0 FPL Energy FPL Energy Seabrook Station Seabrook Station P.O. Box 300 Seabrook, NH 03874 (603) 773-7000 April 21, 2003 Docket No. 50-443 NYN-03032 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Re: NYN-02095 ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, D.C. 20555-0001 Seabrook Station Revision to License Amendment Request 02-03, "Changes to Technical Specifications Associated with Nuclear Instrumentation" FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC (FPLE Seabrook) has enclosed herein a revision to License Amendment Request (LAR) 02-03, NYN-02095, dated October 11, 2002. This revision withdraws the LAR 02-03 proposed change to Technical Specification (TS) Table 4.3-1 to extend the TRIP ACTUATING DEVICE OPERATIONAL TEST surveillance interval for Functional Units 16a, Turbine Trip on Low Fluid Oil Pressure; and Functional Unit 16b, Turbine Trip on Turbine Stop Valve Closure, from 31 days to 92 days. The surveillance interval for Functional Units 16a and 16b will remain as currently licensed, i.e., 31 days. TS Table 4.3-1 and its associated Table Notations have been revised accordingly to reflect the 31 day interval. The revised markup and retype pages are enclosed and supercede those submitted in LAR 02-03.

This revision to LAR 02-03 does not make any additional changes to LAR 02-03 or its conclusion. That is, the proposed changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92 and the proposed changes continue to meet the criteria of 10CFR 51.22(c)(9) for a categorical exclusion from the requirements for an Environmental Impact Statement. Therefore, this revision to LAR 02-03 will neither adversely affect nor endanger the health and safety of the general public.

Should you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Mr. James M. Peschel, Regulatory Programs Manager, at (603) 773-7194.

Very truly yours, FPL Energy Seabrook, LLC.
