ISU is An Equal Opporturnity Employer

The organization chart in the current Technical Specifications needs to be altered, as

• shown in the attached, since it shows both a ISU Officer and the Dean ofEngineering.

We will be changing the words "ISU Officer" to "ISU Administrative Representative," .

and will eliminate the Dean of Engineering box. We expect to submit a revision to the l Technical Specifications, for this and some other minor changes, to the NRC for review before September 1996.

Thank you for your consideration.

Since ly, Dr. nathan awson ice President for Academic Affairs JL:pt
