Attachments lA and 13 will be submitted by August 10, 1984.
Exemption requests submitted to date can be reviewed independent of Attachments lA and

Attachment lA will provide a concise summary of essential equipment for safe shutdown. 3 will provide an exemption request from Section III. L. 4 of Appendix R to 10 CFR to the extent that personnel must be available on-site at all times to implement procedures concerning local tending of a diesel generator.

that one Consumers Power Company interpretation of Appendix R was conservative but overly restrictive in applying Section III.G.2 separation criteria to cold shutdown equipment.
Engineering judgement and analysis may be used to demonstrate that one train of cold shutdown equipment is free of fire damage. wording has been modified to reflect this new understanding.
