A CMS Energy Company June 27, 1997 U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 DOCKET 50-255 - LICENSE DPR PALISADES PLANT 111omas c. Sardine Manager Licensing TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST - ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND REVISED PAGES The Palisades Plant submitted a Technical Specifications change request proposing revision of the Electrical Power Systems section on December 27, 1995.
Additional submittals on that subject were provided on September 4, 1996 and November 26, 1996.
This letter provides additional information and revised Technical Specifications pages to support completion of the review of the subject change request.
The subject change request proposed relocating one Technical Specification (TS) requirement to the FSAR and several TS requirements to the Operating Requirements Manual (ORM).
During the time period between our initial Jj submittal on this subject and the present, the NRC has provided additional guidance on relocation of TS requirements to Licensee controlled documents.
, I In order to assure that future changes to these relocated requirements are controlled by the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59, changes have been made in Palisades FSAR Revision 19, which 1) describe the ORM, and 2) incorporate the A-r1rv ORM into the FSAR by reference.

The text of revised FSAR section 12.3.3 is:
12.3.3 OPERATING REQUIREMENTS MANUAL (ORM)
The ORM contains equipment operating requirements, operational limits, and testing requirements which are in addition to those in the technical specifications.
Some of these requirements were formerly in the technical specifications, but were relocated to the ORM because they did not meet the criteria of 10 CFR 50.36 for retention in the technical specifications.
The ORM is incorporated into the FSAR by reference and will be revised in the same manner as the FSAR.
Changes to the ORM shall become effective after approval by the General Manager - Plant Operations.
The requirement currently in TS 4.7.ld has been reworded to reflect the intended meaning, and has been added to FSAR section 8.4.1, "EMERGENCY GENERATORS.
The text added to FSAR section 8.4.1, under is:
When any plant modification affects the diesel generator loading, the revised loading will be verified to not exceed either the engine or generator ratings.
2 Revision 19 of the Palisades FSAR was submitted to the NRC, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.71, on June 27, 1997.
All of the TS requirements relocated by this change request, except item 4.7.ld, have been added to the ORM in Standing Order 54 Sections 3.7 and 4.7.
The affected pages of the ORM are provided in Attachment 1 to this letter. to this letter provides revised TS pages to replace those provided in our September 4, 1996, submittal. Attachment 3 contains those same TS pages, marked to show the changes from our September 4 submittal.
The changes made to these TS pages include 1) changes made to the affected TS pages by intervening amendments; 2) editorial corrections and clarifications; and 3) changes to TS and Bases pages showing the change in Action 3.7.1.G completion time from 24 to 15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br /> which was discussed in our November 26, 1996 letter.

General Manager, Plant Operations Plant modifications and commitments made to the NRC have resulted in numerous proposed changes to the Palisades Technical Specifications. While we are not authorized to change the Technical Specifications, we can implement operational requirements which are more restrictive or more conservative than those in the Technical Specifications. To maintain systems and equipment affected by the proposed changes OPERABLE, supplementary requirements which must be followed, in addition to the Technical Specifications, are prescribed in Attachment 1 to this Standing Order.
These supplementary requirements are arranged in numerical order corresponding to the associated Technical Specification. No attempt has been made to reproduce entire "as proposed" pages. Where a specific section or specification number from the T.echnical Specifications is included in these supplementary requirements, the wording contained in these supplementary requirements must be followed in addition to the wording of the Technical Specifications.
~TANDING ORDER 54 Revision 43 Page 2 of 2 All requirements included in this document are to be treated in all respects, except the reporting of violations, as if they are Palisades Technical Specification requirements. While deviation from the Palisades Technical Specifications can only be authorized by the NRC, deviation from these supplementary requirements is allowed, provided:
The deviation does not create a situation which is less restrictive than allowed by the Palisades Technical Specifications, and A written Seven Question 1 OCFR50.59 Safety Evaluation is generated, reviewed and recommended for approval by the Plant Review Committee, and approved by the General Manager, Plant Operations or his alternate.
In the case of these supplemental requirements, there is no requirement. to report violations to the NRC. However, these supplementary requirements are to be treated in all other respects as if they were issued by the NRC, unless there is an approved deviation (as described above).
All changes to these supplementary requirements require:
A Commitment Tracking System search, A written Seven Question 1 OCFR50.59 Safety Evaluation, and Review and recommendation for approval by the Plant Review Committee, and Approval by the General Manager, Plant Operations.
'The Safety Evaluation performed for the change shall also include a written determination as to whether or not the change creates a situation which is less restrictive than allowed by the Palisades Technical Specifications.
The changes made in this revision to these supplementary requirements are listed on page 1.
