" A i tems. The requested technical specificati ns for your facility are discussed in Enclosure 1.

Your response dated September 25, 1980 did not include proposed technical These

. specifications covering three of the items requested in our letter.

items are (1) revision of minimum shift manning reflecting the augmentation of a Shift Technical. Advisor (STA), (2) Systems Integrity Measuremer cs

. Program, and (3) Improved Iodine Measurements capability.

Your letter stated that Consumers Power Company has not addressed the STA technical specification because your position with regard to a long term program for the STA has not been finalized.

It is our position that a Technical Specification change as requested by our letter of July 2,1980 should be submitted promptly. Any future proposed modifications to the Big Rock-Point STA program, when approved, can be reflected in a further change to the Technical Specification. This subject it discussed in Item I. A.l.1 of NUREG-0737, "Clari fication of TMI Ac+. ion Plan Requirements".

Accordingly, you should fomard a proposed Technical Specification change related to the STA within 30 days of the receipt of this letter.

. specification can be included.in the " Administrative Controls" section of the Big Rock Point Technical Specifications. Accordingly, we request that you submit an ' appropriate technical specification change within 30 days of the. receipt of this lettar.

810so200W f

2-January 7,1981 With regard to the technical specification relating to Iodine Monitoring, your letter indicated that you are encountering difficulties in obtaining portable spectral analyzers.

Please inform us within 30 days the date that you expect to forward the requested technical specification change.
