In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) is submitting a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP), Units 1 and 2.The requested amendment will adopt various previously NRC-approved Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Travelers.

TSTF Travelers are generic changes to the Improved Standard Technical Specifications.

The requested amendment will also adopt two changes not associated with Travelers.

These Travelers and other changes were chosen to increase the consistency between the FNP Technical Specifications, the Improved Standard Technical Specifications, and the Technical Specifications of the other plants in the SNC fleet. A list of the requested changes is located in Enclosure 1.Enclosure 1 provides the basis for the proposed TS change, and the Significant Hazards Consideration and Environmental Consideration determinations.

The proposed Bases changes are provided for information only. The Bases will be revised under the Technical Specification Bases Control Program following NRC approval of the proposed Technical Specification changes.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NL-14-1385 Page 2 SNC requests approval of the proposed license amendment by December 31, 2015 with the amendment being implemented within 90 days of issuance of the amendment.
