Dear NRC Board Members:

I am writing to express my support for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station during its upcoming review by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). For roughly 20 years Paloe*ordiehas*"ibeen -operating safely and efficiently as the largest station of its kind.

Many of my constituents in Arizona, Legislative District 4 have always relied on the trustworthy service provided by APS. Palo Verde has secured its reputation as an area point of pride, in part because of the effort by APS and yourselves, the NRC, to ensure Palo Verde runs safely under national rules and regulations. The safety and efficiency of the plant stands out and has created a model which nuclear energy can be judged.

Electricity. costs are certainly.,. a,-.consideration .for ,many.businesses and homeowners relocating all over Arizona, including LD4. Palo Verde.has been an important generator of low and steady energy costs in Arizona. My constituents and their potential new neighbors care about the clean efforts of APS with plants such as Palo Verde, which keep the bottom lines on their electric bills low.

Palo Verde provides -energy ýaround ,the. southwestý and can, continue to support Arizona economically.and safely. : strongly believe&;APS will continue ,to run Palo Verde to the highest standards and provide Arizona with clean, reliable energyfor years more to come.

Sinc ely, n ative m Boone Ari ona Legisla."..tI District A3,3. . . , . ..i.. . .. . . isi. 4-D
