COLUMBIA GENERATING STATION LICENSE RENEWAL (LOG NO. 121007-20-NRC)

Dear Dr. Whitlam:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) would like to thank you for your letter dated September 1, 2011, sent in response to the NRC's request for comments concerning the proposed license renewal of Columbia Generating Station and the associated environmental review. The NRC appreciates your office taking the time to review the draft supplemental environmental impact statement regarding Columbia Generating Station and for submitting comments.

Regarding your comments related to the development of the training agendas and the Cultural Resources Protection Plan (CRPP), the NRC has forwarded your comments to Energy Northwest and has encouraged Energy Northwest to coordinate with your office and the tribes regarding revisions to the CRPP and the development of cultural resource awareness training.

You requested that the NRC forward correspondence and comments from concerned tribes or other parties to your office. Enclosed you will find comments submitted by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and the NRC's response.

The NRC will continue to keep your office informed should additional information become available that may cause the NRC to revise our assessment. Again, thank you for your comments. These and other comments received during the public comment period will be addressed in the final supplemental environmental impact statement which is scheduled to be published in April 2012.

R. Whitlam -2 If you need additional information regarding this process or this letter, please contact Daniel Doyle, environmental project manager, at 301--415-3748 or by email at DanieI.Doyle@nrc.gov.

Sincerely, flU/A, foz David J. wroVChief Projects Branch 2 Division of License Renewal Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-397
