SUBJECT:

PROPOSED At1ENDljENT OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TABLE 3.3.7.1-1 (TAC NO. 71128)

Your application of October 24, 1988 (GO-2-88-221) to amend technical specifications related to radiation monitoring of control room ventilation air focused on removing the requirement for an automated trip of air intakes upon a high radiation signal.

Arguments were presented to support this action.

In the same application you requested several other changes to the affected section for which you provided no support.

We understand the need for removal of the trip requirement from the technical specification and are proceeding with our review of that portion of your application.

We are not able to review the footnote which you proposed to add to page 3/4 3-58 or to review the proposed changes to ACTION statement 70 on page 3/4 3-59 specifying times to restore the monitors to operable status because (1) you failed to indicate any need for these

changes, (2) you presented no safety analysis, instead arguing that the proposed wording would be consistent with wording used in unrelated sections of the technical specifications, and (3) you did not provide a "no significant hazards consideration analysis" addressing these changes.

If you wish to pursue these changes we will process them as a totally separate licensing action upon receipt of the supporting information.

Sincerely, original signed by cc:
