Docket No. 50-364 Mr. Alan R. Barton Senior Vice President Alabama Power Company 600 North 18th Street Birmingham, Alabama 35291

Dear Mr. Barton:

SUBJECT:

UPGRADED STANDARD TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (STS) BASES PROGRNi (Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant)

As you know, we initiated a program to regrade the bases section of the STS during August 1977. We thank you f~

the support you have previously indicated for this program. The program ias made only slight progress to date.

However, based on informal contacts with staff members of one NSSS vendor, we understand renewed afforts are being made by this vendor and his affected utilities to implement this program. During these infonnal 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 have sought and obtained approval for exempting from fees, amendments in fee Classes I, II, and III which result directly from this upgradin[, program. We currently expect all amendments under this program to fall in one of these fee classes. We hope that this exemption from fees will provide additional incentive for the program.

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

If you have any questions about the program or wish to discuss it further, please call Donald Brinkman at (301) 492-7306.

Sincerely,
