~~~Prairie Island Nuclear Generabng Plant Commmed to cerie Operated by Nuclear Management Company, LLC L-PI-03-062 July 16, 2003 10 CFR 50.90 GL 99-02 U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTN: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT DOCKETS 50-282 AND 50-306 LICENSE Nos. DPR-42 AND DPR-60 SUPPLEMENT TO LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST (LAR) DATED FEBRUARY 11, 2003, TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 5.5.9, VENTILATION FILTER TESTING PROGRAM (VFTP)" ENHANCEMENTS By letter dated February 11, 2003, the Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) submitted an LAR titled, Technical Specification 5.5.9, 'Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP)' Enhancements" which proposed changes to the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Operating License Additional Conditions and to the VFTP.

NMC, in a phone call with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Staff, indicated that a supplement to the subject LAR would be submitted to withdraw revision of the allowable filtration penetration and system bypass. By this supplemental letter, NMC withdraws the proposed revision of the filtration penetration and system bypass limit from 0.05% to 0.5%. NMC continues to request all other VFTP and License Additional Condition changes proposed in the original submittal dated February 11, 2003. NMC submits this supplement in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90.

The NRC noted in the phone call that the parenthetical phrase, "for DOP, particles having a mean diameter of 0.7 microns" was deleted from TS paragraph 5.5.9.b.

Current TS include this phrase in both TS paragraphs 5.5.9.a and 5.5.9.b. This phrase is appropriate in TS paragraph 5.5.9.a because this paragraph addresses DOP testing requirements. TS paragraph 5.5.9.b does not address DOP testing and thus this parenthetical phrase is not appropriate and is proposed to be removed from TS paragraph 5.5.9.b.

The proposed changes, which NMC continues to request, are shown in the revised Exhibit B and Exhibit C, attached. The only difference from the original submittal is that 0.5% in paragraphs 5.5.9.a and 5.5.9.b has been restored to 0.05%.

USNRC NUCLEAR MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC L-PI-03-062 Page 2 This supplement withdraws the Determination of No Significant Hazards Consideration presented in the original February 11, 2003 submittal related to revision of the allowable filtration penetration and system bypass. The supplemental information provided in this letter does not impact the conclusions of the Determination of No Significant Hazards Consideration and Environmental Assessment presented In the original February 11, 2003 submittal related to the other VFTP and License Additional Condition changes which NMC continues to request.

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

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, NMC is notifying the State of Minnesota of this LAR supplement by transmitting a copy of this letter and attachments to the designated State Official.

Please address any comments or questions regarding this LAR supplement to Mr. Dale Vincent at 1-651-388-1121.
