Dear Sirs:
Subject:
Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS)
Units 1, 2, and 3 Docket Nos. STN 50-52815291530 Correction to Amendment Request for Adoption of TSTF-51 1, Revision 0, "Eliminate Working Hour Restrictions from Technical Specification 5.2.2 to Support Compliance with 10 CFR Part 26" By letter no. 102-06011, dated May 28, 2009 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System [ADAMS] Accession No. ML091560229), Arizona Public Service Company (APS) submitted a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications for PVNGS Units 1, 2, and 3 to delete portions of Technical Specifications superseded by 10 CFR Part 26, Subpart I. APS subsequently determined that a correction to the original License Amendment Request was necessary in Technical Specification 5.2.2.
Specifically, a reference in Technical Specification section 5.2.2.b was corrected to reflect the re-numbering of section 5.2.2.f to section 5.2.2.e.
APS is providing corrected marked-up Technical Specification pages (Attachment 1) and the retyped Technical Specification page (Attachment 2). This change is editorial and, therefore, the No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination provided in the original amendment request remains valid and is not changed by this correction.
This letter contains no regulatory commitments.
In accordance with the PVNGS Quality Assurance Program, the Plant Review Board and the Offsite Safety Review Committee have reviewed and concurred with this corrected amendment request. By copy of this letter, this submittal is being forwarded to the Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency (ARRA) pursuant to 10CFR 50.91(b)(1).
