Rev. 1 Supplement United States Nuclear Requlatory Commission Document control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Gentlemen:

SUPPLEMENT TO REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT SALEM GENERATING STATION UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES DPR-70 AND DPR-75 DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 In accordance with the requirements of 10CFR50.90, Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) hereby transmits a request for amendment of Facility Operating Licenses DPR-70 and DPR-75 for Salem Unit Nos. 1 and 2. PUrsuant to the requirements of 10CFR50.91(b) (1), a copy of this request for amendment has been sent to the State of New Jersey.

This submittal supersedes certain changes proposed in PSE&G letter NLR-N90068, dated March 6, 1991. Technical Specification Table 4.8-1 would be revised to include a note regarding Emergency Diesel Generator (ECG) test frequency. The note would require an ECG with a 7 day test frequency to undergo seven consecutive failure free starts before it is eligible to be placed in the 31 day test frequency. This would keep an ECG in the accelerated (7 day) test category until a confidence level that the ECG has a reliability of greater than or equal to 0.90 is established. The proposed change is consistent with Generic Letter 84-15 regarding ECG reliability.

Changes intended to simplify Table 4.8-1 are also being proposed.

For example, "At least once per 31 days" would be changed to "M",

which is defined in Table 1.2 as "At least once per 31 days."

These changes do not alter the test frequency requirements. i i

Attachment 1 contains the revised Salem Unit No. 1 and 2 . I Technical Specification Table 4.8-1 pages~ which supersede the corresponding pages in the March 6, 1991 letter. All other ~

changes proposed by the March 6, 1991 letter remain in effect.

Document Control Desk NLR-N91149 SEP 2 O 1gg1 The changes proposed herein do not invalidate PSE&G's Determination pf No Significant Hazards Consideration provided in its letter dated March 6, 1991. PSE&G requests that the _

implementation date for Unit 1 be no. later than upon restart from the first refueling outage subsequent to issuance of the approved License Amendment. This will allow sufficient time for procedure revision and refueling outage planning to account for the changes to the Unit 1 surveillance tests performed on an 18 month cycle.

For Unit 2, implementation within 60 days of issuance of the License Amendment is requested.

Sincerely, Affidavit Attachment c
