Other surveillances currently performed "once each operating cycle," "at least once during each opersting cycle," "each refueling," or similar notation, that are not being extended at this tir.ie will be denoted as being l
performed "at least once per 18 months."
The signed original of the Application for Amendment to the Technical Specifications is enclosed for filing.
