STN 50-457 NOTICE OF PARTIAL DENIAL OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSES AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has partially denied a request by Commonwealth Edison Company (Comed, the licensee) for an amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-37, NPF-62, NPF-72 and NPF-77, issued to the licensee for operation of Byron Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Ogle County, Illinois and Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, located in Will County, Illinois. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this amendment was pa61ished in the FEDERAL REGISTER on February 28, 1996 (61 FR 7547).
l The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the Technical Specifications (TS) to replace the existing scheduling requirements for overall integrated and local containment leakage rate testing with a requirement to perform the testing in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option B.
As part of its submittal, Comed proposed to revise the TS regarding the testing of valves with resilient seal material. The scope of the staff's revisions to 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, did not include changes to testing of such valves and Comed's submittal did not include sufficient i
information for the staff to evaluate the proposed change independently of the 1
l others. Therefore, the staff has concluded that that portion of the licensee's request can not be granted. The licensee was notified of the Commission's partial denial of the proposed change by a letter dated April 4, 1996.
