U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission CNL-17-067 Page 2 June 29 , 2017 The following pages are affected: BFN , Unit 1, TS pages 5.0-12 and 5.0-13 BFN , Unit 2, TS pages 5.0-12 and 5.0-13 BFN , Unit 3, TS pages 5.0-1 2 and 5.0-13 The proposed change for each Unit on page 5.0-12 is to include the word " (Deleted)" in the title of TS Section 5.5.6. The proposed change for each Unit on page 5.0-13 is to remove the unused Section number and include the phrase " This page intentionally left blank." Enc l osure 1 to this letter contains the revised proposed TS pages (mark-up version) for BFN , Un i ts 1, 2, and 3. Enclosure 2 to this letter contains revised proposed TS pages listed above (c l ean version) for BFN, Units 1, 2, and 3. The differences between the proposed revised TS pages included in this letter and the proposed TS pages from the referenced applicat i on are minor and administrative in nature. The diffe r ences do not affect the description and assessment of the proposed TS changes included as Enclosure 1 to the referenced application.
All other proposed TS changes i ncluded in the referenced appl i cation are unaffected by these differences. Consistent with the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), TVA has determ i ned that the revised proposed TS pages do not affect the no significant hazards cons i deration determination associated with the referenced application. There are no new regulatory commitments associated with this submittal.
If you should have any questions regarding this submittal , please contact Ed Schrull at (423) 751-3850. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 29th day of June 2017. Sincerely , Joseph W. Shea Vi ce President
