2025, April 24, 2026, and November 25, 2027, respectively. Each unit is 
a Combustion Engineering pressurized water reactor. The station is 
located in Maricopa County, Arizona. The acceptability of the tendered 
application for docketing, and other matters including an opportunity 
to request a hearing, will be the subject of subsequent Federal 
Register notices.
