Dr. Murley:

In 1990, Quad Cities Station initiated a formal program to enhance the Station's performance in various aspects of plant operation. The Performance Enhancement Program (PEP) was developed by assessing existing Improvement alans, identifying potential weaknesses and prioritizing improvement actions.

Wecessary improvements to the Technical Specifications were identified as one of the Station top priority issue. Details of the goal and methodology for the Technical Specification Upgrade Program are provided in the Executive Summary section of the proposed amenc ment. The Program has been previously discussed with members of the NRR staff.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Commonwealth Edison proposes to amend Appendix A, Technical Specifications to Facility Operating Licenses DPR 29 and DPR 30. The proaosed amendment reflects Commonwealth Edison's efforts to upgrade existing "echnical Specification Section 5.0,

Dr. Thomas E. Murley 2- July 29,1991 The proposed amendment has been reviewed and approved by Commonwealti Edison's on site and off-site review in accordance with Company procedures.

The Technical Specification Upgrade Program proposes changes to each section of the existing Technical Specifications. As such, Commonwealth Edison requests that the proposed amendments be ap3 roved and issued as one document rather than as individual sections. All proposec changes to the Technical Specifications which are developed under this program will be submitted to the Commission by no later than September 30,1991. 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 know' edge but obtained information furnished by other Commonwealth Edison employees and consultants. Such information has been reviewed in accordar o with Company practice and I believe it to be rollable.

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 designated State Official.

Please direct any questions concerning this proposed amendment to R. Stols at 708/515 7283.

Very trut o s,
