance for Affordable Energy ("the Alliance").
This matter was assigned to Administrative Law Judge Michelle Finnegan who presided over a status conference on February 22, 2010. At the status conference, Commission Staff requested that establishing a procedural schedule be postponed until after Commission hiring of an outside consultant to assist Staff in this matter. Staff advised that a Request for Proposals had been issued on February 5, 2010, and Staff anticipated the Commission's hiring decision would occur at the Commission's March 2010 Business and Executive
("B&E"). No party opposed Staff's request. A follow up conference was scheduled for April 5. At the Commission's March 10 B&E, the Commission voted to hire the firms of Exeter Associates, Inc. and Henderson Ridge Consulting, who submitted a joint proposal.
At a status conference held April 5, the parties established a procedural schedule with hearings set for early August 2010.On May 24, 2010 the Companies filed an Unopposed Motion to Modify and Amend Procedural Schedule to postpone the schedule while the parties worked to negotiate a possible settlement or narrow issues for hearing; the motion was granted. The Companies and Staff filed, on June 24, an Unopposed Joint Motion to Suspend the Procedural Schedule.
The motion was granted, and as requested in the motion, the I Waterford 3 is a single-unit 1,152 MW nuclear steam-electric gcnerating station located near Killona, Louisiana that was constructed by ELL's predecessor, Louisiana Power & Light Company, and began commercial operation in September 1985. Waterford 3 employs the pressurized-water-reactor design.River Bend is a single-unit 967 MW nuclear steam-electric generating station located near St.Francisville, Louisiana that was constructed by EGSL's predecessor, Gulf States Utilities Company, and began commercial operation in June 1986. River Bend employs the boiling-water-reactor design.Order No. U-31237 Page I parties were directed to file an update on the status of the case or an uncontested stipulation on or before July 9. On July 9, Staff and the Companies advised that a Settlement Term Sheet had been executed by all but one party, and that the parties planned to file the uncontested stipulation and request that a hearing be set so that this matter could be considered at the Commission's July B&E. On July 13, 2010 the parties filed a Joint Motion for the Scheduling of a Stipulation Hearing and Request for Expedited Hearing. The motion was granted and a Stipulation Hearing was convened on July 20, 2010.Commission Authority Louisiana Constitution and Statutes: The Commission exercises jurisdiction in this proceeding pursuant to Article IV, Sec. 21 of the Louisiana Constitution, and La. R.S. 45:1163(A)(1) and La. R.S. 45:1176.La. Const. Art. IV, Sec. 21 provides in pertinent part: The Commission shall regulate all common carriers and public utilities and have such other regulatory authority as provided by law. It shall adopt and enforce reasonable rules, regulations, and procedures necessary for the discharge of its duties, and perform other duties as provided by law.La. R.S. 45:1163 provides in pertinent part: A. (1) The Commission shall exercise all necessary power and authority over any street, railway, gas, electric light, heat, power, waterworks, or other local public utility for the purpose of fixing and regulation the rates charged or to be charged by and service furnished by such public utilities.
La. R.S. 45:1176 provides in pertinent part: The Commission...
shall investigate the reasonableness and justness of all contracts, agreements and charges entered into or paid by such public utilities with or to other persons, whether affiliated with such public utility or not.Companies' Application The Companies December 29, 2009 Joint Application requests an increase in revenues for ELL and EGSL to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trusts maintained for the LPSC-jurisdictional portions of ELL's Waterford 3 and EGSL's River Bend nuclear generation units. The request for increase is the result of the NRC's determination of a projected shortfall in the decommissioning funding at both Waterford 3 and River Bend.The Companies' Application proposes new revenue requirement amounts consistent with their revised decommissioning funding plans using a 40 year license and requests approval to include these revenue requirements in their 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan ("FRP") filings. ELL requests approximately
$10.336 million per year for its LPSC-jurisdictional revenue requirement in 2010 to meet the NRC minimum funding assurance of $400.2 million, which would be a $7.94 million increase over the $2.396 million in ELL's rates. For EGSL's portion of the regulated 70% share of River Bend, Order No. U-31237 Page 2 EGSL requests a revenue requirement of $9.671 million per year to meet its NRC minimum assurance of $378.8 million. Currently, EGSL has no funding in retail rates for decommissioning.
Staff's Review Commission Staff conducted a review of the Application, supporting documentation and testimony.
Commission Staff issued data requests, reviewed those responses and conducted a series of conferences with the Companies.
Staff proposed certain adjustments to the Companies' filed calculations of their revenue requirements to update the trust fund balances, extend the funding period and modify the investment portfolio allocations.
Commission Staff and the Companies reached a stipulated agreement, taking into account Commission Staff's adjustments, that resolves all issues in this docket.Uncontested Stipulated Settlement The Companies and Staff filed on July 13, pursuant to Rule 6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a motion for stipulation hearing, Settlement Term Sheet signed by all parties, and supporting testimony from Kenneth Gallagher for the Companies and Thomas S. Catlin and William J. Barta for Commission Staff. A stipulation hearing was held July 20. At the stipulation hearing, the Companies presented the live testimony of Mr. Gallagher and Commission Staff presented the live testimony of Mr. Catlin. In addition to live testimony, the following documents were entered into the record: Joint Staff EGSLIELL Exhibit I -Settlement Term Sheet;Staff Exhibit I- Settlement Testimony of William J. Barta, dated July 2010;Staff Exhibit 2- Settlement Testimony of Thomas S. Catlin, dated July 2010;EGSLIELL Exhibit I- Settlement Testimony of Kenneth F. Gallagher, dated July 9, 2010;EGSL/ELL Exhibit 2- Direct Testimony of Kenneth F. Gallagher, redacted public version, dated December 2009; and EGSLJELL Exhibit 3- Direct Testimony of Kenneth F. Gallagher, confidential version, dated December 2009.Conclusion On motion of Commissioner Campbell, seconded by Commissioner Field, and unanimously adopted, the Commission voted to accept the Staff Recommendation and adopt the uncontested stipulated Settlement Term Sheet filed into the record on July 13, 2010. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED: 1. The Companies submitted a Joint Application seeking approval to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trusts maintained for the LPSC's jurisdictional portions of the Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station ("Waterford 3") owned by ELL and the River Bend Station ("River Bend") owned by EGSL.Order No. U-31237 Page 3 The Companies requested increases in their respective revenue requirements to address projected shortfalls found by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") in the decommissioning funding assurance required for each facility.2. The proposed revised revenue requirement amounts are a result of the NRC notifying the Companies of the referenced projected shortfall of decommissioning funding assurance at both Waterford 3 and River Bend.Under NRC financial assurance requirements regulations found in 10 CFR 50.75(a)-(O, ELL and EGSL, as holders of nuclear operating licenses, must certify through biennial filings that available decommissioning funds are not less than the NRC's prescribed minimum amount required to fund decommissioning costs. The projected shortfalls determined by the NRC are a result of several factors, including the NRC's requirement that only the currently approved license life of forty (40) years for each unit may be used in calculating the minimum financial assurance amount. The LPSC, in prior Orders, used a sixty (60) year license life to determine the appropriate level of funding for the decommissioning trusts, based on possible license extensions that the Companies are expected to apply for in the future.3. The Companies have proposed new revenue requirement amounts consistent with their revised decommissioning funding plans using a 40 year license and requested approval to include these revenue requirements in their 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan ("FRP") filings in the manner provided for in each Company's FRP.2 ELL has requested approximately
$10.336 million per year 3 for its LPSC-jurisdictional revenue requirement in 2010 to meet the NRC minimum funding assurance of $400.2 million, which would be a $7.94 million increase over the $2.396 million in ELL's rates. For EGSL's portion of the regulated 70% share of River Bend 4 , EGSL has requested a revenue requirement of $9.671 million per year to meet its NRC minimum assurance of$378.8 million.3 Currently, EGSL has no funding in retail rates for decommissioning.
