Specific requirements are outlined in Attachment 2 of Reference 1.Reference 1 required submission of an initial status report 60 days following issuance of the final interim staff guidance and an overall integrated plan (OIP) pursuant to Section IV, Condition C. Reference 2 provided the APS initial status report regarding reliable SFP level instrumentation.
In Reference 3, APS provided the PVNGS OIP.After reviewing the PVNGS OIP for SFP level instrumentation, the NRC issued a request for additional information (RAI) to APS. On July 11, 2013, APS provided a response to the NRC RAI regarding the PVNGS OIP for SFP level instrumentation (Reference 3).Reference 1 also requires submission of a status report at 6-month intervals following submittal of the OIP. NEI 12-02, Industry Guidance for Compliance with NRC Order EA-12-051, "To Modify Licenses with Regard to Reliable Spent Fuel Pool Instrumentation," Revision 1, provides direction regarding the content of the status reports. The enclosure to this letter provides the first 6-month status report on the PVNGS OIP for SFP level instrumentation pursuant to Section IV, Condition C.2, of Reference 1.No commitments are being made to the NRC by this letter.Should you have any questions concerning the content of this letter, please contact Mark McGhee, Department Leader, Regulatory Affairs, at (623) 393-4972.I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.Executed on (Date)Sincerely,

This enclosure provides an update of milestone accomplishments since submittal of the Overall Integrated Plan, including any changes to the compliance method, schedule, or need for relief or relaxation and the basis, if any.2 Milestone Accomplishments The following milestone(s) have been completed since the development of the OIP, and are current as of July 31, 2013.Engineering and design work for Units 1, 2, and 3 have been started. Design work is ongoing and scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2013 (see the Section 3 Milestone Schedule Status Table).3 Milestone Schedule Status The following provides an update to the milestone schedule in support of the OIP. This section provides the activity status of each item and whether the expected completion date has changed. The provided dates are for planning purposes and subject to change as design and implementation details are developed.
