1. Letter from Dave T. Gudger (Exelon Generation Company, LLC) to U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission, License Amendment Request -

Application to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt TSTF-582, Revision 0 Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control (RPV WIC)

Enhancements dated April 16, 2021.

2. E-mail from Justin Poole (Nuclear Regulatory Commission Project Manager for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant) to Christian Williams (Exelon Nuclear Principal Licensing Engineer) titled Items the staff noticed while reviewing TSTF-582 LAR dated August 11, 2021.

By letter dated April 16, 2021, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted a license amendment request to revise Technical Specifications (TS) to Adopt TSTF-582 Revision 0, Reactor Pressure Vessel Water Inventory Control (RPV WIC) Enhancements.

By electronic mail dated August 11, 2021 (Reference 2), the NRC identified areas where corrections to the submitted TS Markup pages were necessary to complete the review. These corrections were discussed with the NRC Staff in a clarification call held on August 12, 2021. It was agreed that corrected TS Markup pages would be submitted in the form of this supplement. to this letter contains the superseded TS Markup pages followed by the corrected TS Markup pages which will replace the corresponding TS Markup pages provided in the original submittal.

Supplement to Application to Adopt TSTF-582, Revision 0 September 3, 2021 Page 2 Exelon has reviewed the information supporting a finding of no significant hazards consideration and the environmental consideration provided to the NRC in Reference 1. The information attached to this letter does not affect the bases for concluding that the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration. Furthermore, the information attached to this letter does not affect the bases for concluding that neither an environmental impact statement nor an environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

There are no commitments contained in this response.

If you should have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Christian Williams at 610-765-5729.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

Executed on the 3rd day of September 2021.
