AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of issuance.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued 
Generic Letter (GL) 2006-01 to all holders of operating licenses for 
pressurized water reactors, except those who have permanently ceased 
operation and have certified that fuel has been removed from the 
reactor vessel. A response to this GL is not needed for the following 
units since they have revised their technical specifications (TS) to be 
conceptually similar to the TS discussed in this GL: Arkansas Nuclear 
One Unit 1, Callaway, Catawba Units 1 and 2, Farley Units 1 and 2, 
Salem Unit 1, and South Texas Project Units 1 and 2. The NRC is issuing 
this generic letter to:
    1. Request that addressees either submit a description of their 
program for ensuring steam generator (SG) tube

requirements for ensuring SG tube integrity, and
    2. Require addressees to provide a written response to the NRC in 
accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 
50.54(f).
