- With regard to the fire protection modifications that have been previously approved by the NRC staff, Paragraph 50.48{d) specifies a new schedule for their co~letion. This paragraph, when it becomes effective, will supersede the currentl.Y effective section of the regulations that temporarily suspends corrpletion dates for previously approved fire protection modifications that are given in facility license conditions (45 FR 71569, October 29, 1980).
The Corrmission expects that all such modificati*ons will be completed in accordance with this new schedule, unless an extension has been requested and granted by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation [see Paragraph 50.48(d)], or an exemption has been requested and granted by the Comnission pursuant to Se.ction 50.12 of the Corrmission's regulations. If you* have previously requested extensions of dates for completion of modifications that are required by license conditions for your facility which were not approved, and you have determined that these extensions are still necessary and justifiable, it will be necessary for you to reapply for any such extensions in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 50.48(d). All requests for ColTITiission action resulting from this rule are subject to the schedule of fees specified in 10 CFR 170.21. If you have any questions concerning.the subject matters of this letter, please contact the NRC Project Manager for your facility.
