TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE . REQUEST -* REVISION 1 Consumers Power Company letter dated February 20, 1986 submitted the Technical Specification Change Request and supporting Safety Analysis Report (SAR) associa.ted with the proposed installation of new spent fuel pool storage racks in approximately one-half of the Palisades Plant spent fuel pool. At the time of that submittal,- the analyses referred to in the SAR were incomplete.

Consumers Power Company letter dated.April 16, 1986 provided confirmation that the analyses had been completed and the conclusions given in the SAR, with_ the exception of those for the pool structure, are valid. Additionally, it reported the results of analyses that showed that no modifications to the Region I racks are necessary. It also provided revised pages containing tables, figures and descriptions which were either incomplete or edito.rially incorrect in the February 20, 1986 submittal. Consumers Power Company letter dated April 24, 1986 confirmed that analysis of the Spent Fuel Pool structure was complete and that conclusions given in the SAR regarding the Spent Fuel Pool structure are valid.

NRC letter dated April 25, 1986 transmitted a request for additional information regarding the expansion of the spent fuel pool storage capacity.

Requests for additional information were also received during discussion with the Palisades Plant NRC Project Manager. The additional information requested by letter and during discussion was provided by Consumers Power Company letter dated July 24, 1986 which also informed the Staff that Consumers Power Company would revise the Technical Specification Change Request and supporting SAR.

Additionally, the'July 24, 1986 Consumers Power letter informed the staff that submittal of the revised Technical Specification Change Request a-nd supporting SAR, together with the information contained in that letter would be considered as submitted in lieu of the Summary Reports described in the Consumers Power Company lette.r dated April 24, 1986.
