NRC letter November 23, 2015, "Request for Additional Information RE: License Amendment Request for Changes to the Required Actions for Inoperability of Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps (CAC Nos. MF6491 and MF6492)," ADAMS Accession No. ML15308A615 In Reference 1 Florida Power & Light (FPL) submitted a Technical Specification (TS) amendment request that would standardize the TS LCO actions for inoperable auxiliary feedwater pumps.

Reference 2 identified an administrative oversight within the proposed TS surveillance requirements. The corrected TS markups and TSs supersede those in References 1 above and are provided in the attachment.

The no significant hazards consideration determination within Reference 1 bounds the scope of these changes. If you should have any questions, please contact Mr. Ken Frehafer at (772) 467-7748.
