10 CFR 50.90 L-2014-060 MAR 2 6 2014 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn.: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Re: Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251 Withdrawal of License Amendment Request No. 212: Potential Non-Conservative Action and Surveillance Requirement in Technical Specification 3.5.2 on ECCS Subsystems

References:

(1) Florida Power & Light Company letter L-2012-368, "License Amendment Request No. 212 Regarding Potential Non-Conservative Action and Surveillance Requirement in Technical Specification 3.5.2 on ECCS Subsystems," dated October 30, 2012.

(2) Email from Audrey Klett, NRC Project Manager for Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, to Turkey Point Licensing Department, "Request for Additional Information (RAI) for Turkey Point LAR 212 (TACs MF0084 and MF0085)," dated November 7, 2013.

In Reference 1, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) applied for changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) contained in Appendix A to the Renewed Operating Licenses for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, DPR-31 and DPR-41 respectively. The proposed changes concern Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) TS 3/4.5.2, ECCS Subsystems - Tayg Greater Than or Equal To 350'F and TS 3/4.8.1.1, Electrical Power Systems - A.C. Sources - Operating.

FPL submitted the Reference I application to address nonconservative TS contained in TS 3/4.5.2. In addition, changes were proposed to TS 3/4.8.1.1 and TS 3/4.5.2 to address overlapping requirements for electrical power supply to the high head safety injection pumps. The NRC staff forwarded to FPL a Request for Additional Information (RAI) via Reference 2 regarding the FPL application. As a result of subsequent discussions with the NRC staff regarding the RAI and proposed TS changes, FPL is withdrawing the Reference 1 application to restructure the request and proposed changes. FPL will submit a revised application at a later date.

In the interim, until the non-conservative TS are revised, compensatory administrative controls will remain in place.

This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing commitments.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1), a copy of this letter is being forwarded to the State Designee of Florida.
