These plans were documented by the NRC in meeting minutes issued .bY letter dated February 21, 1997.

Since that meeting*, we have reevaluated our schedule for the upcoming refueling outage and the.

preparation milestones. We have taken into account the schedule impact resulting from the forced outages which occurred shortly after our recent refueling outage. Although the projected start date for our 1998 refueling outage remains May 1998, we have rescheduled out planned submittal for the 1998 refueling outage".'related TS amendment requests and* other requests requiring NRC approval from prior to May 1997 to prior to July 4, 1997.

We request that NRC review submitted 1998 refueling outage- related amendment requests and other requests requiring NRC approval by January 1998 to allow time for implementation prior to the beginning of the refueling outage. We will keep you apprised of any changes to our planned submittal date.