- 4. The Commission has recognized in its prior rate Orders setting decommissioning accruals for both ELL and EGSL that the decommissioning accrual issue would be revisited if the NRC notified the Companies that decommissioning funding was inadequate.
Orders addressing both EGSL and ELL contain language substantially as follows: "In the event that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") formally notifies [EGSL or ELL] or [the River Bend or Waterford 3] licensee that the decommissioning funding for[River Bend or Waterford 31 is or would become inadequate, the Company would be permitted recognition in rates of decommissioning expense at a level sufficient to address reasonably the NRC's concern as expressed in the notification.'
6 2 Section 3.A.5 of the EGSL and ELL FRP Riders both contain identical language stating, in pertinent part that: "The effects of the changes in depreciation rates, and/or decommissioning accruals, increases and decreases, ordered by the LPSC, including as a result of changes in the requirement to fund the decommissioning trust that may be ordered by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission during the period that this FRP is in effect, shall be considered separately outside of the FRP mechanism." 3 The retail revenue requirement for ELL is $10.134 million.4 Thirty percent of the River Bend plant is unregulated and was acquired by EGSL from the former Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. as part of a bankruptcy reorganization.
See In Re Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., 238 B.R 319 (M.D. La. 1999) aff'd 119 F.3V 349 (5'" Cir. 1997). The decommissioning funding for this 30% share is separately funded and is not subject to the NRC's notice of projected shortfalls in the decommissioning funding assurance and, therefore, not subject to the review being undertaken in this proceeding.
5 The $378.8 million figure represents the combined total for the River Bend regulated plant, including the Louisiana, Texas and wholesale jurisdictions.
The Louisiana retail jurisdictional share of River Bend's NRC minimum is $217.76 million.6 For EGSL and River Bend, the provision comes from Item 8 of settlement term sheet for Consolidated Order Nos. U-22491, U-23358, U-24182, U-24993, U-25687 dated January 8, 2003. For ELL and Waterford 3, the provision comes from Item 4 of the settlement term sheet for Order No. U-20925 RRF 2004 dated May 25, 2005.Order No. U-31237 Page 4
- 5. After incorporating certain adjustments to the Companies' filed calculations of their revenue requirements to update the trust fund balances, extend the funding period and modify the investment portfolio allocations, the Staff and the Companies have agreed upon new decommissioning funding requirements for both Waterford 3 and River Bend. The agreed upon decommissioning funding is intended to serve only to meet the decommissioning funding requirements on an interim basis, and the Staff and Companies agree that both the Waterford 3 and River Bend funding requirements will be re-evaluated based on site specific cost studies after ELL and EGSL, respectively, have filed for and received the NRC's responses to requests for license extensions for the two nuclear facilities.
It is recognized that there is no certainty that either ELL or EGSL will receive license extensions for their respective plants and that the LPSC may have to re-evaluate and adjust revenue requirements based on a forty (40) year life for each plant.6. The initial funding requirement of $5.947 million ($5.831 million on a retail basis) per year is appropriate.
This amount will be included in ELL's revenue requirement for the Waterford 3 decommissioning funding plan, with collections to begin with the September 2010 billing cycle rate change scheduled to occur through the implementation of ELL's 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan and further finds that these costs are to be treated as"Extraordinary Costs" and recovered outside of the earnings sharing mechanism of the Formula Rate Plan. This calculation is based on the 5-year step funding plan historically used for Waterford 3 and reflects beginning fund balance, the investment portfolio allocations, escalation and earnings rates, 5-year funding increments, and other assumptions set forth in the Attached Exhibit A.7. For River Bend, an initial funding requirement of $7.843 million per year stepped up on a 5-year basis is appropriate 7.This amount will be included in EGSL's revenue requirement for the River Bend decommissioning funding plan, with collections to begin with the September 2010 billing cycle rate change scheduled to occur through the implementation of EGSL's 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan and further finds that these costs are to be treated as"Extraordinary Costs" and recovered outside of the earnings sharing mechanism of the Formula Rate Plan. This calculation is a 5-year step funding plan recommended by Staff and reflects the beginning fund balances, the investment portfolio allocations, escalation and earnings rates, 5-year funding increments, and other assumptions set forth in the Attached Exhibit B.8. The NRC financial assurance analysis is not a ratemaking adequacy test but is instead a financial adequacy test devised specifically and solely for that purpose. Thus, the financial adequacy test and the resulting implications for ratemaking can differ. Recognizing this fact, the Commission hereby allows contributions to the decommissioning trust fund during the decommissioning period to be considered for purposes of determining whether NRC financial assurance'requirements are met For Waterford 3, funding is assumed to occur for the first seven years of the expected ten-year decommissioning period, consistent with the NRC's own calculation of the Waterford 3 minimum decommissioning amount. Staff also assumed funding of the trust through ratepayer contributions during the first six years of the decommissioning period for River Bend.9. The Staffs decommissioning revenue requirement developed for the River Bend nuclear facility, which is hereby adopted by the Commission, reflects the amount to fully fund the Louisiana retail jurisdictional share of the regulated 70% portion of the unit, including the portion that comprises what is known as the Deregulated Asset Plan ("DAP"). Under the provisions of LPSC Order Nos.7 For EGSL the $7.843 million amount is on a retail basis.Order No. U-31237 Page 5 U-17282 D (1/26/88) and U-17282 K (1/12/92) establishing and modifying the River Bend DAP, EGSL has the following options: (1) selling the DAP capacity to customers at a rate of 4.6 cents per kWh ($46 per MWh), recovered through the Company's Fuel Adjustment Clause, (2) in response to a bona fide offer approved by the LPSC, selling the capacity into the market and sharing proceeds with customers on a 50/50 basis for amounts in excess of 4.6 cents per kWh, or (3) if EGSL requests approval by the LPSC to sell the capacity into the market in response to a bona fide offer, and the LPSC disapproves such off system sale, the purchase price by which the DAP capacity will be sold to customers and recovered through the Company's Fuel Adjustment Clause will be adjusted to 4.6 cents per kWh plus 50 percent of the increment above 4.6 cents per kWh offered by a third party. Seven years after the DAP was approved, in. Order U-19904-C (12/29/94), the Commission determined that nuclear decommissioning costs associated with the DAP capacity should be considered to be part of the 4.6 cents per kWh rate established by the DAP instead of separately recovered from customers.
