'2-4 and modifications required as the result of the Three Mile Island Action Plan (NUREG-0737).
'The extension would facilitate the incorporation of the modifications identified above and accurately reflect the* existing
'I design.
Further, the licensee's technical support staff necessary for providing inputs to the FSAR are heavily engaged in the current modifi-cations.
'As a result, the licensee is requesting a four month schedular exemption for the current annual revision of the UFSAR.
The staff'as evaluated the licensee's request for a four month extension to the regulation that requires an annual revision to the UFSAR.
Me believe that the extension of time is warranted to permit incorporation of the major modifications and changes to accurately reflect the existing
~ design.
The staff has determined that good cause has been shown to support the exemption and, therefore, a four month exemption from the date of com-pliance is acceptable for this annual revision currently scheduled for July 22, 1983.
III.
Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the exemption requested by the licensee's letter of February 2, 1983, is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest.
Therefore, the Commission hereby approves the following exemption from compliance with the July 22, 1983 date for submitting the current annual revision to the UFSAR:
