Docket No. 50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant

)

APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSE The New York Power Authority requests an amendment to the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A to Facility Operating License DPR-59 for the James A. FitzPatrick j

Nuclear Power Plant. This application is filed in accordance with Section 10 CFR 50.90 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulation.

This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications changes the surveillance interval from once every 1.5 years to once every refueling cycle.

The practical effect of the amendment would be to reset the start date of the current fire barrier penetration surveillance interval in Technical Specification 4.12.F.1 from September 27, 1991 to January 3,1993. Between September 27,1991 and January 3,1993 (during the 1992 refueling outage) a baseline inspection of mechanical and electrical fire barrier penetration seals was completed. Although fire doors and fire dampers were not part of the baseline inspection program, they were inspected and repaired under a similar program.

Based on the confidence gained through these inspections, the Authority proposes to i

re-establish the surveillance interval for fire barrier penetrations to once per operating cycle beginning with start-up after the 1992 refueling outage. For the purpose of this proposed surveillance interval, the operating cycle began when the reactor went critical on 1

January 3,1993.

The signed original of the Application for Amendment to Operating License is enclosed for I

filing. The proposed change to the Technical Specifications is Attachment I to this Application i

for Amendment to the Operating License. The Safety Evaluation for the proposed change is included as Attachment 11. A markup of the effected Technical Specification pages is included as Attachment Ill.
