Reference:

Letter from Mohan C. Thadani to Edward D. Halpin dated October 31, 2008, "South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2 - Issuance of Amendments to Relocate Surveillance Test Intervals to Licensee-Controlled Program (Risk-Informed Initiative 5-b) (TAC Nos. MD7058 and MD7059)" (ML082830172)

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued amendments 188/175 referenced above to Operating Licenses NPF-76 and NPF-80 for implementation at South Texas Project Units 1 and

2. STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) subsequently identified administrative errors on four pages in which changes incorporated by previous amendments were not carried over to amendments 188/175, as well as a typographical error on an additional page. STPNOC requests that the affected pages be re-issued with the errors corrected as incorporated on the attached pages.

There are no new commitments in this letter.

If there are any questions or if additional information is needed, please contact either Mr. Ted Koser at (361) 972-8963 or me at (361) 972-7298.
