July 11, 1979 Docket No. 50-334 Mr. J' hn Dolan, Vice President o

Operations Division Duquesne Light Company 435 Sixth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15219

Dear Mr. Dolan:

RE:

UPGRADED STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (STS) BASES PROGRAM As you know, we initiated a program to upgrade the bases section of the STS during August 1977.

We thank you for the support you have previously indicated for this program.

The program has made only slight progress to date.

However, based on infomal cantacts with staff members of one NSSS vendor, we understand renewed efforts are being made by this vendor and his affected utilities to implement this program.

During these in-fomal contacts, a concern was expressed regarding the applicability of license fees for amendments which may result from this upgrading program.

In response to this concern, we nave sougSt 'and obtained approval for ex-enpting from fees, amendments in fee Classes I, II, and III which result directly from this upgrading program, We currently expect all amendments under this program to fall in one of these fee classes. We hope that this exemption fran fees will provide additional incentive for the program.

We are also notifying the reactor vendors of this fee exemption approval.

If you have questions about the program or wish to discuss it further, please call Donald Brinkman at (301) 492-7360.

Si nce rely,
