2. SECY-96-238, Proposed Guidance for Correction of Technical Specification Typographical Errors, SECY-96-238, dated November 19, 1996 This letter requests NRC approval of a correction regarding a typographical error in the South Texas Project Technical Specifications which was inadvertently introduced during License Amendment Nos. 188 and 175 (Reference 1). The Proposed amendment submitted on October 23, 2007 (ML073050348) reviewed by the NRC contained the (+/-) symbol preceding 4.5 Hz; (4)(5)in Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.(e).2. The typographical error was introduced during the submittal of the clean page 3/4 8-4 later issued as Amendments 188 for Unit 1 and 175 for Unit 2.

The typographical error was not addressed in the notice to the public nor reviewed by the NRC and falls within the scope of the guidance provided in SECY-96-238 (Reference 2) for corrections.

Attachment 1 describes the typographical error and correction. Attachment 2 provides a corrected Technical Specification page. STP Nuclear Operating Company (STPNOC) will issue change notifications to all holders of controlled copies of the South Texas Project Technical Specifications upon receipt of NRC approval of this correction.

There are no commitments in this letter.

Attachment I Description of Technical Specification Typographical Error

NOC-AE-14003115 Attachment 1 Page 1 of 1 Description of Technical Specification Typographical Error A. REQUESTED ACTION Consistent with the information contained in SECY-96-238, STPNOC is requesting a correction to an inadvertent typographical error that was introduced into the STP Technical Specifications.

B. TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR A typographical error was inadvertently introduced into the STP Technical Specification during the processing of License Amendment Nos. 188 and 175 (Reference 1). The specifics of this error and proposed correction are described below.

TS page 3/4.8-4 A typographical error was introduced during the submittal of the clean page for page 3/4 8-4 issued as Amendments 188 for Unit 1 and 175 for Unit 2. The Proposed amendment submitted on October 23, 2007 (ML073050348) reviewed by the NRC contained the (+/-) symbol preceding 4.5 Hz; (4)(5)in Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.(e).2.

This typographical error was not addressed in the notice to the public nor approved by the NRC during review and approval of Amendments 188 and 175.

The above error was discovered during the use of applicable specifications. This typographical error did not cause any safety issues. provides the corrected Technical Specification page 3/4 8-4.

C. CORRECTIONS TO THE AFFECTED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION PAGE SECY-96-238 (Reference 2) provides guidance to correct inadvertent typographical errors in the Technical Specification pages.

The above typographical error was not noticed to the public nor reviewed by the NRC as part of the applicable amendment process. Therefore it may be corrected without a license amendment.

Accordingly, upon approval from the NRC, the corrected Technical Specification page 3/4 8-4 will be distributed to all holders of controlled Technical Specifications.
