ATTH: Mr. David Bixel JRBuchanan Nuclear Licensing Assistant TBAbernathy 212 West Hichigan Avenue ACRS(16) j Jackson, Michigan 49201 Gentlemen:

RE: BIG ROCK P01hi l

The Nuclear Regulatory Comission has reviewed the information that you j

are required by your technical specifications to subnit as part of an Annual Operating Report and has concludeo that noch of the infomation now included in the Annua' Operating Report can ce celetec and still i eet a

I the desired tiRC objectives. Therefore, we are planning to celete the recuire!qents for ar. Annual Operating Report provided that certain infomation presently in the Annual Operating Report continues to be reported.

The purpose of this letter is to rer,uest that you submit a pronosal tn j

delete the requirement in your technical specifications for an Annual Operating Report. There is, however, one portion of your Annual Operating Report that must be reteined in the Technical Specifications. The tabulation of occupational exposure data is needed by EC and nust continue to be subnitted on an annual basis. This tabulation riay be subcitted along with any report of facility changes, tests or experiments required pursuant to 10 CD S0.59(b), or as a separate submittal if you I

wish.

i l

In addition, we request that you concurrently modify the content of your required Monthly Operating Report. You presently may be using three report formats contained in " Reporting of Operating Information - Appendix A Technical Specifications" Regulatory Guide 1.16 as your nonthly report.

The " Average Daily Unit Power Level" femat remains the sane and sneuld continue to be used. The other two femats, "Operatino Data Report" and " Unit Shutdowns and Power P. eductions", along with their associated instructions for completing the formats, have been revised slightly.

These revised fomats should be used starting with your monthly report I

for January 1978. Twelve copies of each of the current fomats and the I

associated instructions are enclosed for your use. Additional copies may be obtained from our Office of Management Infonnation and Progran n

1.

Along with the three report fonnats that provide much of the gg

Coasumers Power Company

-?-

SEP 181977 needed monthly operating information, we request that you provide a F

" Narrative Summary of Operating Experience" that descrioes the operation of the facility, including major safety-related maintenance, for the monthly 1

report period. The sumnary should be of the style ano detail similar to that previously prepared for inclusion into the Annual Operating Report.

This requested "Harrative Suniiary of Operating Experience" is to cever 1

each one-month period only an:i is part of the lionthly Operating Report which shoulc be subnitted by the tenth of the montn following the calendar L

month covered by the report to. the Director, Office of P.anagenent Infon'ation a

and Progran Control.

You should state your intentions with respect to provicing this revised Monthly Operating Report when you subnit a proposel to delete. the Annuel Operating Report.

l In lieu of the 1977 Annual Operating Report, the RC will cmpile, from j

previously subriitted reports, that infomation now judged necessary.

This compilation of operating data will be transritted to each licensee j

i for validation and addition of any missing data. Aaditionally, a sen5 rate, I

one-tine only, "Narrstive Summary of Operating Experience" will bc l

required to cover the transition perica (calendar year 1977) because the narrative of operating experience was not subnitted with previous j

Monthly Operating Reports nor will there be an Annual Operating Report which would have contained the narrative.

I f

We request that you (1) propose a change to your technical specifications thet would delete the requirenent for an Annual Operating Report, (2) j l

mouify the content of your monthly report, (3) provide any missing data f

in the summary compilation which will be prepared and transmitted to you i

by NRC, and (4) provide a narrative of operating experience for the ycar 1977. We believe tht.t this new reporting program will represent a significant paperwork reduction, provide more timely infomation and eliminato unnecessary i nfo rmation. We request that you r. ale a submittal as soon as possible, Dut no later than November 1,1977, so we may delete the reauirecent for the submittal of an Annual Operating Report by Herch 1,1976.

TEST STATUS is defined as that period following ' i-m tial criticality during which the unit is tested at succes-sively higher outputs, culminating with operation at full power for.a sustained period and completion of war-ranty runs. Following this phase, the unit is generally considered by the utility to be available for commercial opd ation.
