Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter requests Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval of a correction of a typographical omission in the Farley Nuclear Plant (FNP) Unit 1 and Unit 2 Technical Specifications (TS).

This omission occurred during the processing of License Amendments 225 and 222 for Units 1 and 2 respectively (Reference 1), where Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.6.6.9 was inadvertently removed. SR 3.6.6.9 had previously been corrected through a reissue of the associated page for License Amendments 212 and 209 for Units 1 and 2 respectively (Reference 2). The omission was neither addressed in the notice to the public nor reviewed by the NRC, and thus falls within the scope of the guidance provided by SECY-96-238 (Reference 3).

describes the typographical omission and correction. Enclosure 2 provides the page from Amendments 225 and 222 as issued, with the requested correction noted. contains the corrected page for Amendments 225 and 222.

Description of Technical Specification Typographical Omission to NL-22-0091 Description of Technical Specification Typographical Omission

1. Requested Action

Consistent with the information contained in SECY-96-238, Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) is requesting correction of a typo graphical omission that was inadvertently introduced into the Farley Nuclear Plant (F NP) Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications (TS). The omission was introduced by SNC staff in development of the license amendment request (LAR) submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for FNP License Amendments 225 and 222 for Units 1 and 2 respectively. The page provided did not correctly reflect a TS change previously approved by the NRC with the issuance of License Amendments 212 and 209 for Units 1 and 2 respectively.

2. Typographical Omission

In the SNC application for License Amendments 225 and 222 for Units 1 and 2 respectively, Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.6.6.9 was inadvertently re moved. To be consistent with the approved licensing basis, this SR should be added back into the Technical Specifications as follows:

SR 3.6.6.9 Verify containment spray locations susceptible to gas In accordance with accumulation are sufficiently filled with water. the Surveillance Frequency Control Program

3. Correction to Affected Page

SECY-96-238 (Reference 3) provides guidance to correct in advertent typographical errors in the Technical Specifications. The omission described above was neither posted in the public notices nor was it reviewed by NRC as part of the license amendment process. Therefore, it may be corrected without a license amendment.
