."y letter dated duly 17,

1984, the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (RGF~E), licensee or the R.

E. Ginna Plant, submitted a request (Ref. i) or an amendment to the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A

of Faci litv Operatina License f~o.

DPR-18 to provide consistencv in the basis -or Technical Speci ication 2. 1.

In the amendment request for the Cycle 14 reload (Pef. 2), the licensee had intended to delete the appropriate

~~rtinns of oaoes 2.1-P and 2.i-3.

The inforration on paces 2.1-2 and

2. 1-3

',t:;~".'i-ies thr-nuclear ho channel factors which formed the basis for the

". evious safe.y lim'.t cur.es, which are no longer applicable.

'he correct basis is identified on the pages changed.

The purpose of the change, in which paqes

?,1-2 and 2.i-3 are to be removed and replaced by new paqes

2. 1-2 and 2. 1-3, is to remedy the inconsistency by deleting the incorrect in ormation on pages 2.1-2 and
2. 1-3.

In addition, a revised reference to recognize the use nf the Westinghouse optimized fuel assemblies is provided in the new page ?.1-3.

It should be noted that chances to basis sections of Technical Specifications do not require license amendments.

2.0 EVALUATION The information nn paces 2.1-2 and

2. 1-3 of the curren Technical Soecifications Basis has nuclear hot channel factors which the licensee has reouested to be deleted.

The correct values for the nuclear hot, channel factors exist in the current Technical Specifications in Section

3. 10.2.2 on page
3. 10-3 which were approved in Amendment 61 of the Provisional Operating License (POL).

The change is administrative in nature as the licensee did not explicitly identify this portion in its previous submittal and therefore the NRC did not approve this change in the issuance of Amendment 61 of the POL dated

'lay 1, 1984.

The licensee has also deleted obsolete references and substituted a reference for the current use of the Westinohouse optimized fuel assemblies.

The staff has found these changes acceptable.

3. ('OKCLUSIOil "4e staff has concluded, based on the considerations discussed
above, that the requested chants to the basis section of 2. 1 are acceptable.
