Relocation of requirements involves iterns that arc currently in the TS 4
but do not n'eet the criteria set forth in the Connission's Interim Policy Statement en Technical Specification Improvenent. These items may be removed trom the TS trd placed in son.e other centro 11cd document. Once these iten.s have j
Letn relocattd, the licensce generally would be able to revise them under the provisica of 10 CFR 50.59 without a license anendment.
The relaxation of exitir.9 requirements is based on operating operience.
When restrictions arc shown to provide little or no safety benefit, and place a f
burden on the licenste, their ren.ovel from the TS n.ay be justified, in most cases, relaxations have previously been granted to individual plants en a plant-s specific basis.
