Document Control Desk Page 2 Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) Units 1 and 2. 10 CFR 54.21(b) requires that each year following submittal of the license renewal application, and at least three months before scheduled completion of the NRC review, an amendment to the renewal application must be submitted that identifies any change to the current licensing basis (CLB) of the facility that materially affects the contents of the LRA, including the Updated Safety Analysis Report supplement. Annual updates for 2009 and 2010 were submitted in References 2 and 3, respectively. This letter provides the annual update for 201 1.

A review of the PINGP CLB changes since the last LRA annual update (Reference 3) has been completed. No CLB changes that materially affect the contents of the LRA were identified. Therefore, there is no LRA revision associated with this annual update.

If there are any questions or if additional information is needed, please contact Mr.

Eugene Eckholt, License Renewal Project Manager.

Summary of Commitments This letter contains no new commitments and no revisions to existing PINGP License Renewal commitments as previously submitted.

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