SUBJECT:

PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NO. 1 -REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING RELOCATION OF SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCIES TO LICENSEE CONTROL (TAC NO. MF3720)(L-14-106)

Dear Mr. Harkness:

By application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) dated March 25, 2014 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML 14084A 165), FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating Company (FENOC, the licensee) submitted a license amendment request for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant. The proposed amendment would relocate specific technical specification surveillance requirement frequencies to a licensee controlled program. The NRC staff is reviewing your submittal and has determined that additional information is required to complete the review. The specific information requested is addressed in the enclosure to this letter. During a discussion with Mr. Phil Lashley of your staff on August 18, 2014, it was agreed that FENOC would provide a response within 30 days from the date of this letter. The NRC staff considers that timely responses to requests for additional information help ensure sufficient time is available for staff review and contribute toward the NRC's goal of efficient and effective use of staff resources.

E. Harkness Should circumstances result in the need to revise the requested response date, please contact me at (301) 415-2315. Docket No. 50-440
