We have reviewed your license amendment application under Generic Letter 87-09, s9bmitted by your letter dated July 17 1990.

In addition, we request that you identify and affirm those administrative controls (e.g., maintenance program provisions,) plant operating procedures, management directives, onsite safety reviews, etc. that have been established to limit the use of the Specification 3.0.4 exceptions granted.

Your affirmation should address training necessary for ensuring that plant operators are made aware of, and are instructed to exercise the controls promulgated in limiting the use of such exceptions.
