Dear Administrative Judges:

Pursuant to the Boards Order of August 5, 2010 (Scheduling Initial Scheduling Conference),

this letter informs the Board of the NRC Staffs current milestone schedule for the Diablo Canyon Units 1 and 2 license renewal safety evaluation and environmental review. In light of PG&Es status report filed with the Board on January 10, 2012 the Staff expects to finalize its safety and environmental reviews, to include issuance of the final supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) and any necessary supplements to the safety evaluation report or SEIS, between May 2014 and August 2014. This estimate is based on the applicant issuing its final report on the seismic studies by November 2013, as stated in PG&Es January 10, 2012 update.

Sincerely, Signed (electronically) by
