l BEFORE THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION in the Matter of )

NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY ) Docket No. 50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant )

APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSE The New York Power Authority requests an amendment to the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A to Facility Operating License DPR-59 for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. This application is filed in accordance with Section.10 CFR 50.90 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulations.

This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications (TS) proposes changes to TS Table 3.2-2, " Core and Containment Cooling System initiation and Control Instrumentation Operability Requirements." The proposed changes will revise allowed outage times (AOTs) for 4kV Emergency Bus Undervoltage Trip Functions. The AOTs for these trip functions were extended by Amendment 227; however, the AOT extensions for these trip functions were not consistent with the requirements of Standard Technical Specifications (STS), NUREG-1433, and differed from the recommendations in the associated Licensing Topical Report.

Additional changes are proposed to TS Table 3.2-2 and to TS Table 4.2-2, " Core and Containment Cooling System Instrumentation Test and Calibration Requirements." These changes will: (1) replace the generic actions for inoperable instrument channels with function-specific actions, (2) replace the generic test AOT with function-specific test AOTs, and (3) ,

relocate selected trip functionc from the TS to an Authority controlled document. This will ensure consistency with STS, simplify the use of TS, and streamline STS conversion by -

minimizing the differences between current TS and STS. The changes will also enhance safety by ensuring that an inoperable instrument channel is not placed in the tripped condition when this condition is not a safe state for the channel.

Attachment I contains the proposed new TS pages and Attachment 11 is the Safety Evaluation for the proposed changes. A markup of the affected TS pages is included as Attachment 111. ,

Attachment IV lists the commitments contained in this submittal.
