Dear Mr. Campbell:

By letter dated June 24, 2004, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA, the licensee) submitted an amendment request for Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN), Unit 2 and 3, as supplemented by letters dated August 23, 2004, February 23, April 25, June 6, and December 19, 2005, February 1 and 28, March 7, 9, 23 and 31, April 13, May 5 and 11, June 12, 15, 23 and 27, July 6, 21, 24, 26, and 31, December 1, 5, 11 and 21, 2006, January 31, February 16, and 26, and April 6, 18 and 24, March 6, July 27, August 13, and 21, September 24, November 15 and 21, and December 14, 2007; January 25, February 11 and 21, March 6, April 4 and 9, May 1, and June 16, 2008. The proposed amendment would change the BFN operating licenses for Units 1 and 2 to increase the maximum authorized power level by approximately 15 percent.

Sincerely,
