UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 21, 2016 Mr. Scott D. Northard Acting Site Vice President Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power Company - Minnesota 1717 Wakonade Drive East Welch, MN 55089

SUBJECT:

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -

CORRECTION LETTER FOR AMENDMENTS 185 AND 175 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES (CAC NOS. MD5983 AND MD5984)

Dear Mr. Davison:

On June 27, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or the Commission) issued Amendment No. 185 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-42 and Amendment No. 175 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-60 for the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2, respectively (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML081650272). The amendments consisted of changes to the technical specification (TSs) regarding incorporation of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) industry travelers TSTF-479, -485, and -497.

The amendments revised the wording for TS 5.5.7, "lnservice Testing Program," on page 5.0-12. The amendments did not revise any wording for the TSs on page 5.0-11; however, in the course of issuing the revised TS pages, the word "year" was inadvertently removed from the last sentence in TS 5.5.6, "Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program," on page 5.0-11: " ... of exposed surfaces of the removed flywheels may be conducted at 20 year intervals."

This letter corrects Amendment Nos. 185 and 175 to restore TS 5.5.6 to the wording as approved in Amendment Nos. 170 and 160 when the inspection interval for TS 5.5.6, "Reactor Coolant Pump Flywheel Inspection Program," was increased from 10 years to 20 years (ADAMS Accession No. ML051510045).

The NRC staff concludes that the error was introduced during the preparation of the license amendments and is entirely editorial in nature. The proposed correction does not change any of the conclusions in the safety evaluation associated with the amendments referenced above and does not affect the associated notices to the public. Enclosed, please find the corrected replacement page.

K. Davison If you have any questions regarding this matter, please call me at (301) 415-3733.

Sincerely, Robert F. Kuntz, nior Project Manager Plant Licensin ranch 111-1 Division of erating Reactor Licensing Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-282 and 50-306
