Identification of process sampling points; 4.

change wfIl inom porate into the Maine REASON FOR CHANGE: This prepobe d Yankee Operating License, and License Condition requested in Reference b).
BASIS: 'The above described proposed change would provide assurance that the licensee would devote proper sttention to controlling secondary water chemistry, wh'.le also providirgit7e needed flexibility to more effectively deal with any off-norma), conditions that might arise.
SAFETY CONDITIONS: This proposed change does not present any hazard consideratione not described or implied in the license application as anmnded.
This proposed change has been reviewed by the Nuciear Safety Audit and Review Committee.
FEE CETFM!INATION:
Hoforence (b) requests that a Class III fee te submitted with th;s amendme. application.
MYAPC takes exception to that request for the rollowing reasons.
. It is Maine Yankee's position that this submittal clearly falls into that eategory of amendment described under footnote 2 of 10 CFR 170.22 which states:
" Class I, II or III amendments which result froc a written Commission reque,t for the application may be ruempt fera fees i
when the amendment is to simplify or cla rify license or T
' technical specifications; the amendment has only minor eafety algnificance and is issued for the convenience o! the l
Commis sion. "
M2ine Yankee feels that the fee exemption should apply rer two reasont:
1.
The license cerditions, when incorporated into the Maane Yankee's eperating license, will Jo nothing more than define riguirements for a secondary water chemistry menitoring program similar to the program
,which has been in effect at Maine Y2nhee since it first went to i
operation in late 1972.
It is precisely for tnd.s reason that we feel that the amendment when issued will be utrictly, for license clarification purposes, and for the u-neenience de the Commissic, only, as ' the addition of words dese Aoirg program requirements will neither add or detract from the p'ogram curreptly being implemented.
2.
In addition to the above, Mair a Yanket fe9]s that any fee charged for an amendment review should be commensurate witn the tanpcwer allocation which was necessary to perform t5nt' review, and as in this case no technical review was or will be nece.asary, then no fec shoula be in posed.
Fcs tro a,bove reasons, no fee is submitted with this license amendment >iequest.
