WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-OD01 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 91 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-43 D_ETROIT EDISON COMPANY FERMI-2 DOCKET NO. 50-341

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated March 23, 1993, the Detroit Edison Company (DECO or the licensee) requested an amendment to the Technical Specifications (TS) appended to Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 for Fermi-2.

The proposed amendment would revise the semiannual reporting requirement for the Radioactive Effluent Release P,eport to an annual reporting requirement in accordance with a recent change to 10 CFR 50.36a.

The amendment would also modify TS 6.8.3 to allow the Plant Manager to delegate, in writing, approval authority for plant procedures to a management representative responsible for that functional area vice the "Section Superintendent."

2.0 EVALUATION The proposed replacement of the word " Semiannual" with " Annual" for the Radioactive Effluent Release Report will bring the title of this report in compliance with the new requirements of 10 CFR 50.36a. This will permit submittal of the report on an annual basis rather than semiannual, thus reducing the frequency of regulatory review.

In addition, the submittal date has been extended from 60 to 90 days after January 1 of each year. This extension will provide the additional time necessary for preparation and review of a report that will contain data gathered over a longer time period. This time period for submittal is acceptable to the staff.

With respect to the proposed change relating to the Plant Manager's delegation of approval for Plant Procedure changes, currently, Technical Specification 6.8.3 allows the Plant Manager to delegate approval authority in writing for specific types of procedures to a Section Superintendent. This reflected the organizational titles in effect at the time of the approval of this specification.

Changing the designation as proposed to " management representative responsible for a functional area," retains the intent that approval authority be limited to the appropriate level of management experience. The change allows flexibility in assigning titles reducing the need for the future TS changes and is acceptable to the staff.
