SUBJECT:

SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT, UNIT 2 - CORRECTION LETTER RE: ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT NOS. 170 AND 158 ON MODE CHANGE LIMITATIONS (TAC NO. MC1944 AND TAC NO. MC1945)

Dear Mr. Sheppard:

By letter dated January 10, 2005, the Commission issued Amendment No. 170 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-76 and Amendment No. 158 to Facility Operating License No.

NPF-80 for South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2 respectively. The amendments consisted of changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs) in response to your application dated February 3, 2004, as supplemented by letter dated December 1, 2004. The amendments modified TS requirements to adopt the provisions of industry/TS Task Force (TSTF) change TSTF-359.

The Commission inadvertently issued the subject amendments with TS page 3/4 3-61 reflecting a page version based on previous Amendment No. 151 to Facility Operating License No.

NPF-76 and Amendment No. 139 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-80 for South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2 respectively; rather than the Amendment No. 163 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-76 and Amendment No. 152 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-80 for South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2 respectively.

The TS page 3/4 3-61 has been corrected and attached for incorporation in the subject amendments. We regret any inconvenience caused by this error.

Sincerely,

/RA by M.Thadani for D.Jaffe/
