Subject:

Proposed Generic Letter - 10 CFR 50.54(p) Process for Changes to Security Plans Without Prior NRC Approval Duquesne Light Company (DLC) is responsible for the operation of Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2. DLC is submitting the following comments on the l proposed generic letter, "10 CFR 50.54(p) Process for Changes to Security Plans Without Prior NRC Approval," (60 FR 31326, June 14,1995). The proposed generic letter would serve to clarify the language of Part 50.54(p) to "make no change which l would decrease the effectiveness of a security plan, . . . or safeguards contingency plan."  !

The end result will be the establishment of a process using specific screening criteria to allow elimination of security plan commitments that go beyond Part 73.55 requirements and to do so without prior Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) approval.

DLC agrees with the Nuclear Energy Institute's comments to the NRC on the proposed generic letter. The proposed clarification of the language in Part 50.54(p) and the provided screening criteria are appropriate. Resource savings can result from the elimination of security plan commitments that are no longer considered of value.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this issue. If you have any questions conceming this submittal, please contact Mr. M. R. Johnston, Manager, Nuclear Security ,

l Department, (412) 393-7812.