The nuclear decommissioning costs for the DAP portion of River Bend should be returned to EGSL's revenue requirement consistent with the original DAP order and collected separately, and in addition to, the 4.6 cents per kWh. EGSL agrees that as long as~the DAP portion of the decommissioning revenue requirement is collected separately, and in addition to, the 4.6 cents per kWh, the Company will not sell the DAP capacity into the market and/or realize any amount in excess of 4.6 cents per kWh in the event it receives a bona fide offer by a third party, for the earlier of 1) a period of 5 years or 2) until EGSL receives a final ruling on its application for River Bend's license extension.
The LPSC and its Staff will review and re-examine allocating the DAP into rates within 5 years this Order.10. The increase in the 2010 decommissioning funding contributions of $3.5518 million for ELL and $7.843 million for EGSL will be allocated to and recovered from each applicable rate schedule, as identified in Statement A of Rider FRP-5 for ELL and Rider FRP-I for EGSL, in proportion to base revenues before the application of the monthly fuel adjustment.
- 11. This Commission finds that the Companies have complied with, or are not in conflict with, the provisions of all applicable LPSC Orders governing the Companies Joint Application filed December 29, 2009 in this matter.12. The proposed funding amounts of this Order must be accepted by the NRC. If for any reason the NRC does not accept the proposed funding amounts set forth, the LPSC will promptly undertake to re-examine and review the funding amounts and the related issues which are the subject of a NRC refusal.13. This Commission affirms the language of its prior Orders, namely Item 8 of settlement term sheet for Consolidated Order Nos. U-22491, U-23358, U-24182, U-24993, U-25687 dated January, 8 2003 and Item 4 of the settlement term sheet for Order No. U-20925 RRF 2004 dated May 25, 2005 that in the event that the NRC formally notifies EGSL or ELL or the River Bend or Waterford 3 licensee that the decommissioning funding for either River Bend or Waterford 3, individually or collectively, is or would become inadequate, then ELL or EGSL or both would be permitted recognition in rates of decommissioning expense at a level sufficient to address reasonably the NRC's concern as expressed in the notification.
- 14. For ratemaking purposes the amount of the decommissioning accrual to be reflected in rates shall track, on a prospective basis, for the rate effective period, the specific annual amounts set out in the agreed upon decommissioning funding plan or any subsequent Commission-approved decommission funding plan. on a monthly pro rata basis. Such derived amounts shall form the basis for 8 The retail increase is S 3.482 million.Order No. U-31237 Page 6 subsequent rate changes. To the extent that the Companies remain subject to Formula Rate Plans with scheduled rate implementations where rate changes do not occur on January 1, the Companies shall make pro forma adjustments to their Formula Rate Plan Filings reflecting any prospective changes to decommissioning accruals that would occur in the rate effective period, on a monthly pro rata basis. These pro forma adjustments shall be treated as Extraordinary Costs outside of any bandwidth sharing. In the event the Companies are no longer under Formula Rate Plans, the rate treatment of decommissioning costs will be determined by subsequent Commission Order.The Companies and the Staff reserve the right to modify this procedure upon mutual agreement if circumstances warrant.15, Except as stated herein and as set forth in prior Commission Orders, this Order, including the calculation methodology reflected in the Exhibits to this Order, shall have no precedential effect in any other proceedings involving issues similar to those resolved herein and shall be without prejudice to the right of any party to take any position on any such similar issue in future base rate proceedings, including Formula Rate Plan proceedings, or in other related regulatory proceedings or appeals.16.

NELSON, COMMISSIONER KEN TH W. ANDE ., COMMISSIONER q: \cadmkordqi na 1\3 7000137744 r.doc x Attachment 3-F (9 pages)FERC Order in Docket Nos. ER86-558-002 A UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FEDERAL ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Before Commissioners:
Martha 0. Hess, Chairmani Anthony G. Sousa, Charles G. Stalon and Charles A. Trabandt.Gulf States Utilities company ) Docket Noas. ER86-558-002, ER86-558-01 and ER86-558-013 ORDER CLARIFYING PRVIOUS ORDERS (15suod May 18, 1988)On Fobruary 16,. 1988, Gulf States Utilities Company (Gulf States) filed a petition for clarification of certain letter orders approving settlements in this proceeding.
J/ The letter orders approved settlement rates reflecting decommissioning expenses funded through an external fund (River Bend Nuclear Decommissioning Fund) adjusted for a forty-year funding period.On March 2, 1988, Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, Inc.(Cajun) requested that the Cqmmission explicitly recognize.
that its contributions to Gulf Statas' docommissioning fund are, and have been, on the basis of unadjusted decommissioning expenses, and that the instant order will have no application to the rates being charged to Cajun.dulf States requests that the Comission expressly recognize the amount of yearly decommissioning costs which it is entitled to collect. Gulf States asserts that absent such express recognition, the Internal Revenue Service. (IRS) will not permit.its deduction of yearly cash contributions to the River Bend Nuclear Decommissioning Fund.Gulf'States contends that it must first receive a "schedule of ruling amounts", from the IRS in order to take this deduction.
