UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 9, 2009 Mr. Timothy J. O'Connor Site Vice President Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power - Minnesota 2807 West County Road 75 Monticello, MN 55362-9637

SUBJECT:

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GE!\IERATING PLANT (MNGP) - CORRECTION OF AN ERROR IN AMENDMENT NO. 148 REGARDING ALTERNATIVE SOURCE TERM METHODOLOGY (TAC NO. MC8971)

Dear Mr. O'Connor:

On December 7,2006, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued Amendment No. 148 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-22 for MNGP, in response to your application dated September 15, 2005, as supplemented on April 13, August 21, and August 22, 2006.

Recently, Mr. R. Loeffler of your staff pointed out an error in two of the Technical Specification (TS) pages issued by Amendment No. 148. Specifically, TS pages 3.3.7.2-1 and 3.3.7.2-2 did not exist before Amendment No. 148, but the footer of these pages erroneously indicates that these pages were previously revised by Amendment No. 146, implying that these pages existed before Amendment No. 148. The erroneous footers were inadvertently introduced when the

!\IRC staff was processing Amendment No. 148. Thus, according to the NRC's policy established by SECY-96-238 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System Accession No. 9611250030), this error can be corrected by a letter. Enclosed please find the replacement Pages 3.3.7.2-1 and 3.3.7.2-2.

This correction does not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendment. We apologize if this error had caused you any inconvenience.

Sincerely*. ~~
