Dear Mr. Denton:

Representatives of the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO) and General Electric Company (GE) met with members of your Staff on June 9, 1983 to discuss concerns expressed by the Resident Inspector in Inspection item 82-15-11. In accordance with the direction provided during that meeting, LILCO commits to the following:

(1) Trip setpoint values contained in the SNPS Technical Specifications will be considered as ABSOLUTE VALUES for the setpoint; i.e. when "less than or equal to" is specified, no positive tolerance will be allowed above the setpoint. Conversely, when " greater than or equal to" is specified, no negative tolerance will be allowed.

(2) Procedures utilized by the Shoreham Plant Staff for instrument calibration will implement this ABSOLUTE VALUE concept.

(3) Prior to Fuel Load, all trip setpoints will be verified to be set consistent with the Technical Specifications.

LILCO believes these commitments satisfy the NRC concerns and tnat the matter of the above inspection item can be closed.
