The amendment consists of changes to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) and the COL Appendix C (and associated plant-specific Tier 1) Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria information to prescribe voltage tests in conjunction with an analysis, rather than voltage testing only.

This exemption is related to, and necessary for the granting of the license amendment, which is being issued concurrently with this exemption.

B. Whitley A copy of the related Safety Evaluation, which includes the staffs evaluation of the amendment and exemption, is also enclosed. The notice of issuance of the amendment and the exemption documents included in this letter will be published in the Federal Register.

Sincerely,

/RA/
