SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT NO. 285 FOR UNIT 1 OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-14 AND PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT NO. 253 FOR UNIT 2 OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-22 CONSTANT PRESSURE POWER UPRATE APPLICATION -

SUPPLEMENT PLA-6324 Docket Nos. 50-387 and 50-388 Reference. 1 PLA-6076, B. T McKinney (PPL) to USNRC, "Proposed License Amendment Numbers 285for Unit 1 Operating License No. NPF-14 and 253for Unit 2 Operating License No. NPF-22 Constant Pressure Power Uprate,"

dated October 11, 2006.

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.

The purpose of this letter is to propose a regulatory commitment in support of the referenced proposed amendment. Accordingly, PPL commits to the following:

"PPL will ensure that actions required to assure consistency between the CPPU containment analysis and SSES procedures will be implemented prior to operation above the current licensed power level."

PPL has reviewed the "No Significant Hazards Consideration" and the "Environmental Consideration" submitted with Reference 1 relative to the responses. We have determined that there are no changes required to either of these documents.
