Dear Mr. Schimmel:

On June 21, 2010, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 196 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-42 and Amendment No.185 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-60 for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, respectively. These amendments consisted of changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated November 4, 2008, as supplemented by letters dated August 10, 2009, and March 30, 2010.

Following issuance of the amendments, the NRC staff discovered that the August 10, 2009, and March 30, 2010, supplemental letters submitted by Northern States Power Company Minnesota, in support of the amendment request, were not identified on the amendment pages.

These amendment pages have been corrected to include the identification of these letters. The corrections are indicated by line bars in the margins.

M. Schimmel -2 Corrected amendment pages for both units are enclosed. The corrections do not change the approval conveyed by the amendments, or the conclusions reached by the associated safety evaluation. We regret any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at (301) 415-4037.

Sincerely,
