Pardee President and Chief Nuclear Officer Exelon Generation Company 4300 Winfield Road Warrenville, IL 60555 OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION -RE: LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO REVISE SECONDARY CONTAINMENT OPERABILITY REQUIREMENTS (TAC NO. MD7261)

Dear Mr. Pardee:

By letter dated November 2,2007, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML073180397), as supplemented by letters dated May 5, July 3, and September 22,2008 (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML081330320, ML081930802, and ML082670773, respectively), Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted a license amendment request for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station. The proposed change would revise operability requirements associated with secondary containment operability during refueling. In response to a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff request for additional information dated October 20, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML092870578), Exelon made significant revisions to the supporting calculations and proposed Technical Specification (TS) pages. The revised calculations and TS pages were submitted to the NRC by letter dated November 13, 2009 (ADAMS Accession No. ML093220922). This letter acknowledges receipt of the November 13, 2009, submittal and documents that the NRC staff considers this submittal to supersede the information in the November 2, 2007, application. The submittal will be noticed with a proposed no significant hazards consideration determination and opportunity for a hearing in the Federal Register. As a result, TAC No. MD7261 will be closed and a new TAC No. will be opened to track the review effort. The NRC staff will promptly review the submittal to ensure sufficient information is present, allowing the NRC staff to render a regulatory decision. The NRC staff requests your support for a public meeting in January 2010 to discuss the review status and schedule. I will work with your staff to finalize the date and time for the meeting.
