1. Letter from R. Michael Glover (Duke Energy Progress, Inc.) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Serial: RNP-RA/15-0090), Proposed Amendment to Technical Specification 5. 5. 16 for the Adoption of Option B of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J for Type B and Type C Testing and the Permanent Change in 1 O CFR 50, Appendix J, Integrated Leak Rate Test Interval and Type C Leak Rate Testing Frequency, dated November 19, 2015, ADAMS Accession Number ML 15323A085.

Dear Sir/Madam:

By letter dated November 19, 2015 (Reference 1 ), Duke Energy Progress, Inc. submitted a request for an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) for H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No. 2 (HBRSEP2). The proposed change requests to revise TS 5.5.16, Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program, TS 3.6.1, Containment, and TS 3.6.2, Containment Air Lock, for HBRSEP2, to allow the following: Increase in the existing integrated leak rate test (ILRT) program test interval from 10 to 15 years, Adopt 1 O CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions, for the performance-based testing of Types B and C tested components in accordance with the guidance of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)-52, Implement 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B (Reference 11 of the Enclosure),

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Serial: RNP-RA/16-0065 Page2 Allow an extension to the 120-month frequency currently permitted by Option B for Type B leakage rate testing, Allow an extension from the 60-month frequency currently permitted by Option B to a 75-month frequency for Type C leakage rate testing, The proposed change would also adopt a more conservative grace interval of 9 months, for Type B and Type C tests in accordance with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) Topical Report NEI 94-01, revision 3-A. Duke Energy Progress, Inc. is submitting this supplement to Reference 1 as discussed with the NRC Project Manager via teleconference held on August 10, 2016. Updated markup and retyped TS pages are provided in the enclosure to this letter. Please address any comments or questions regarding this matter to Mr. Tony Pilo, Acting Manager-Nuclear Regulatory Affairs at (843) 857-1409. I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on \ 5 I 2016. Sincerely, R. Michael Glover Site Vice President RMG/jmw Enclosure cc: Region Administrator, NRC, Region II Dennis Galvin, NRC Project Manager, NRR NRC Resident Inspector, HBRSEP2 Ms. S. E.
