UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555

. Docket Nos.

50~250 and 50-251 Dr. Robert E. Uhrig, Vice President Advanced Systems and Technology Florida Power and Light Company Post Office Box 529100 Miami, Florida 33152

Dear ar. Uhrig:

. Nov~mber 17, 1980 As you know, a proposed Section 50~48 and Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 has been pending since May 1980.

The Commission has recently approved a revised final version of that proposed Section 50.48 and Appendix R to 10 CFR 50

\\'/hich will be published in the Federal Register shortly and \\'i'ill become effective ~O days after publication.

This revised 10 CFR 50.48 will contain schedules for completion of all fire protection modifications.

One set of schedules vlill be applicable to features covered by Appendix R.

A similar set of schedules \\*:ill be applicabl~ to all other fire protection modifications that have bee'n approved by the NRC staff in a staff safety evaluation report. This lat.ter set of schedules vlill require completion of modifications not covered by.~ppendix R by schedules specified in the revised rule or by the dates no1;1 specified as license conditions, 1tthichever is sooner, unless an extension or exemption is approved by NRC.

So~e of the completion dates discussed in the SER for your facility may be associated with modifications for which the NRC staff required additional information, such as design' details or test results, to be subsequently reviewed and approved by th~ r~RC staff prior to implementation.

To the extent that there are fir~ ~rotection modifications such as this for your facility and the required additional information has not yet been approved by the staff as evidenced in a staff safety evaluation report, there is no present implementation requirement; consequently, completion of such items wi'll be governed by the schedules in the revised rule.

I.n the i nteri.m, pending the.. effective. date of the revised rule, the Cammi ssi on has approved a new Section 50.48 of 10 CFR 50 suspending completion dates for fire protection modifications previously approved by the NRG staff.

This new section became eff~ctive upon publication in the Feder~l Register on October 29, 1980.(45 FR 71569).

A copy of the new rule is enclosed for*your information.

This.'rule will be superseded by the revised*rule when

. it becomes effective.
