Mr. Victor Stello, Jr., Director Division of Operating Reactors U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C.

Dear Mr. Stello:
Re:
Turkey Point Units 3 and 4
Docket Nos.
50-250 and 50-251 Proposed Amendment to Facility 0 eratin Licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.30, Florida Power 5 Light Company
( FPL) submits herewith three (3) signed originals and forty (40) copies of a request to amend Appendix A of Facility Operating Licenses DPR-31 and DPR-41.
The purpose of this proposed amendment is to delete the requirements for Part-Length Rod Cluster Control Assemblies (PLRCCA's) from the Technical Specifications for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.
Because of the requirement to maintain the PLRCCA's fully withdrawn and non-scrammable, plant operation at full power is not allowed with the PLRCCA's in the core.
FPL plans to remove the PLRCCA's at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 during their respective refueling outages.
Thimble Plug Assemblies will be installed in to the locations previously occupied by the PLRCCA's to preserve the current dynamic operating characteristics of the Reactor.
We request that our proposal be approved to support startup following the upcoming refueling of Turkey Point Unit 4.
The proposed amendment is described below and shown on the accompanying Technical Specification pages bearing the date of this letter in the lower right hand corner.
A footnote, specifying that any reference to part-length rods no longer applies after the part-length rods are removed from the
- reactor, has been added to the following pages:

Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Page Two In accordance with the criteria stated in 10 CFR 170.22, FPL has'etermined that this is a Class III Amendment.
A check in the amount of $4,000 to cover the requisite amendment fee is enclosed.
Deletion of the PLRCCA's has been requested by a number of >lesti nghouse plants.
The proposed amendment has been reviewed by the Turkey Point Plant Nuclear Safety Committee and the Florida Power 8 Light Company Nuclear Review Boa'rd.
They have concluded that it does not involve an unreviewed safety question.
In addition, removal of part length rods has been approved for several operating reactors.
A Safety Evaluation is attached.
Very truly yours, Robert E. Uhrig Vice President REU/MAS/RL/cpc Attachment cc:
