UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 25, 2014 Mr. C. R. Pierce Regulatory Affairs Director Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc.

SUBJECT:

VOGTLE ELECTRIC GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2- CORRECTED-REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (TAC NOS. ME9555 AND ME9556)

Dear Mr. Pierce:

By letter dated June 9, 2014, (Agehcywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML14132A313), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff requested additional information (RAI) on the license amendment request to modify the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Technical Specifications (TS) requirements to permit the use of risk informed completion times. In making changes from the draft version of the RAis (ADAMS Accession No. ML14148A378), RAI 19 was inadvertently deleted and RAI 18 was entered incorrectly. The correct version of RAI 18 and RAI 19 are as follows:

18. Scope of Equipment It is understood that some components or equipment may not be considered for a risk-informed completion time (RICT) calculation, i.e., not within the scope of the RICT program.

Please explain if there are certain types of equipment which the licensee considers to be outside the scope of the RICT program (e.g., fire protection equipment, seismic-related equipment such as snubbers, etc.).

19. Scope of the Implementation and Monitoring Program The implementation and monitoring program described in Regulatory Guide 1.177, "An Approach for Plant-Specific, Risk-Informed Decisionmaking: Technical Specifications,"

Revision 1, includes maintenance rule control forTS equipment affected by the TS change.

Please provide assurance that the proposed TS limiting condition for operation (LCO) equipment for the RICT program is covered under the licensee's maintenance rule program.

C. R. Pierce Your staff was advised of this change and the need to correct the RAison June 16, 2014.

Sincerely, IJ / .-~--n~
