LICEUSES DPR-6 AND DPR \\[/M P' BIG ROCK POINT AND PALISADES PLANTS By letter dated June 7, 1976, Consumers Power Company informed the NRC tha re would submit appropriate information related to the Standard Review Plan 9 5. ',
" Fire Protection," by March 1, 1977 On September 28 and September 30, 1976 the NRC transmitted a copy of Appendix A to Branch Technical Position APCSB 9.5-1 and a copy of " Supplementary Guidance on Information Needed for Fire Protection Program Evaluation" for the Palisades and Big Rock Point Plants, respectively.
Ir.
- idition, at that same time the NRC notified Consumers Power Company that 1,roposed Technical Specifications for the fire protection systems of our facilities should be included with our submitoals. Based on our review of the information provided Consumers Power Company in September 1976, we have concluded that this information significantly alters the scope of effort that we had planned and undertaken regarding the submittal of in-formation related to the Standard Review Plan 9.5.1, " Fire Protection." Thus, this letter is to inform you that we vill be delayed in submitting an appropri-ate response to the Standard Review Plan, as amended by the NRC September 28 and 30, 1976 letters, until April 1, 1977 This delay is based on our estimate that the changes in scope vill require an additional two to four weeks of ef-fort.
Some of the scope changes that have caused an increase in the amount of time required to prepare the appropriate information are summarized in the follow-ing paragraphs.
The original guidelines required a fire hazard analyses during initial plant design (original APSCB 9 5-1, Item B1 b, Page 9 5.1-2h).
The new Appendix A, D1 b, Page 13, changed the wording to require the hazards analyses to be made on both new construction and operating plants and to be updated after any plant modifications. The original scope of the evaluation did include a fire hazards analysis; however, the proposed hazards analysis was not to the level required by Enclosure 2 to Appendix A.

2, Appendix A, APCSB 9.5-1, Item 1 (c) and (d) requires quantitizing the combustible material which is considerably more detailed than previously required. This section also requires submittal of plan and elevation drawings broken up into distinct fire areas and/or fire zones whereat the original guidelines permitted a description rather than drawings.
Item C1, Page 23, is new scope because deviations of fire detection and suppres-sion systems from NFPA 72D must be identified and justified. This is a good-sized time-consuming task.
