4) Letter, EG Adensam (NRC) to GC Sorensen (SS), "WNP-2 Fire Protection Program - Request for Additional Information", dated May 23, 1986 During the Enforcement Conference (Ref.1), the Supply System committed to submit a proposed amendment to the subject License Condition using the recommendations provided in Enclosure 6 to Reference 2 (see attached) as a model . The license amendment process has been initiated in that we are working with NRR Division of Licensing to obtain a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) on our WNP-2 Fire Protection Program (Ref. 3). The earliest a SER can be issued appears to be September 1986. Since the SER is a prerequisite for final submittal of the license amendment, the target submittal date discussed at the Enforcement Conference in April is unattainable.

The Supply System submitted their initial response (Ref. 3), subsequent to which the Staff requested additional information (Ref. 4). The additional information was submitted in draft form with a formal meeting having been held June 11, 1986, to allow the Supply System and NRR Staff to discuss the information contained in our submittal. The Supply System hopes to be able to incorporate the Staff's comments and to submit a final response to their questions the week of June 30, 1986. If additional questions are asked by the Staff, however, this could impact our ability to submit the final response by the above schedule, 8607160054 860701 g lI gN PDR ADOCK 05000397 p PDR 4 y I~

Mr. J. B. Martin Page Two July 1, 1986 LICENSE CONDITION (14), FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM The Staff expects to take at least four (4) weeks from their receipt of our final response to prepare their SER on this matter. A meeting between NRR and the Supply System to review our total submittal has tentatively been scheduled for mid-July.

Since our submittal is tied to the Staff's final SER, we will plan to submit the subject license amendment within 30 days of our receipt of the Staff's SER. In the meantime, we will keep you informally advised as the review progresses.

Very truly yours, k  %:4-C. M. Powers (927M)
