Subject:

James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 50-333 Request for Exemption from the Implementation Schedule of 10 CFR 50.49 - Equipment Qualification

Reference:

1. PASNY letter, J.P. Bayne to T.A. Ippolito, dated September 29, 1981 (JPN-81-78).

Dear Sir:

The Power Authority of the State of New York hereby requests a schedular exemption from the provisions of 10 CFR 50.49 (g) for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. This paragraph requires the submittal of a response 90 days after the effective date of the rule, i.e., by May 20, 1983. The Power Authority has not yet received a Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for our previous equipment qualification submittal (Reference 1), and we haveBecause learnedthe thatSER a

draft will not be available until April of 1983.

provides significant feedback on the Authority's position on equip-ment qualification, the lack of our review of this SER makes a Since the Rule allows a response meaningful response difficult.

time of 120 days from the date of publication, the Power Authority considers that an extension is necessary to give us adequate time to respond from the time we receive the SER. An extension is also appropriate to allow us a response period equivalent to that of other plants.

In addition, the James A. FitzPatrick NuclearPower Plant is tentatively scheduled to begin a refueling outage on May 20 of this year. For these reasons, the Power Authority requests that the response date be extended to August 19, 1983. This extension would allow sufficient time to prepare our response.

O 8303180356 830311 PDR ADOCK 05000333 P PDR

o w

The Power. Authority's existing schedule for final completion is in accordance with the Rule.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. J. A. Gray, Jr. of my staff.

Very truly yours, gi J. P. Bayne Executive Vice President Nuclear Generation cc: Mr. J. Linville Resident Inspector U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission P.O. Box 136 Lycoming, New York 13093
