CORRECTION' OF EXEMPTION 1.
The Florida Power Corporation, et. al. (FPC or the beensee) is the holder of Facility Operating License No. DPR-72, which authorizes operation of Crystal River Unit 3. The license provides that the licensee is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) now or hereafter in effect.
The facility consists of a pressurized-water reactor at the licensee's site located in

Citrus County, Florida.

With respect to certain generic issues for facilities operating prior to January 1,1979, except to the extent set forth in 10 CFR 50.48(b),10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, sets forth fire protection features required to satisfy general design Criterion 3 of the Commission's regulations. On October 29,1997, the NRC granted to the licensee an exemption from certain of thes'e requirements. By letter dated March 25,1998, as revised March 27,1998, the licensee informed the NRC that the exemption contained errors primarily regarding the designations of fire zones and fire areas and requested that the exemption be reissued to correct the errors.

The NRC has reviewed the proposed corrections submitted by the licensee and concludes that the requested corrections to the exemption are appropriate. The specific corrections are as follows:
1.
In Section lil, page 3, change lines 5 and 6 to read "...suxiliary building fire zones AB 3B and G, AB-119-6A (elevations 95 and 119) and the intermediate building fire zones IB-119-201 A and IB-119-201B (elevation 119)." In Section IV, page 9, change lines 3 and 4 to read "... fire zones AB-95 3B and G, AB-119-6A (elevations 95 and 119) and the intermediate building fire zones IB-119-201 A and IB-119-201B (elevation 119), would provide...." A fire zone is a subpart of a fire area and is designated by the addition of a letter identifier. Thus, fire zone AB-95-38 is a part of fire area AB-95-3. The staff inadvertently used the terminology for a fire crea when listing the fire zones for which an exemption had been requested, and thus the correction to change the wording to fire zone is appropriate. In addition, in the list of fire zones for which the exemption applied, the staff inadvertently omitted fire zone 1B-119-201B. An exemption for this fire zone was requested by the licensee, was discussed in the Safety Evaluation (SE) supporting the exemption, and approved by the staff. Therefore, correcting the wording to include fire zone IB-119-201B in the list of fire zones is appropriate.
l 2.
In Section lil, page 3, change the 5* line from bottom of page to read, " Auxiliary building i
hallway AB-95-3B." Due to a typographical error the fire zone identification for the auxiliary building hallway was identified as AB 95-3BA. The correct designation is AB-95-38.
3.
In Section ill, page 5, change line 1 to read " Auxiliary building hallway AB-119-6A." The I
I discussion of fire zone AB-119-6A was inadvertently labeled as AB-95-3G. Fire zone AB-l
(
a 3
i l
AB-95-3G was discussed in the previous paragraph of the SE. The description of the fire zone in this paragraph is for fire zone AB-119-6A. Therefore, the change to I
l accurately reflect the correct fire zone is appropriate.
1 l
4.
In Section lil, page 5, change the 8* line from bottom of page to read "This zone i
connects the industrial cooler room to the auxiliary building..." Fire zone IB-119-201 A is a corridor which connects the industrial cooler room to the auxiliary building. Due to a typographical error, the words were transposed to read industrial room cooler.
Therefore, the correction of the wording is appropriate.
IV.
In consideration of the foregoing, the Commission hereby corrects the specific exemption from 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Section lit. G, granted on October 29,1997, for Crystal River Unit 3, as reflected above.
This Correction of Exemption is effective upon issuance.
FOR THE NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION ah actor Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 10tgay of February 1999.
