Dear Siirs:
Subject:
Supplement to Provide Updated Technical Specification Pages for the Proposed Operating license Amendment Submitted to the NRC on March 4, 2005 (letter no. 102-05223)
In the referenced letter, Arizona Public Service Company (APS) submitted to NRC a request to amend PVNGS Technical Specifications (TS). Since that submittal, the NRC issued Amendment No. 156 to PVNGS Units 1, 2, and 3. That resulted in the need to update a TS page in the referenced letter. In addition, four of the submitted pages have editorial errors that should be corrected prior to issue of the proposed amendment.
Enclosed are revised proposed retyped -rs pages 2.0-1, 3.7.3-1, 3.8.4-2, 3.8.4-4, and 5.5-15. These pages include the changes proposed in the referenced letter amendment request and the changes approved in Amendment No. 156. No new TS changes are being proposed by this letter. Please use these pages in place of the pages submitted in the referenced TS amendment request letter.
