M Consumers Power Company ATTN: Mr. David Bixel Nuclear 1.icensing Adrainistrator 212 West Michigan Avenue Jackson, Michigan 49201 Gentlemen:
RE: BIG ROCK POINT On kovember 29, 1976, the Commission published in the Federal Register, (copy enclosed) an amended Section 20.103 of 10 CFR 20, which becarc effective on Decembu-29, 1976. One effect of this revision is that in order to receive credit for limiting the inhalation of airborne radioactive material, respiratory protective equipment snust be used as stipulated in Regulatory Guide 8.15.
Another requirenent of the anended regulation is that licensees authorized to make allowance for use of respiratory protective equipment prior to December 29, 1976, must bring the use of their respiratory protective equipment into confomance with Regulatory Guide 8.15 by December 29, 1977.
Because the respiratory protective program described in Section 6.12 of your facility Technical Specifications differs from that stipulated in Regulatory Guide 8.15, the effect of this change in the regulations is to require amendment of your Technical Soecifications.
In view of the provisions of Section 6.11 of your Technical Specifications, which require confomance with 10 CFR 20 the fact that Section 20.103 no longer requires specific authorization to employ respiratory protective equipnent, and the revocation provisions of subsection 6.12.3, we conclude that the necessary amendment to your facility's Technical Specifications can be effected by merely deleting Section 6.12.
Accordingly, this is to advise you that pursuant to 10 CFR 20.103(c) and (f), if you desire to receive credit for use of respiratory protective
- i..
equipment e' your facility after December 28, 1977, such use must be as stipulated in Regulatory Guide 8.16 rather than as specified in your If e u gyb pago6 co*
