Public Service Company of Oklahoma Black Fox Station, Units 1 and 2 July 10, 1979 Limited Work Authorization File 6212.125.3500.32L Request for Amendment 3 Docke' STN 50-556, 50-557 Mr. Steven A. Varga, Acting Mr. W. H. Regan, Jr. , Acting Assistant Director Assistant Director Light Water Reactors Environmental Projects Division of Project Management Division of Site Safety and U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Environmental Analysis Washington, D. C. 20555 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20555 Gentlemen:

Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PS0) is ;;resently constructing its Black Fox Station Units 1 and 2 (BFS) under a Limited Work Authorization (LWA) issued by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) on July 26, 1978 as amended on September 6, 1978 and November 30, 1978. This Authorization is commonly referred to as an LWA-I and is valid only for the specified non-safety related work expected to be accomplished prior to the issuance of a full con-struction permit for the facility.

As you are aware, a significant delay is being experienced in the licensing of nuclear facilities as a result of the recent events at Three Mile Island, Unit 2.

PS0 understands that the issuance of new licenses such as the BFS construction permits will be delayed for sone time yet to be determined by the Director, NRR.

We had estimated that these pencits would be in hand by July 2,1979, based on the close of the safety hearing record February 23, 1979.

These events, unasso_iated with the BFS docket, have caused us to look within the construction schedule for additional non-safety related activities which could be taken out of established sequence and performed under an LWA-I.

Unfortunately, we were unable to find any which could be properly authorized that would contribute to our meeting the presently established commerical operation dates.

We did find, however, several which can serve as " work-arounds" to keep the on-site forces active and help avoid the costs of construction demobilization and restart. Accordingly, we are requesting that certain additional construction A
