Acceptance of Vogtle LAR fo r TSTF-439, Completion Times By letter dated August 31, 2012, Southern Nuclear submitted a license amendment request (LAR)to revise the Technical Specifications (TS) for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant by eliminating second Completion Times from the TS per TSTF-439-A, Revision 2. The purpose of this letter is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information In scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to continue its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the request has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the plant.

The NRC staff has reviewed your request and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to continue its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed request in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staff's ability to complete the detailed technical review are identified in "requests for additional information" despite completion of an adequate acceptance review.

You will be advised of any further information needed to support the NRC staff's detailed technical review by separate correspondence.
