Subject:

The inclusion of this provision will permit additional time for minor repairs should the unit experience an air handling unit failure involving the_ j Containment Lower Compartment Ventilation system (VL). j Performing ~these repairs while the Unit is on-line will avoid an unnecessary forced shutdown and the resulting transient.

l Attachment 1 contains the marked up Technical Specification l pages indicating the proposed change-and the revised copies  :

of the pages ready for amendment number insertion.  !

Attachment 2 contains a brief description of the system, a .

description of the proposed change,. reasons for the change, J the technical justification, and the safety analysis.  ;

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.91, Attachment 3 provides the  !

analysis performed in accordance with the standards I contained in 10 CFR 50.92. This analysis concluded that i the proposed change does not involve a significant hazards consideration. Attachment 4 reflects the environmental impact statement.
