Supplement to License Amendment Request 1-110-01, APPLICATION FOR TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REGARDING RISK-INFORMED JUSTIFICATION FOR THE RELOCATION OF SPECIFIC SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY REQUIREMENTS TO A LICENSEE CONTROLLED PROGRAM (1) Letter from PSEG to NRC, "Application for Technical Specification change regarding risk-informed justification for the relocation of specific surveillance frequency requirements to a licensee controlled program," dated March 19, 2010 (ML100900224)

(2) Letter from PSEG to NRC, "Response to Request for Additional Information-Risk Informed Justification for the Relocation of Specific Surveillance Frequency Requirements to a Licensee Controlled Program," dated July 28, 2010 (ML102230417)

(3) Email from NRC to PSEG, "Request for Camera Ready Pages - Hope Creek TSTF-425," dated November 22, 2010 In Reference 1, PSEG Nuclear LLC (PSEG) submitted a license amendment request for Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS). The request would modify HCGS Technical Specifications (TS) by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program, with the implementation of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, "Risk Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies."

PSEG requested that the proposed license amendment be approved by the NRC by March 31, 2011 with a 120 day implementation period. In Reference 2, PSEG responded to the NRC's request for additional information regarding the license amendment request. In Reference 3, the NRC requested camera-ready pages. While PSEG was reviewing the significant number of technical specification pages affected by this change, a few editorial corrections were identified.

By this letter, PSEG is submitting page corrections to the NRC for review. The revised pages are editorial in nature and do not modify the intent of the license amendment request.

95-2168 REV. 7/99

PSEG has reviewed the information supporting a finding of no significant hazards consideration that was provided to the NRC in Reference 1. The additional information provided in this letter does not affect the conclusion that the proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

There are no regulatory commitments contained in this submittal.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Erin West at (856) 339-5411.

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