Gulf States further maintains that the IRS will not provide a taxpayer with a schadule of rulihq atouns "UMIleds a pUblif utility conmission that Gstablishes or approves rates for electric energy generated by the nuclear power plant to which the V/ S Gulf States Utilities Company, 40 FrRC ! 61,081 (1987); Gulf States Utilities Company, 40 FERC ¶ 61,380 (1987)1 and Gulf States Utilities Company, 4. £ERC¶ 61,098 (1988).ILC 358016 Docket Nos. ER86-558-002 and -011 and -013 nuclear decommissioning fund relates has determined the amount of decommissioning costs of such nuclear power plant to be included in the taxpayer's cost of service for ratemaking purposes." 21 Gulf States maintains that the commission's letter orders approving the settlements do not expressly address decommissioning costs,'although the settlement rates which.the Commission has approved are expressly based upon specified decommissioning costs. Gulf States also claims that the IRS has determined that the Commission's letter orders approving the settlements do not satisfy the requirements of its regulations.
We are not convinced that the instant clarifications are necessary.
It appears that Gulf States has never submitted to the IRS'the letter orders approving the settlements that specified the amount of decommissioning costs that will be reflected in Gulf States' wholesale rates. Based on Gulf States, filing it appears that they requested approval from the IRS on June 24, 1987. 2/ The letter orders vere not issued until July 22 And September 25, 1987 and January 31, 1988, respectively.
We believe that had Gulf States properly submitted tha ltter orders that are tho subject of our order today to the IRS that no clarification of these orders would be necessary.
We shall nevertheless grant the requests of Gulf States and cajun. in approving the settldments reached in this docket the Commission has authorized Gulf Statj ,to rflac* in Its wholesale rates yearly decommissioning costs of $112,914.
We beiieve such acti1on to 5e in the public interest to allow Gulf States to receive the proper tax deduction for its yearly cash contributions to the River Bend Nuclear Decommissioning Fund.This order will also have no application to the rates being charged to Cajun.
orders: The Gulf states' and Cajun's requests for clarification arehereby granted.By the Commission.

ER86-558-000, ER86-558-002,) ER86-558-O11V) ER86-558-013,) ER86-558-015 FEB 22 1988 PETITION FOR CLARIFICATION OF ORDERS OF APPROVAL LEGAL SERVICES I. INTRODUCTION By this petition pursuant to Rule 207 (a) (2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, Gulf States Utilities Company ("Gulf States" or the "Company")
requests the Commission to clarify certain letter orders approving settlements which have been reached in this docket. The purpose of the clarification is to recognize expressly the amount of decommissioning costs reflected in the rates established by the settlements.
Absent this express recognition, Gulf States will be unable to deduct from its taxable income its yearly cash contributions to its decommissioning fund.II. BACKGROUND OF THE SETTLEMENT RATES On June 24, 1986, Gulf States filed a proposed three-phase increase in. rates and charges to fourteen wholesale customers.
The primary purpose of the filing was to establish rates reflecting the impact of the River Bend Unit I nuclear generating plant ("River Bend"), which went into commercial operation in June, 1986.
On March 20, 1987, Gulf States filed ý a settlement agreement with seven settling customers (the "Towns Agreement").
The Commission approved the Towns Agreement by a letter order dated July 22, 1987. On July 15, 1987, Gulf States filed a substantially similar settlement agreement with the Town of Welsh, Louisiana (the "Welsh Agreement").
The Commission approved the Welsh Agreement by a letter order dated September 25, 1987. On October 7, 1987, Gulf States filed a settlement agreement with Sam Rayburn Dam Electric Cooperative, Inc., Sam Rayburn G&T, Inc., and Sam Rayburn Municipal Power Agency (the "Sam Rayburn Agreement").
The Commission approved the Sam Rayburn Agreement by a letter order dated January 21, 1988. Also pending before the Commission is Gulf States'December 11, 1987, settlement agreement with Deep East Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. ("Deep East Agreement")
and Gulf States' January 22, 1988, settlement agreement with Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. ("Brazos Agreement").
With respect to decommissioning costs, the settlement rates (which are the same for all customers) reflect the decommissioning expenses set forth in the Company's filing, adjusted for a 40-year funding period. The Sam Rayburn Agreement, for example, expressly provides: The settlement rates reflect the decommissioning expenses set forth in the Company's filing, adjusted for a 40-year funding period, which expenses are funded through an external fund.
C C Sam Rayburn Agreement, Art. III(H)(3);
Deep East Agreement, Art.III (G)(4); Brazos Agreement, Art. III (F)(4). Similarly, the Towns Agreement and the Welsh Agreement provide for settlement rates which incorporate the decommissioning expenses set forth in the Company's filing, funded over a 40-year period. See Towns Agreement, Art. III(K)(4) and Art. III(K)(l)
(40-year life);Welsh Agreement, Art. III(E)(4) and Art. III(E)(1)
(40-year life).The Deep East Agreement and Brazos Agreement specifically include a schedule reflecting the yearly decommissioning costs included in the settlement rates. Deep East Agreement, Exhibit D; Brazos Agreement, Exhibit C. As shown in the schedule, the settlement rates are based on a yearly decommissioning cost of $112,914.
While the other settlement agreements provided for the same specific decommissioning expenses, they did not include a separate schedule of the Company's actual yearly costs. Gulf States is attaching to this pleading as Attachment 1 the schedule reflecting the yearly decommissioning costs included in the settlement rates.III. THE IRS WILL NOT PERMIT GULF STATES TO DEDUCT ITS CONTRIBUTIONS TO ITS DECOMMISSIONING FUND UNLESS THE COMMISSION EXPRESSLY DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF THE RIVER BEND DECOMMISSIONING COSTS TO BE REFLECTED IN RATES Section 468A of the Internal Revenue Code permits eligible taxpayers to deduct a portion of their cash contributions to a nuclear decommissioning fund. To take this deduction, the taxpayer must first obtain a "schedule of ruling C C amounts" from the Internal Revenue Service. Temp. Treas. Reg.Sl.468A-3T(a)(l)(1986).
The Internal Revenue Service will not provide a taxpayer with a schedule of ruling amounts "unless a-public utility commission that establishes or approves rates for electric energy generated by the nuclear power plant to which the nuclear decommissioning fund relates has determined the amount of decommissioning costs of such nuclear power plant to be included in the taxpayer's cost of service for ratemaking purposes." Temp. Treas. Reg. §l.468A-3T(g)
(1986). A copy of the commission's most recent determination must be included in the request for a schedule of ruling amounts. Temp. Treas. Reg.§1.468A-3T(h)
(2) (vi) (C) (1986).The Commission's letter orders approving the settlements in this docket do not expressly address decommissioning costs. Although the. settlement rates which the Commission has approved are expressly based upon specified decommissioning costs, see supra pp. 2-3, the Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Commission's letter orders approving the settlements do not satisfy the requirements of its regulations.
