Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Un its 1, 2, and 3 - Acceptance Review of TSTF-523, Revision 2, GL 2008-01, Managi ng Gas Accumulation License Amendment Request (CAC Nos. MF8082, MF8083, and MF8084)By letter dated June 29, 2016 (Agencywide Docum ents Access and Management System Accession No. ML16182A171), Arizona Public Service Company (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, requesting an approval to revise the Technical Specifications (TSs). The proposed LAR woul d modify TS requirements to address Generic Letter (GL) 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation in Emergency Core Cooling, Decay Heat Removal, and Containment Spray Systems," as described in Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)-523, Revision 2, GL 2008-01, "Managing Gas Accumulation." The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this LAR. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to allow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application 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 application and concluded that it does provide technical information in sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed LAR 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 te chnical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
