1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated March 8, 1991, Iowa Electric Light and Power Company (IELP) requested changes to the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) Operating License (OL) to extend effectiveness of the DAEC Plan for Integrated Scheduling of Plant Modifications for DAEC from May 3, 1991 (the expiration date specified in Amendment 161), to May 3,1996.

This change to subparagraph 2 of paragraph 2.C(6) of the OL will allow IELP to continue the use of its Integrated Plan.

This request is being submitted with no changes to the Integrated Plan as asproved by the NRC under Amendments 91, 125, 148, and 161 with the exception that the new extension will be for a 5-year period instead of 2 years.

2.0 EVALUATION The Integrated Plan is purely an administrative scheduling tool which facili-tates IELP's effective management of implementation of plant modifications which have been required or proposed by the NRC as'well as other measures to enhance plant safety and reliability which have been identified by lELP.

The plan integrates planned work at DAEC over a nominal 5-year period to ensure that individual tasks are effectively scheduled and coordinated while reflecting that fiscal and manpower resources are finite and that a limit on the on-site manpower is necessary.

Therefore, continuation of the use of the Integrated Plan has no effect on the safe operation of the plant, its systems and/or its eouipment. Conse-quently, the staff has concluded that extending the expiration date of the Plan for Integrated Scheduling from May 3, 1991, to May 3, 1996 will not affect the safe operation of the DAEC.

Based on the above discussion, the staff concludes that this proposed amendment is acceptable.