See letter from William J. Dwyer, Internal Revenue Service, to William A. Pinkerton, Manager -- Tax Services, Gulf States Utilities Company, September 22, 1987 (Attachment 2).According to the IRS, "a determination of the decommissioning cost tobe included in the cost of service must be made by [the Commission]
before the IRS can provide a schedule of ruling amounts." Id. at 2.
C C As a result, absent clarification by the Commission, Gulf States will be unable to obtain the schedule of ruling amounts it needs to take its tax deduction for decommissioning expenses.
That result would be detrimental both to Gulf States and its customers.
A simple order clarifying the Commission's earlier letter orders, however, will enable Gulf States to take V the deduction.
IV. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Gulf States respectfully asks the Commission (1) to amend each of its earlier letter orders in this docket to state expressly that yearly decommissioning costs of $112,914 are included in the settlement cost of service and (2) to include similar language in any future orders approving settlement agreements in this docket.Respectfully submitted, Cecil L.

Docket Nos. ER03-753-and ER11- -000 Dear Secretary Bose: Pursuant to section 205 of the Federal Power Act ("FPA"), 16 U.S.C. § 824d (2004), and Part 35 of the regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
("Commission")
18 C.F.R. Part 35 (2007), Entergy Services, Inc. ("ESI"), on behalf of Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. ("EGSL"), and Entergy Texas, Inc. ("ETI")' hereby submit for filing a revision to the currently-effective Service Schedule MSS-4 Agreement relating to the River Bend nuclear generating station ("River Bend").I. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION Service Schedule MSS-4 of the Entergy System Agreement relates to a unit power purchase between Entergy Operating Companies 2 and/or a sale of power purchased by an Operating Company. In an order issued on April 14, 2005, the Commission approved the current version of MSS-4.3 As a condition in its order, the Commission required ESI to file a notice with As described below, EGS-LA and ETI are expected to become public utilities on January 1, 2008 pursuant to EGS's proposed jurisdictional separation plan.2 The Operating Companies are Entergy Arkansas, Inc. ("EAI"), Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. ("EGSL"), Entergy Louisiana, LLC ("ELL"), Entergy Mississippi, Inc. ("EMI"), Entergy Texas, Inc. ("ETI") and Entergy New Orleans, Inc. .("ENO").
The generation and bulk transmission system of all of the Operating Companies is collectively referred to as the "Entergy System." Entergy Services', Inc., Ill FERC ¶ 61,035 (2005).
Hon. Kimberly Bose December 29, 2010 Page 2 the Commission within 30 days of any Operating Company's entering into any long-term transaction pursuant to Service Schedule MSS-4.'A The Commission defined "long-term" transactions as "one year or more." 5 According to the Commission, such a notice condition "will provide interested parties with the ability to identify and the opportunity to challenge the transaction under section 206 of the FPA," and is therefore a reasonable resolution of the MSS-4 settlement.
6 On March 13, 2007, in Docket Nos. EC07-66, ES07-26 and EL07-45, ESI, on behalf of Entergy Gulf States, Inc. ("EGS"), EGSL, and ETI requested authorization for EGS to implement a proposed jurisdictional separation plan ("JSP"). As a result of the JSP, EGS, a FERC-jurisdictional public utility, was restructured into two separate utilities, EGSL and ETI.By order dated July 20, 2007, the Commission authorized the JSP as consistent with the public interest under Section 203 of the Federal Power Act. See Entergy Gulf States, Inc., 120 FERC ¶61,079 (2007).River Bend was previously owned by EGS. As a result of the JSP, EGSL now owns the 70%7 regulated portion of the River Bend Station. EGSL sells a portion of this 70% regulated portion of River Bend to ETI pursuant to a MSS-4 Agreement
("River Bend MSS-4"). On October 5, 2007, in Docket No. ER08-3 1, ESI filed the River Bend MSS-4 at the Commission.
ESI originally filed the River Bend MSS-4 out of an abundance of caution because certain adjustments to the inputs into the Service Schedule MSS-4 rate were necessary to reflect the historical retail ratemaking treatment for River Bend. By unpublished letter order dated December 19, 2007, the Commission accepted the River Bend MSS-4 for filing.I1. INSTANT FILING As described above, the Commission has previously held that MSS-4 transactions need not be filed at the FERC prior to the commencement of such transactions.
8 Instead, "long-term" MSS-4 transactions must be filed at the Commission on an informational basis within 30 days of the commencement of such transactions.
In this instance, however, ESI is submitting the amended MSS-4 Agreement for River Bend between EGSL and ETI out of an abundance of 4 Id. at PP 1, 20.5 Id. at P 20.6 Id. at PP 20, 21.7. The remaining 30% share of the River Bend is not in retail rate base. This 30% share was formerly owned by Cajun Electric Power Cooperative
("Cajun").
EGSL owns this 30% share and currently sells the power associated with this share of River Bend to ELL and ENO in accordance with the Commission's order in Docket Nos.

Hon. Kimberly Bose December 29, 2010 Page 3 caution because the existing MSS-4 Agreement for River Bend is currently on file at the Commission.
On September 23, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") notified the operator of River Bend that it believed that certain language in the MSS-4 Agreement was not in compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.
Specifically, the NRC believed that the MSS-4 Agreement should contain express language that (1) payments for River Bend decommissioning costs should be made notwithstanding the operational status of River Bend, (2) payments for River Bend decommissioning costs should be made notwithstanding any force majeure provisions, and that (3) proceeds from decommissioning collections should be deposited into the external sinking fund. EGSL believes that items (1) and (2) are already addressed by the contract; and that item (3) is not an NRC regulatory requirement for the contract, and in any event is the intention of the contract and the current practice.
Nevertheless, in order to cooperate fully with the NRC, EGSL and ETI have revised the MSS-4 Agreement to incorporate provisions as suggested by the NRC.III.

EFFECTIVE DATE To the extent the Commission determines it necessary to submit the revised River Bend MSS-4 Agreement between EGSL and ETI pursuant to FPA Section 205, ESI requests that the Commission grant an effective date of January 1, 2011. ESI requests waiver of the Commission's sixty day notice requirement to allow a January 1,2011 effective date. ESI believes that such waiver is appropriate because the River Bend MSS-4 Agreement is already on file, and because the revised River Bend MSS-4 Agreement only amends that agreement to reflect minor revisions requested by the NRC.

