l The proposed amendment has been reviewed and approved by Commonwealth Edison's on-site and off-site review in accordance with Company procedures.

The Technic al Specification Upgrade Program proposes chanaes to each section of the existing Technical Specifications. As such, Commonwealth Edison requests that the proposed amendments be approved and issued as one document rather than as individual sections. Commonwealth Edison respectfully requests the NRC's approval of the upgraded Technical Specifications by July 1,1992.

To the best of my knowledge and belief, the statements contained are true and correct, in some respects, these statements are not based on my personal knowledge but obtained information furnished by other Commonwealth Edison employees and consultants. Such information has been reviewed in accordance with Company practice and I believe it to be reliable.

Commonwealth Edison is notifying the State of Illinois of this application for amendment by transmitting a copy of this letter and its attachments to the wesignated State Official.

Please direct any questions concerning this proposed amendment to J. Schrage at 708/515-7283. (
