Dear Sir or Madam:

During a telephone conference with Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff on April 28, 2005, regarding the referenced license amendment, the NRC staff requested that Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M) provide information regarding the end of life (EOL) moderator temperature coefficient (MTC). In accordance with this request, I&M will provide the following information pertaining to the EOL MTC conditional exemption determination:

1. A summary of the plant data used to confirm that the Benchmark Criteria of Table 3-2 of WCAP-13749-P-A, Safety Evaluation Supporting the Conditional Elimination of the Most Negative EOL Moderator Temperature Coefficient Measurement, have been met; and,

2. The Most Negative EOL Moderator Temperature Coefficient Limit Report (as found in Appendix D of WCAP-13749-P-A).

This information will be provided to the NRC staff no later than 60 days after the performance of the conditional EOL MTC elimination determination for the next three uses (i.e. fuel cycles) of this methodology for both Unit 1 and Unit 2.