U-31237 ENTERGY GULF STATES LOUISIANA, L.L.C.ENTERGY LOUISIANA, LLC EXPARTE Docket No. U-3123 7 In re: Joint Application of Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.LC. and Entergy Louisiana, LLC for approval of an Increase in Funding for Decommissioning for River Bend and Waterford 3 Nuclear Facilities LPSC Docket No. U-31237.(Decided at the Commission's July 28, 2010 Business and Executive Session.)Overview and Procedural History Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. ("EGSL") and Entergy Louisiana, LLC ,("ELL") (collectively "the Companies")
filed a joint Application with supporting documentation and testimony on December 29, 2009 seeking approval from the Louisiana Public Service Commission
("LPSC" or "Commission")
to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trusts maintained for the LPSC-jurisdictional portions of ELL's Waterford 3 and EGSL's River Bend nuclear generation units.' The request to increase the amounts is the result of the Nuclear Rcgulatory Commission
("NRC") notifying the Companies of "a projected shortfall of decommissioning funding assurance" at both Waterford 3 and River Bend. The filings were published in the Commission's Official Bulletin on January 8, 2010. Interventions were filed by the Louisiana Energy Users Group ("LEUG"), Marathon Oil Company ("Marathon"), ArcelorMittal LaPlace, LLC ("ArcelorMittal")
and the Alliance for Affordable Energy ("the Alliance").
This matter was assigned to Administrative Law Judge Michelle Finnegan who presided over a status conference on February 22, 2010. At the status conference, Commission Staff requested that establishing a procedural schedule be postponed until after Commission hiring of an outside consultant to assist Staff in this matter. Staff advised that a Request for Proposals had been issued on February 5, 2010, and Staff anticipated the Commission's hiring decision would occur at the Commission's March 2010 Business and Executive
("B&E"). No party opposed Staff's request. A follow up conference was scheduled for April 5. At the Commission's March 10 B&E, the Commission voted to hire the firms of Exeter Associates, Inc. and Henderson Ridge Consulting, who submitted a joint proposal.
At a status conference held April 5, the parties established a procedural schedule with hearings set for early August 2010.On May 24, 2010 the Companies filed an Unopposed Motion to Modify and Amend Procedural Schedule to postpone the schedule while the parties worked to negotiate a possible settlement or narrow issues for hearing; the motion was granted. The Companies and Staff filed, on June 24, an Unopposed Joint Motion to Suspend the Procedural Schedule.
The motion was granted, and as requested in the motion, the I Waterford 3 is a single-unit 1,152 MW nuclear steam-electric generating station located near Killona, Louisiana that was constructed by ELL's predecessor, Louisiana Power & Light Company, and began commercial operation in September 1985. Waterford 3 employs the pressurized-water-reactor design.River Bend is a single-unit 967 MW nuclear steam-electric generating station located near St.Francisville, Louisiana that was constructed by EGSL's predecessor, Gulf States Utilities Company, and began commercial operation in June 1986. River Bend employs the boiling-water-reactor design.Order No. U-31237 Page I parties were directed to file an update on the status of the case or an uncontested stipulation on or before July 9. On July 9, Staff and the Companies advised that a Settlement Term Sheet had been executed by all but one party, and that the parties planned to file the uncontested stipulation and request that a hearing be set so that this matter could be considered at the Commission's July B&E. On July 13, 2010 the parties filed a Joint Motion for the Scheduling of a Stipulation Hearing and Request for Expedited Hearing. The motion was granted and a Stipulation Hearing was convened on July 20, 2010.Commission Authority Louisiana Constitution and Statutes: The Commission exercises jurisdiction in this proceeding pursuant to Article IV, Sec. 21 of the Louisiana Constitution, and La. R.S. 45:1 163(A)(1) and La. R.S. 45:1176.La. Const. Art. IV, Sec. 21 provides in pertinent part: The Commission shall regulate all common carriers and public utilities and have such other regulatory authority as provided by law. It shall adopt and enforce reasonable rules, regulations, and procedures necessary for the discharge of its duties, and perform other duties as provided by law.La. R.S. 45:1163 provides in pertinent part: A. (1) The Commission shall exercise all necessary power and authority over any street, railway, gas, electric light, heat, power, waterworks, or other local public utility for the purpose of fixing and regulation the rates charged or to be charged by and service furnished by such public utilities.
La. R.S. 45:11.76 provides in pertinent part: The Commission..
shall investigate the reasonableness and justness of all contracts, agreements and charges entered into or paid by such public utilities with or to other persons, whether affiliated with such public utility or not.Companies'Application The Companies December 29, 2009 Joint Application requests an increase in revenues for ELL and EGSL to provide supplemental funding for the decommissioning trusts maintained for the LPSC-jurisdictional portions of ELL's Waterford 3 and EGSL's River Bend nuclear generation units. The request for increase is the result of the NRC's determination of a projected shortfall in the decommissioning funding at both Waterford 3 and River Bend.The Companies' Application proposes new revenue requirement amounts consistent with their revised decommissioning funding plans using a 40 year license and requests approval to include these revenue requirements in their 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan ("FRP") filings. ELL requests approximately
$10.336 million per year for its LPSC-jurisdictional revenue requirement in 2010 to meet the NRC minimum funding assurance of $400.2 million, which would be a $7.94 million increase over the $2.396 million in ELL's rates. For EGSL's portion of the regulated 70% share of River Bend, Order No. U-31237 Page 2 EGSL requests a revenue requirement of $9.671 million per year to meet its NRC minimum assurance of $378.8 million. Currently, EGSL has no funding in retail rates for decommissioning.
Staffs Review Commission Staff conducted a review of the Application, supporting documentation and. testimony.
Commission Staff issued data requests, reviewed those responses and conducted a series of conferences with the Companies.
Staff proposed certain adjustments to the Companies' filed calculations of their revenue requirements to update the trust fund balances, extend the funding period and modify the investment portfolio allocations.
Commission Staff and the Companies reached a stipulated agreement, taking into account Commission Staff's adjustments, that resolves all issues in this docket.Uncontested Stipulated Settlement The Companies and Staff filed on July 13, pursuant to Rule 6 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a motion for stipulation hearing, Settlement Term Sheet signed by all parties, and supporting testimony from Kenneth Gallagher for the Companies and Thomas S. Catlin and William J. Barta for Commission Staff. A stipulation hearing was held July 20. At the stipulation hearing, the Companies presented the live testimony of Mr. Gallagher and Commission Staff presented the live testimony of Mr. Catlin. In addition to live testimony, the following documents were entered into the record: Joint Staff EGSLIELL Exhibit I -Settlement Term Sheet;Staff Exhibit I- Settlement Testimony of William J. Barta, dated July 2010;Staff Exhibit 2- Settlement Testimony of Thomas S. Catlin, dated July 2010;EGSL/ELL Exhibit 1- Settlement Testimony of Kenneth F. Gallagher, dated July 9, 2010;EGSL/ELL Exhibit 2- Direct Testimony of Kenneth F. Gallagher, redacted public version, dated December 2009; and EGSUiELL Exhibit 3- Direct Testimony of Kenneth F. Gallagher, confidential version, dated December 2009.Conclusion On motion of Commissioner Campbell, seconded by Commissioner Field, and unanimously adopted, the Commission voted to accept the Staff Recommendation and adopt the uncontested stipulated Settlement Term Sheet filed into the record on July 13, 2010. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED: I. The Companies submitted a Joint Application seeking approval to provide supp!emental funding for the decommissioning trusts maintained for the LPSC's jurisdictional portions of the Waterford 3 Steam Electric Station ("Waterford 3") owned by ELL and the River Bend Station ("River Bend") owned by EGSL.Order No. U-31237 Page 3 The Companies requested increases in their respective revenue requirements to address projected shortfalls found by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") in the decommissioning funding assurance required for each facility.2. The proposed revised revenue requirement amounts are a result of the NRC notifying the Companies of the referenced projected shortfall of decommissioning funding assurance at both Waterford 3 and River Bend.Under NRC financial assurance requirements regulations found in 10 CFR 50.75(a)-(f), ELL and EGSL, as holders of nuclear operating licenses, must certify through biennial filings that available decommissioning funds are not less than the NRC's prescribed minimum amount required to fund decommissioning costs. The projected shortfalls determined by the NRC are a result of several factors, including the NRC's requirement that only the currently approved license life of forty (40) years for each unit may be used in calculating the minimum financial assurance amount. The LPSC, in prior Orders, used a sixty (60) year license life to determine the appropriate level of funding for the decommissioning trusts, based on possible license extensions that the Companies are expected to apply for in the future.3. The Companies have proposed new revenue requirement amounts consistent with their revised decommissioning funding plans using a 40 year license and requested approval to include these revenue requirements in their 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan ("FRP") filings in the manner provided for in each Company's FRP.2 ELL has requested approximately
$10.336 million per year 3 for its LPSC-jurisdictional revenue requirement in 2010 to meet the NRC minimum funding assurance of $400.2 million, which would be a $7.94 million increase over the $2.396 million in ELL's rates. For EGSL's portion of the regulated 70% share of River Bend 4 , EGSL has requested a revenue requirement of $9.671 million per year to meet its NRC minimum assurance of$378.8 million.5 Currently, EGSL has no funding in retail rates for decommissioning.
- 4. The Commission has recognized in its prior rate Orders setting decommissioning accruals for both ELL and EGSL that the decommissioning accrual issue would be revisited if the NRC notified the Companies that decommissioning funding was inadequate, Orders addressing both EGSL and ELL contain language substantially as follows: "In the event that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
("NRC") formally notifies [EGSL or ELL] or (the River Bend or Waterford 3] licensee that the decommissioning funding for[River Bend or Waterford 3] is or would become inadequate, the Company would be permitted recognition in rates of decommissioning expense at a level sufficient to address reasonably the NRC's concern as expressed in the notification." 6 2 Section 3.A.5 of the EGSL and ELL FRP Riders both contain identical language stating, in pertinent part that: "The effects of the changes in depreciation rates, and/or decommissioning accruals, increases and decreases, ordered by the LPSC, including as a result of changes in the requirement to fund the decommissioning trust that may be ordered by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission during the period that this FRP is in effect, shall be considered separately outside of the FRP mechanism." 3 The retail revenue requirement for ELL is $10.134 million.4 Thirty percent of the River Bend plant is unregulated and was acquired by EGSL from the former Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. as part of a bankruptcy reorganization.
See In Re Cajun Electric Power Cooperative, Inc., 238 B.R. 319 (M.D. La. 1999) aff'd 119 F.3" 349 (5 h Cir. 1997). The decommissioning funding for this 30% share is separately funded and is not subject to the NRC's notice of projected shortfalls in the decommissioning funding assurance and, therefore, not subject to the review being undertaken in this proceeding.
5 The $378.8 million figure represents the combined total for the River Bend regulated plant, including the Louisiana, Texas and wholesale jurisdictions.
The Louisiana retail jurisdictional share of River Bend's NRC minimum is $217.76 million.6 For EGSL and River Bend, the provision comes from Item 8 of settlement term sheet for Consolidated Order Nos. U-22491, U-23358, U-24182, U-24993, U-25687 dated January 8, 2003. For ELL and Waterford 3, the provision comes from Item 4 of the settlement term sheet for Order No. U-20925 RRF 2004 dated May 25, 2005.Order No. U-31237 Page 4
- 5. After incorporating certain adjustments to the Companies' filed calculations of their revenue requirements to update the trust fund balances, extend the funding period and modify the investment portfolio allocations, the Staff and the Companies have agreed upon new decommissioning funding requirements for both Waterford 3 and River Bend. The agreed upon decommissioning funding is intended to serve only to meet the decommissioning funding requirements on an interim basis, and the Staff and Companies agree that both the Waterford 3 and River Bend funding requirements will be re-evaluated based on site specific cost studies after ELL and EGSL, respectively, have filed for and received the NRC's responses to requests for license extensions for the two nuclear facilities.
It is recognized that there is no certainty that either ELL or EGSL will receive license extensions for their respective plants and that the LPSC may have to re-evaluate and adjust revenue requirements based on a forty (40) year life for each plant.6. The initial funding requirement of $5.947 million ($5.831 million on a retail basis) per year is appropriate.
This amount will be included in ELL's revenue requirement for the Waterford 3 decommissioning funding plan, with collections to begin with the September 2010 billing cycle rate change scheduled to occur through the implementation of ELL's 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan and further finds that these costs are to be treated as"Extraordinary Costs" and recovered outside of the earnings sharing mechanism of the Formula Rate Plan. This calculation is based on the 5-year step funding plan historically used for Waterford 3 and reflects beginning fund- balance, the investment portfolio allocations, escalation and earnings rates, 5-year funding increments, and other assumptions set forth in the Attached Exhibit A.7. For River Bend, an initial funding requirement of $7.843 million per year stepped up on a 5-year basis is appropriate7.
This amount will be included in EGSL's revenue requirement for the River Bend decommissioning funding plan, with collections to begin with the September 2010 billing cycle rate change scheduled to occur through the implementation of EGSL's 2009 Test Year Formula Rate Plan and further finds that these costs are to be treated as"Extraordinary Costs" and recovered outside of the earnings sharing mechanism of the Formula Rate Plan. This calculation is a 5-year step funding plan recommended by Staff and reflects the beginning fund balances, the investment portfolio allocations, escalation and earnings rates, 5-year funding increments, and other assumptions set forth in the Attached Exhibit B.8. The NRC financial assurance analysis is not a ratemaking adequacy test but is instead a financial adequacy test devised specifically and solely for that purpose. Thus, the financial adequacy test and the resulting implications for ratemaking can differ. Recognizing this fact, the Commission hereby allows contributions to the decommissioning trust fund during the decommissioning period to be considered for purposes of determining whether NRC financial assurance requirements are met For Waterford 3, funding is assumed to occur for the first seven years of the expected ten-year decommissioning period, consistent with the NRC's own calculation of the Waterford 3 minimum decommissioning amount. Staff also assumed funding of the trust through ratepayer contributions during the first six years of the decommissioning period for River Bend.9. The Staff's decommissioning revenue requirement developed for the River Bend nuclear facility, which is hereby adopted by the Commission, reflects the amount to fully fund the Louisiana retail jurisdictional share of the regulated 70% portion of the unit, including the portion that comprises what is known as the Deregulated Asset Plan ("DAP"). Under the provisions of LPSC Order Nos.7 For EGSL the $7.843 million amount is on a retail basis.Order No. U-31237 Page 5 U-17282 D (1/26/88) and U-17282 K (1/12/92) establishing and modifying the River Bend DAP, EGSL has the following options: (1) selling the DAP capacity to customers at a rate of 4.6 cents per kWh ($46 per MWh), recovered through the Company's Fuel Adjustment Clause, (2) in response to a bona fide offer approved by the LPSC, selling the capacity into the market and sharing proceeds with customers on a 50/50 basis for amounts in excess of 4.6 cents per kWh, or (3) if EGSL requests approval by the LPSC to sell the capacity into the market in response to a bona fide offer, ard the LPSC disapproves such off system sale, the purchase price by which the DAP capacity will be sold to customers and recovered through the Company's Fuel Adjustment Clause will be adjusted to 4.6 cents per kWh plus 50 percent of the increment above 4.6 cents per kWh offered by a third party. Seven years after the DAP was approved, in Order U-19904-C (12/29/94), the Commission determined that nuclear decommissioning costs associated with the DAP capacity should be considered to be part of the 4.6 cents per kWh rate established by the DAP instead of separately recovered from customers.
The nuclear decommissioning costs for the DAP portion of River Bend should be returned to EGSL's revenue requirement consistent with the original DAP order and collected separately, and in addition to, the 4.6 cents per kWh. EGSL agrees that as long as the DAP portion of the decommissioning revenue requirement is collected separately, and in addition to, the 4.6 cents per kWh, the Company will not sell the DAP capacity into the market and/or realize any amount in excess of 4.6 cents per kWh in the event it receives a bona fide offer by a third party, for the earlier of 1) a period of 5 years or 2) until EGSL receives a final ruling on its application for River Bend's license extension.
The LPSC and its Staff will review and re-examine allocating the DAP into rates within 5 years this Order.10. The increase in the 2010 decommissioning funding contributions of $3.55 18 million for ELL and $7.843 million for EGSL will be allocated to and recovered from each applicable rate schedule, as identified in Statement A of Rider FRP-5 for ELL and Rider FRP- I for EGSL, in proportion to base revenues before the application of the monthly fuel adjustment.
- 11. This Commission finds that the Companies have complied with, or are not in conflict with, the provisions of all applicable LPSC Orders governing the Companies Joint Application filed December 29, 2009 in this matter.12. The proposed funding amounts of this Order must be accepted by the NRC. If for any reason the NRC does not accept the proposed funding amounts set forth, the LPSC will promptly undertake to re-examine and review the funding amounts and the related issues which are the subject of a NRC refusal.13. This Commission affirms the language of its prior Orders, namely Item 8 of settlement term sheet for Consolidated Order Nos. U-22491, U-23358, U-24182, U-24993, U-25687 dated January, 8 2003 and Item 4 of the settlement term sheet for Order No. U-20925 RRF 2004 dated May 25, 2005 that in the event that the NRC formally notifies EGSL or ELL 'or the River Bend or Waterford 3 licensee that the decommissioning funding for either River Bend or Waterford 3, individually or collectively, is or would become inadequate, then ELL or EGSL or both would be permitted recognition in rates of decommissioning expense at a level sufficient to address reasonably the NRC's concern as expressed in the notification.
- 14. For ratemaking purposes the amount of the decommissioning accrual to be reflected in rates shall track, on a prospective basis, for the rate effective period, the specific annual amounts set out in the agreed upon decommissioning funding plan or any subsequent Commission-approved decommission funding plan on a monthly pro rata basis. Such derived amounts shall form the basis for 9 The retail increase is S 3.482 million.Order No. U-31237 Page 6 subsequent rate changes. To the extent that the Companies remain subject to Formula Rate Plans with scheduled rate implementations where rate changes do not occur on January 1, the Companies shall make pro forma adjustments to their Formula Rate Plan Filings reflecting any prospective changes to decommissioning accruals that would occur in the rate effective period, on a monthly pro rata basis. These pro forma adjustments shall be treated as Extraordinary Costs outside of any bandwidth sharing. In the event the Companies are no longer under Formula Rate Plans, the rate treatment of decommissioning costs will be determined by subsequent Commission Order.The Companies and the Staff reserve the right to modify this procedure upon mutual agreement if circumstances warrant.15. Except as stated herein and as set forth in prior Commission Orders, this Order, including the calculation methodology reflected in the Exhibits to this Order, shall have no precedential effect in any other proceedings involving issues similar to those resolved herein and shall be without prejudice to the right of any party to take any position on any such similar issue in future base rate proceedings, including Formula Rate Plan proceedings, or in other related regulatory proceedings or appeals.16. This Order is effective immediately.
