NPF-63 SUPPLEMENT TO REQUEST FOR LICENSE AMENDMENT TO RELOCATE AND REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 4.0.5

Reference:

1. Letter from R. J. Duncan, II to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Serial:

HNP-07-005), "Request for License Amendment To Relocate and Revise Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirement 4.0.5," dated June 15, 2007

2. Letter from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to the Technical Specification Task Force (ML062780321), dated October 4, 2006 Ladies and Gentlemen:

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.90, Carolina Power and Light Company, doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., submitted the above License Amendment Request for the Harris Nuclear Plant (HINP) (Reference 1). In that request, dated June 15, 2007, the "Inservice Testing Program" and "Technical Specifications (TS) Bases Control Program" were incorrectly designated as sections 6.8.4.1 and 6.8.4.m, respectively, on pages 6-19d and 6-19e of the, , "Revised Technical Specification (TS) Pages".

This transmittal provides the new pages with the correct identification sequences, 6.8.4.m

("Inservice Testing Program") and 6.8.4.n ("Technical Specification (TS) Bases Control Program"). Please note that the changes in page numbers from 6-19d to 6-19g ("Inservice Testing Program") and from 6-19e to 6-19h ("Technical Specification (TS) Bases Control Program") are due to the incorporation of TS pages from the recent implementation of Amendment No. 124.

Subsequent to the submittal of this License Amendment Request (LAR), the Nuclear Regulatory C6immission provided industry feedback noting that plant specific adoption of TSTF-479 would require the addition of a caveat that Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.0.2 (HNP's SR 4.0.2) only apply to Frequencies in the IST Program of 2 years or less. This caveat was included in TSTF-497, Revision 0, "Limit Inservice Testing Program Application to Frequencies of 2 Years or Less," as approved by the NRC (Reference 2).

P.O.

Box 165 New Hill, NC 27562 T> 919.362.2502 F> 919.362.2095

HNP-08-019 Page 2 Therefore, this supplement to the original June 15, 2007, LAR proposes that this clarified terminology in TSTF-497, Revision 0 be incorporated into HNP's TS 6.8.4.m.

Carolina Power and Light Company, doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., has determined that this supplemental LAR does not change the conclusions from the original submittal that there are no significant hazards considerations. Additionally, categorical exclusion from the environmental review pursuant to the provision to 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) remains appropriate.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(b), a copy of this application, with attachments, is being provided to the designated representative for the State of North Carolina.

No new regulatory commitments are made as part of this document.

Please refer any question regarding this submittal to D. H. Corlett at (919) 362-3137.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on

[ MAR 06 2008 ].
