Dear Mr. Gatlin:

In order to complete the review, the NRC staff has determined that additional information is needed as follows:

For Relief Request RR-4-01, 1ST Pump and Valve Surveillance Requirements, is it your intent to adopt, as an alternative to the OM Code requirements, the exact wording of Code Case OMN-20, Inservice Test Frequency, as published in ASME OM-2012? The Relief Request RR-4-01 wording in the referenced letter is similar, but not exactly the same as OMN-20.

Please provide a response within 30 days of the issuance of this letter.

Sincerely io~Se~Manager Plant Licensing Branch 11-1 Division of Operating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket No. 50-395 cc w/encl: Distribution via Listserv
