==Dear Sir or Madam:==
 
In Reference 1, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) proposed to revise the Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 2 (ANO-2) Technical Specification (TS) 6.6.5 to add new analytical methods to support the implementation of Westinghouse's Next Generation Fuel (NGF). During the submittal review process, a question was raised by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This Request for Additional Information (RAI) was informally transmitted to ANO-2 on February 7, 2008. The RAI required clarification as to why there are several methodologies listed in the ANO-2 TSs for the same parameter.

2CAN040903 Page 2 of 3  In Reference 2, ANO-2 made a one-time commitment to review other similar plant's TS methodology references that reflect NRC approved methods used in establishing the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) parameter limits. Based on that evaluation, Entergy intended to propose a change to TS 6.6.5, to minimize the number of references consistent with the guidance provided in Generic Letter 88-16, "Removal of Cycle-Specific Parameter Limits from Technical Specifications."
 
During the evaluation, Entergy could not determine a regulatory basis for listing the references in the TSs. Therefore Entergy proposed to delete the TS 6.6.5.b references and maintain the list of references in the COLR (Reference 3). On April 13, 2009, a conference call was held between the NRC and Entergy to discuss the bases for the deletion of the specific references. As a result of this call, Entergy understood that the NRC Staff desires to continue to review the addition of references to TS 6.6.5 since they have identified instances in which a referenced topical report was misapplied.
 
Based on this understanding, Entergy is withdrawing its License Amendment Request that was presented in Reference 3. In accordance with the original commitment in Reference 2, Entergy will provide a revised License Amendment Request related to the COLR references by May 15, 2009.
 
This letter contains no new commitments. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me.
