For loop find statement file name manipulation


Code:
for i in `find . -name "*.BEFORE_DISASTER_RECOVERY"`;do dir_name=`dirname $i`;file_name=`basename $i`;cd $dir_name;mv $file_name (STUCK HERE) ;pwd;cd $BASE_DIR;done

Okay, so I was able to get to this point. As you can see, I have a small for loop that searches for any files with the string BEFORE_DISASTER_RECOVERY in the file name, it then sets two variables dir_name and file_name, cd's to the dir_name directory, and then this is where I'm stuck. I need to mv $file_name to $filename minus ".BEFORE_DISASTER_RECOVERY.

I'm sure it's something simple, but this is where I'm currently stuck.
