MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO.3 - CORRECTION LEITER TO ISSUANCE OF CONFORMING AMENDMENT RE: DIRECT TRANSFER OF CENTRAL VERMONT PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATION'S INTEREST IN THE LICENSE FOR MILLSTONE POWER STATION, UNIT NO.3 TO GREEN MOUNTAIN POWER CORPORATION (TAC NO. ME8968)

Dear Mr. Heacock:

By letter dated October 3, 2012, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 254 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. NPF-49 for the Millstone Power Station, Unit NO.3 (MPS3). The amendment conformed the operating license to reflect the change of name for the co-owner licensee on the MPS3 license from "Central Vermont Public Service Corporation" to "Green Mountain Power Corporation" as a result of the merger. This amendment was in response to your application dated July 23, 2012.

The NRC staff was recently informed that page 4 of the Renewed Facility Operating License, which indicates the latest Amendment No., was inadvertently omitted from this license amendment. Please find this page enclosed.

Sincerely,

~vS~
