SUBJECT:

OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION - CORRECTION TO EXEMPTION FROM TITLE 10 OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PART 50, APPENDIX R REQUIREMENTS (TAC NO. ME0780)

Dear Mr. Pacilio:

By letter dated March 30,2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML110700451), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approved the exemption from specific requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50, Appendix R, for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. This action was in response to the Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) application dated March 4, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML090640225), as supplemented by letter dated April 2, 2010 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100920370). The application requested an exemption from Appendix R,Section III.G, "Fire Protection of Safe Shutdown Capability," for the use of an operator manual action (OMA), in lieu of the requirements specified in Section III.G.2. The application for an exemption, as supplemented, applied to the use of OMAs on 22 plant fire areas.

The exemption was published in the Federal Register on April 7, 2011 (76 FR 19488).

Subsequent to the issuance of the exemption approval letter. dated March 30, 2011, the NRC staff noted that the descriptions in Sections 3.9.2 and 3.18.2. "Detection, Control, and Extinguishment," did not match the description in the Exelon letter dated April 2, 2010.

A copy of the Correction FR Notice for the Exemption is enclosed. It has been forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

The NRC regrets any inconvenience that these inadvertent editorial errors may have caused.

M. J. Pacilio -2 If you have any questions regarding this letter, please feel free to contact John G. Lamb, Senior Project Manager, at (301) 415-3100 or John.Lamb@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,
