Supplement, " dated December 19, 2007.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, PPL Susquehanna LLC (PPL) requested in Reference 1 approval of amendments to the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES) Unit 1 and Unit 2 Operating Licenses and Technical Specifications to increase the maximum power level authorized from 3489 Megawatts Thermal (MWt) to 3952 MWt, an approximate 13% increase in thermal power. The proposed Constant Pressure Power Uprate (CPPU) represents an increase of approximately 20% above the Original Licensed Thermal Power.

Reference 2 contained the following regulatory commitment.

"The complete verified stress report (including the results of all Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) and ASME load case analyses) will be provided to NRC by February 4, 2008. This will also serve to satisfy the currently proposed License Condition to submit the report forty-five (45) days prior to operation above CLTP conditions."
