Dear Sir or Madam:

By Reference 1 above, Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) proposed a change to the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit I (GGNS) Technical Specifications (TS) to extend the LPRM calibration frequency. Reference 2 provided a supplement to the request.

Attachment I to Reference 2 contained information that was considered proprietary to AREVA NP Inc. Attachment 3 provided an affidavit to support a request to withhold the proprietary information from public disclosure. This letter provides a revised affidavit and a revised page for Attachment 1 to Reference 2.

Page 1 of Attachment I is revised to include a proprietary designation at the top of the page. Although the page itself does not contain proprietary information, it was part of a proprietary section and is being designated as such. The revised affidavit supersedes the previous affidavit provided by Attachment 3 to Reference 2. These changes were previously discussed with the Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Project Manager.
