(1) CR-3 to NRC letter, dated December 16, 2008, "Crystal River Unit 3 -

Application for Renewal of Operating License" (2) NRC to CR-3 letter, dated December 1, 2009, "Request for Additional Information for the Review of the Crystal River Unit 3, Nuclear Generating Plant, License Renewal Application (TAC NO. ME0274)"

Dear Sir:

On December 16, 2008, Florida Power Corporation (FPC), doing business as Progress Energy Florida, Inc. (PEF), requested renewal of the operating license for Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) to extend the term of its operating license an additional 20 years beyond the current expiration date (Reference 1).

Annually, during the NRC staff review of the License Renewal Application (LRA), and at least three months before the completion of the review, PEF is required by 10 CFR 54.21(b) to amend the LRA by identifying any change to the CR-3 Current Licensing Basis (CLB) that materially affects the contents of the LRA.

PEF has completed a review of CLB changes that have occurred since the CR-3 LRA was submitted and has identified no changes to the CLB that materially affect the contents of the LRA, including the FSAR supplement. Note that pending changes were identified associated with Extended Power Uprate (EPU), Steam Generator Replacement (SGR), and related activities that are being implemented during the current refueling outage and the next refueling outage. Therefore, these changes are not yet incorporated into the CLB as of this update period. CLB changes associated with EPU/SGR andrelated activities will be the subject of responses to the NRC's December 1, 2009, request for additional information for the CR-3 License Renewal Application review (Reference 2). Impacts to the CR-3 LRA associated with these changes will be conveyed to the NRC within the response to that letter.

This letter does not contain any new or revised regulatory commitments.

If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Mr. Mike Heath, Supervisor, License Renewal, at (910) 457-3487, e-mail at mike.heath@pgnmail.com.
