By letter dated June 28, 2017 (Reference 1), Duke Energy Progress, LLC (Duke Energy),

submitted a License Amendment Request (LAR) proposing changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant, Unit 1 (HNP). The proposed amendment would modify the TS for fuel storage criticality to account for the use of Metamic neutron absorbing spent fuel pool rack inserts and soluble boron for the purpose of criticality control in the Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) storage racks that currently credit Boraflex.

Please utilize this corrected reference information in place of that in the original submittal.
