%t The Comission ::ublished on Novecer 19,1980 (45 FR 76602), a revisec Section 10 CFR 50.48 and a new Appendix R to 10 CFR 50 regarding fire protection features of nuclear power plants. The revised Section 50.48 anc Appendix R will become effective February 17, 1981, whien is 90 days after oublication.
A copy of the Federal Register Notice is enclosed (Enclosure 1).
The provisions of Appencix R that are applicable to the fire protection features of your f acility. Can be divided into two categories. The first category consists of tnose provisions of the Appendix that are required to be backfit in their entirety by the new rule, regardless of whether or not alternatives to the specific requirements of these Sections have been previously approved by the NRC staff. These requirements are set forth in Sections III.G, Fire Protection of Saf e Shutdown Capability; III-J, Emergency Lighting; and III-0, Oil Collection Systems for Reactor Coolant Pump. The fire protection features of your facility nust satisfy the specific requirements of these three Sections by the dates established by Paragraph 50.48(c), unless an exemption f rom the Appendix R requirements is approved by the Comission. You should note the provisions for tolling the time for conpleting the modifications required by these three Sections of Appendix R set forth in Paragraph 50.48(c)(6).
The second category of Appendix R provisions applicable to the fire protection features of your f acility consists of recuirements concerning the "ooen" items of orevious NRC staff fire protection reviews of your facility. An open item is defined as a fire protection feature that has not been previously approved by the NRC staff as satisfying the provisions of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position BTP PCSB 9.5-1, as reflected in a staff fire protection safety evaluation report. The fire protection features of your f acility that are in this categorv aust satisfy the specific requirements of Appendix R by the dates established by Paragraph 50.48(c), unless an exemp-tion f rom the Appendix R requirements on those features is approved by the Comi s sion. is a summary listing of the open items concerning the fire protection features of your f acility based on a review of our records. Also included is our ocsition on the specific recuirements that nust be satisfied in order to resolve these ocen items.
If you have any questions or disagree-ments witn this enclosure, please advise us within 30 days of your receipt of this letter.

Witn regard to the fire protection modifications that have Deen creviously approved by the NRC staff, Paragraph 50.48(d) s;:ecifies a new scnedule for their comletion.
This paragraph, whun it becomes effective, will supersede the currently affective section of the regulations that temorarily suspends comletion dates for previously approved fire protection modifications that are given in facility license conditions (45 FR 71569, October 29,1980).
The Comission expects that all such modifications will be comoleted in accordance with this new schedule, unless an extensics has been requested and granted by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (see Paragraph 50.48(d)], or an exemtion has been requested and granted by the Comission pursuant to Section 50.12 of the Comission's regulations.
If you have previously requested extensions of dates for completion of modifications that are required by license conditions for your facility which were not approved, and you have determined that these extensions are still necessary and justifiable, it will be necessary for you to reapply for any such extensions in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 50.48(d).
All requests for Comission action resulting from this rule are subject to the schedule of fees specified in 10 CFR 170.21.
If you have any questions concerning the subject matters of this letter, please contact the NRC Project Manager for your facility.
Sincerely,
[, ' O mum m cw Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Division of Licensing Office of Muclear Reactor Regulation
