II. Discussion The conversion to a closed-cycle cooling system from a once-through cooling cycle was the result of the Settlement Agreement between Consumers Power Company and the Michigan Steelh.ead and Salmon Fishermen's Association, et al, dated March 12, 1971 (attached). This Agreement also imposed a number of changes on the plant Technical Specifications as well as the addition of Special Technical Specifications. During October of 1977, this Settlement Agreement automatically terminated pursuant to Section 17 of that Agreement. As a result of this termination, the requested revision to the plant Technical Speciications is being made to reflect compliance with the plant NPDES Permit.

III. Conclusion Based on the foregoing, both the Palisades Plant Review Committee and the Safety and Audit Review Board have reviewed these changes and recommend.their approval.
