ATTACHMENT 1 DESCRIPTION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

1. Requested Action Consistent with the information contained in SECY-96-238, River Bend Station is requesting correction of typographical errors that were inadvertently introduced into Appendix C "Antitrust Conditions", within the station's Facility Operating License. These errors were inadvertently introduced by Entergy staff during the development of marked up pages as supplied to NRC for issuance with the amendment. The errors result from an omission of marked up changes to the company name within Appendix C of the Facility Operating License. The requested corrections are intended to restore the affected pages to the condition intended by the amendment applications.

2. Typographical Errors The specific details of the typographical errors are as follows:

Facility Operating License No. NPF-47, Appendix C, Antitrust Conditions, pages 1, 2, 3, and 4 Amendment No. 189 approves name change from Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, LLC to Entergy Louisiana, LLC for the River Bend Facility Operating License.

Each reference to Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, LLC within Appendix C should also be changed to Entergy Louisiana, LLC

3. Corrections to Affected Pages SECY-96-238 provides guidance to correct inadvertent typographical errors in the Technical Specifications. The errors described above were neither posted in the public notices nor were they reviewed by NRC as part of the license amendment process.

Therefore, they may be corrected without a license amendment.

(4) Entergy Gulf Statcz Louisiana, LLC and the other entity(ies) which is (are) party(ies) to a reserve sharing arrangement shall from time to time jointly establish the minimum reserves to be installed and/or provided as necessary to maintain in total a reserve margin sufficient to provide adequate reliability of power supply to the interconnected systems of the parties, consistent with good utility industry practice in the region.
