_ REASON FOR CHANGE:
This proposed change will incorporate into the Maine 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 attention to controlling secondary water chemistry, while also providing the needed flexibility to core effectively deal with any off-normal conditions that might arise.
SAFETY CONDITIONS: This proposed change does not present any hazard considerations not described or implied in the license application as amended.
This proposed change has been reviewed by the Nuclear Safety Audit and Review Cet=ittee.
FEE DETERMINATICN:
Reference (b) requests thtt a Class III fee be submitted with this amend =ent application.
MYAPC takes exception to that request for the following reasons.
It is thine Yankee's positien that this submittal clearly falls into that categcry of amendment described under footnote 2 of 10 CFR 170.22 which states:
" Class I, II cr III amend:ents which result from a written Commission request for t!.e application may be ex?tpt frem fees when the atendment is to si=plify or clarify liceccc cr technical specifications; the c=endment has only minor safety significance and is issued for the convenience of the Commission.
Maine Yankee feels that the fee exemption should apply for two reasons:
1.
The license conditions, when incorporated into the Maine Yankee's operating license, will do nothing core than define require =ents for a secondary water chemistry =cnitoring pregram similar tc the program which has been in effect at thine Yankee since it first went to cperation in late 1972.
It is precisely for this reascn that we feel that the amendment when issued will be strictly for license clarificatien purposes, and for the convenience of the Cc mission only, as the addition of words describing program requirements will neither add or detract from the program currently being implemented.
2.
In additien to the above, Maine Yankee feels that any fee charged fer an amendment review should be cc censurate with the ranpcwer allocatien which was necessary to perform that review, and as in this case no technical review was er will be necessary, then no fee should be imposed.
For the above reascns, no fee is submitted with this license amendment request.
United States Nuclear Regulatory Cc =issicn September 13, 1979 Attention: Office of Nuclear Reacter Regulation Page 3 SCHEDULE OF CHANGE: The Maine Yankee Operating License will be amended ic=ediately upcn Cc= mission approval.
