i Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant j Request To Incorporate Line-Item Improvements 1 Technical Specification Changes  ;

I Gentlemen: r v

In accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.90, enclosed are proposed Technical  !

Specification changes requested by Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) for the Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit I and Unit 2 in response to Generic Letter 93-05 dated September 27, z 1993, "Line-Item Technical Specifications Improvements to Reduce Surveillance Requirements ,

For Testing During Power Operation." The NRC issued NUREG-1366, " Improvements to l Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirements," in December 1992, which summarizes the i results of a comprehensive review of surveillance testing required by Technical Specifications.

It was determined that while some testing at power is essential to verify equipment and system  ;

operability, safety can be improved, equipment degradation decreased, unnecessary personnel i radiation exposure reduced, availability of safety related equipment increased, and unnecessary l personnel burden relaxed by reducing the amount of testing at power. The NRC subsequeatly l issued Generic Letter 93-05 encouraging licensees to propose Technical Specification changes i that are consistent with the recommendations contained in NUREG-1366.  !

I A description of the proposed technical specification changes and associated lusis are provided i in Enclosure 1. These changes conform to Generic Letter 93-05. The supporting significant {

hazards evaluation pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91 is provided in Enclosure 2. Based upon the l analysis provided, SNC has determined the proposed changes to the technicial specifications do j not involve a significant hazards consideration as defined by 10 CFR 50.92. In addition, SNC  !

has determined that the proposed license amendment will not significantly effect the quality of l the emironment.
