UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 June 24, 2016 Mr. Ken J. Peters Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Attention: Regulatory Affairs Luminant Generation Company LLC P.O. Box 1002 Glen Rose, TX 76043

SUBJECT:

COMANCHE PEAK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -

CORRECTION OF AMENDMENT NOS. 166 AND 166, ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS REGARDING EMERGENCY ACTION LEVEL SCHEME CHANGE (CAC NOS. MF6407 AND MF6408)

Dear Mr. Peters:

By letter dated June 14, 2016, 1 the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendment No. 166 to Facility Operating License (FOL) No. NPF-87 and Amendment No. 166 to FOL No. NPF-89 for Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, respectively.

The amendments consist of changes to the emergency action level (EAL) scheme in response to your application dated June 30, 2015, 2 as supplemented by letters dated January 27 3 and March 3, 2016. 4 Amendment Nos. 166 and 166 were effective as of June 14, 2016, and are to be implemented in 180 days from the date of issuance of the license amendments. In the application dated June 30, 2015, the licensee requested an implementation period of 180 days from the date of issuance of the license amendments. However, in the supplemental letter dated March 3, 2016, the licensee requested a new implementation period of 270 days from the date of issuance to allow training to be completed on the new EALs. During a conversation between Mr. Jack Hicks of your staff and the NRC staff, it was noted that page 2 of the amendment authorization letters for FOL Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89 stated an incorrect implementation period of 180 days.

The NRC staff concludes that the error was inadvertently introduced during the preparation of the license amendments. To correct the error, revised copies of page 2 of the amendment authorization letters for FOL Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89 are enclosed. Please replace page 2 of the amendment authorization letters for FOL Nos. NPF-87 and NPF-89 that were issued by letter dated June 14, 2016, with the enclosed pages.

The Notice of Issuance has been corrected to reflect the 270-day implementation period and will be included in the Commission's next biweekly Federal Register notice.

1 Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML16137A056.

2 ADAMS Accession No. ML15191A161.

3 ADAMS Accession No. ML16039A165.

4 ADAMS Accession No. ML16077A012.

K. Peters These administrative errors do not affect the staff's overall conclusions associated with approval of Amendment Nos. 166 and 166. The changes are within the scope of the application as originally noticed in the Federal Register on August 14, 2015 (80 FR 48923), and August 20, 2015 (80 FR 50663).

If you have any questions, please call me at 301-415-1233 or via e-mail at Margaret.Watford@nrc.gov.
