SUBJECT:

WATERFORD STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 3 - CORRECTION TO PAGES ISSUED WITH AMENDMENT NO. 216 (TAC NO. MD5966)

Dear Sir or Madam:

On July 30, 2008, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff issued Amendment No. 216 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-38 for the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3.

An administrative error was discovered in the electronic version of the amended license and technical specification pages in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML081990472 for Amendment No. 216. The error resulted in the omission of some of the pages from the attachment to the amendment document. The administrative error does not change the NRC staff's conclusions in Amendment No. 216.

We have enclosed copies of the corrected license and technical specification pages for this amendment. If you have questions, please contact me at me at 301-415-1480 or by email at kaly.kalyanam@nrc.gov.

Sincerely,

[~
