Dear Mr. Rausch:

By letter dated March 24, 2009, PPL Susquehanna, LLC (the licensee), requested an amendment to the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, Facility Operating License (FOL) Nos. NPF-14 and NPF-22, to adopt Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)

Change Traveler-511, Revision 1 using consolidated line item improvement process. On July 13, 2009 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML091730598), the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued the Amendment to Facility Operating License and published the Notice of Issuance in the Federal Register on July 28, 2009 (74 FR 37252).

The enclosures to this letter provide the corrected pages 2 of the issued amendments. The safety evaluations and the revisions to the license and technical specifications pages are not affected and remain valid.

1. S. Rausch -2 Please contact me at (301 )-415-3308, if you have any questions.
