4. Ameren Missouri letter ULNRC-05821 dated October 27, 2011 In Reference 1 above, Ameren Missouri submitted an application for amendment to Facility Operating License Number NPF-30 for the Callaway Plant. Per that amendment application changes are being proposed to Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.8, "Emergency Exhaust System (EES) Actuation Instrumentation," that would add new Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.3.8.6. The new SR would require the performance of response time testing on the portion of the EES required to isolate the normal fuel building ventilation exhaust flow path and initiate the fuel building ventilation isolation signal (FBVIS) mode of operation.

In Reference 2 above, Ameren Missouri provided responses to an NRC staff request for additional information (RAI) during the review ofReference 1.

ULNRC-05832 December 13, 2011 Page2 In Reference 3 above, the NRC issued Callaway License Amendment No. 202 which approved the creation of a Surveillance Frequency Control Program (SFCP) with regard to the applicable Surveillance Requirement frequencies specified in the Technical Specifications. The changes approved in Amendment No. 202 were based on TSTF-425-A, Revision 3, "Relocate Surveillance Frequencies to Licensee Control- RITSTF Initiative 5b," and NEI 04-10, Revision 1, "Risk-Informed Technical Specifications Initiative 5b, Risk-Informed Method for Control of Surveillance Frequencies." Those industry documents justify the relocation of all periodic Surveillance Frequencies from the Technical Specifications and placing the Frequencies under licensee control in accordance with a new program, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

In Reference 4 above, Ameren Missouri requested that the specified Frequency for new SR 3.3.8.6 also be covered under the SFCP since the new surveillance is of a recurring, periodic nature and does not meet any exclusion criteria in the above industry documents. The initial surveillance test interval (STI) for new SR 3.3.8.6 prior to the first application of the NEI 04-10 process will be 18 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. This SFCP request is consistent with the approvals given in Callaway Amendment No. 202 for response time surveillances covered by SR 3.3.1.16, SR 3.3.2.10, SR 3.3.5.4, SR 3.3.6.6, and SR 3.3.7.6.

Although Amendment No. 202 was effective on its issuance date, that amendment was not implemented at Callaway Plant until November 15, 2011. This letter provides TS markups and clean TS retyped pages for proposed SR 3.3.8.6 that reflect the implementation of Amendment No. 202.

Attachments 1 and 2 provide the final Technical Specifications Page Markups and Retyped Technical Specification Pages, respectively, in support of the amendment request for SR 3.3.8.6. The Proposed Technical Specification Bases Page Markups and Proposed FSAR Changes, provided for information only in Attachments 2 and 3 ofReference 4, are not affected.

The information provided in the Attachments does not affect the licensing evaluations submitted in the Reference 1 amendment application, nor do the Attachments alter the conclusions of those licensing evaluations.

Ameren Missouri requests approval of this license amendment request prior to December 30, 2011.

Ameren Missouri further requests that the license amendment be made effective upon NRC issuance, to be implemented within 90 days from the date of issuance with the following exception:

Since SR 3.3.8.6 is a new Surveillance Requirement, the first required performance will come due by the end of the first surveillance interval that begins or is in effect on the date of implementation of this amendment. (This is similar to the License Condition applied to new Surveillance Requirements added by License Amendment 133 for the Improved Technical Specification conversion.) Since the license amendment will be issued after the start ofRefuel 18, SR 3.3.8.6 will first be met during Refuell9 (Spring 2013).
