The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff is currently reviewing the submittal to ensure compliance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), Section 50.54(p)(2). The NRC staff has determined that the additional information requested below is needed to complete its review.

- 3. Consistent with 10 CFR 73.55(c)(3), the licensee shall establish, maintain, and implement a PSP which describes how the performance objective and requirements set forth in this section will be implemented.

Section 15.2 of the PSP does not discuss an approved exemption to the compliance date specified in 10 CFR 73.55(a)(1) for a particular requirement, until November 5, 2013. However, the second paragraph of Section 15.4 appears to indicate compliance with that particular requirement. The aforementioned exemption was last noted in Section 15.2 of Revision 18 of the PSP. Based on the language in Sections 15.2 and 15.4 of Revision 20 of the PSP, it is unclear if compliance with that particular requirement has been achieved or not. Please clarify if compliance with that particular requirement has been achieved or not, and if so, in what manner.
Additionally, please confirm that appropriate changes will be made during the next revision of the sites PSP to ensure the language clearly indicates whether or not compliance has been achieved for the particular requirement from which the licensee has been granted an exemption to the compliance date specified in 10 CFR 73.55(a)(1), until November 5, 2013.
