UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 13, 2017 Mr. Peter A. Gardner Site Vice President Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power Company - Minnesota (NSPM) 2807 West County Road 75 Monticello, MN 55362-9637

SUBJECT:

MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT-CORRECTION OF AMENDMENT NO. 192, ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT 3.8.4.2 (CAC NO. MF7576)

Dear Mr. Gardner:

By letter dated February 27, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17013A435) the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 192 to Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-22 for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The amendment consists of changes to the technical specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated April 4, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16099A097). The amendment revises TSs surveillance requirement (SR) associated with TS 3.8.4, "DC [direct current] Sources - Operating." Specifically, the amendment revises SR 3.8.4.2 by increasing the 125 Volt DC battery charger test output current to 75 amperes (amps) from the current test level of 50 amps, and removes the second (alternate) method specified to perform the SR.

Amendment No. 192 was effective as of February 27, 2017. The application dated April 4, 2016, requested an implementation period of 120 days from the date of issuance. During a conversation between Mr. Rick Loeffler of your staff and the NRC staff it was noted that page 2 of the amendment authorization letter for DPR-22 stated an incorrect implementation period of 30 days. The NRC staff concludes that the error was inadvertently introduced during the preparation of the license amendment. To correct the error, a revised copy of page 2 of the amendment authorization letter for DPR-22 is enclosed. Please replace page 2 of the amendment authorization letter for DPR-22 that was issued by letter dated February 27, 2017, with the enclosed page.

These administrative errors do not affect the NRC staffs overall conclusions associated with approval of Amendment No. 192. The changes are within the scope of the application as originally noticed in the Federal Register on June 7, 2016 (81 FR 36621 ).

P. Gardner If you have any questions, please call me at 301-415-3733 or via e-mail at Robert.Kuntz@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

-,/
