Dear Mr. Denton:

In the Matter of the ) Docket Nos. 50-259 Tennessee Valley Authority ) 50-260 50-296 In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50.59, we are enclosing 30 copies of a requested amendment to licenses DPR-33, DPR-52, and DPR-68 to change the technical specifications of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant units 1, 2, and 3 (enclosure 1). The other requir ed 10 copies of the amendment have been sent directly to the Browns. Ferry Project Manager to facilitate rapid handling of our request. The enclosed specifications propose lowering of the group 1 isolation setpoint for reactor lower water level. The proposed specifications are expected to result in incr eased plant availability.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91(a)(1) the determination of no significant hazards consideration is provided as enclosure 2. The description and justification for the changes are provided in enclosure 3.

General Electric Company report uBrowns Ferry Nuclear Plant Units 1, 2, and 3 MSIV Water Level Isolation Setpoint Reduction," NEDE-30012, with Errata and Addenda No. 1 accompanying this application, is considered proprietary to the General Electric Company.* The affidavit required by 10 CFR 2.790(b) is provided as enclosure 4. The report considered proprietary is provided in enclosure 5. We request that copies of enclosure 5 not be placed in the Public Document Room.

These, requested technical specification revisions are consistent with the Commission's guidelines of NUREG-0737, TMI Action Plan Requirements, Item II.K.3.16 for reducing challenges of relief valves. For that reason we believe expeditious review and approval is warranted.
