Gentlemen:

Mr. Albert Schwencer, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #1 Division of Operating Reactors REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE DPR-70 UNIT NO. 1 SALEM GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-272 In accordance with the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended and the regulations thereunder, we hereby transmit copies of additional in-formation for changes to Facility Operating License DPR-70 for Salem Generating Station, Unit No. 1.

On June 29, 1978, we made a request for change to the Technical Speci-fications to cove~ operation of the Pressurizer Overpressure Protect-ion System (POPS).

That submittal was made without benefit of Stand-ard Technical Specifications (STS) which have since been issued.

Mr.

Marshall Grotenhuis of your staff has asked us if we would be agree-able to accepting the STS format.

We, hereby, do accept the STS and revised Technical Specification pages are enclosed.
