Reference 3 provided FPL's response to the NRC request for additional information in Reference 2.

During review of the proposed TS changes, an administrative oversight was identified within the surveillance requirements invoking the proposed Snubber Testing Program. The corrected TS Markups and TSs supersede those in References 1 and 3 above and are provided in the Attachment.

The no significant hazards consideration determination within Reference I bounds the scope of these changes.
