Subject:

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation, Entergy Nuclear Vermont Yankee, LLC, and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station License No. DPR-28 (Docket No. 50-271)

Transfer of Facility Operating License Supplement - Revised Pares Our October 5, 2001 proposed license transfer letter (BVY 01-76) contained a marked-up and re typed copy of our Facility Operating License and Technical Specification (TS) pages in, Attachments A and B of that submittal.

Since that time Vermont Yankee has received License Amendment 206, which revised several of these same pages.

This submittal provides a complete revised copy of marked-up license and TS pages to reflect incorporation of Amendment 206 as well as a re-typed copy of these pages. This is intended to replace the previously submitted mark-up and re-typed versions (Enclosure 1, Attachments A &

B) in their entirety.

Changes are being made from what was previously submitted, to incorporate Amendment 206 and include minor formatting changes for consistency and readability. Thus, no new technical changes are proposed and the original no significant hazards consideration is still valid and does not require revision.

If you have any questions concerning this transmittal, please contact Mr. Jeffrey T. Meyer at (802) 258-4105.
