In Reference 1 and supplemented by References 3 and 4, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) submitted a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4. The proposed amendment would modify the TS by relocating specific surveillance frequencies to a licensee-controlled program with implementation of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 04-10, "Risk-Informed Technical Specification Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies." The changes are consistent with U.S. Nuclear Florida Power & Light Company "co 9760 SW 344 St Homestead, FL 33035 Lt4

L-2015-181 Page 2 of 3 Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved TS Task Force Standard TS change TSTF-425, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control- RITSTF [Risk-Informed TS Task Force] Initiative 5b," Revision 3.

Subsequent to submission of the referenced documents, FPL identified that several of the proposed changes to the TS require modifications or corrections. This supplement to the license amendment request (LAR) modifies and corrects several of the proposed changes. The attachment provides revised markups of the affected TS pages showing the proposed changes to the Turkey Point TS. The TS markups in this supplement supersede the corresponding markups previously submitted in References 1, 3, and 4.

" Modifications to Surveillance Requirements (SRs) for Control Rod Position Indication In Reference 4, FPL proposed deleting TS Table 4.1-1, Rod Position Indicator Surveillance Requirements, and revising SR 4.1.3.2.2 for the analog rod position indication system and SR 4.1.3.3.2 for the group step counter demand position indicator. The changes proposed in Reference 4 are deleted and replaced with those originally provided in Reference 1 where Table 4.1-1 is retained in the TS. The attachment contains a markup of the TS showing the proposed changes.

  • Modifications to SR 4.8.1.1.2i for the Diesel Generator Fuel Oil System In Reference 3, FPL revised its proposed changes so that items 1 and 2 under SR 4.8.1.1.2i have different frequencies. However, the numbering format was not adjusted to be consistent with the proposed change. To resolve this discrepancy, the attachment contains a markup of the TS showing the SRs renumbered from 4.8.1.1.2i.1 and 4.8.1.1.2i.2 to 4.8.1.1.2i and 4.8.1.1.2j, respectively.
  • TS Index The proposed changes resulted in changes to the page numbers in section 6 of the TS. As a result, the attachment contains a revised TS index that incorporates the changes to the page numbers.
  • Typographical Corrections Reference 4 discussed that it corrected two misspellings in SR 4.8.1.1.2.f. The corrections were made to SR 4.8.1.1.2.a.

The changes provided in this supplement are editorial in nature and do not alter the conclusion in the LAR that the proposed changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration.

This supplement to the LAR contains no new regulatory commitments and does not modify any existing commitments.

L-2015-181 Page 3 of 3 These changes have been reviewed by the Turkey Point Plant Nuclear Safety Committee.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91 (b)(1), a copy of this submittal is being forwarded to the designated State of Florida official.

Should you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Mitch Guth, Licensing Manager, at 305-246-6698.

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