Enclosure INDIAN POINT 2 IMPROVED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SECTION 3.7.8 - SERVICE WATER SYSTEM BEYOND SCOPE ISSUE NO. 6 3.7.8 L.1 - The proposed justification of maintaining functional capability, although losing redundency, does not provide acceptable justifcation for the less restrictive allowed outage time (AOT). However, two minor points were also provided as justification that may justify the reduction if more information is provided. Please provide the evaluation or anaylsis for the conclusion that there is a "low probability of an event during the AOT for the pump on the essential and/or non-essential header." Also, provide more explanation on the statement that the time limit for improved technical specification limiting condition for operation 3.8.1 supports the less restrictive AOT.
