Attachment I to WH 88-0057 Page 3 of 3 February 26, 1988 The Maintenance Support Supervisor, currently reporting to the Superintendent of Maintenance in T.S. Figure 6.2 2 is being replaced by Electrical Maintenance and Mechanical Maintenance. This revision will enhance organizational effectiveness by allowing both Electrical Maintenance and Mechanical Maintenance, previously reporting to the Maintenance Support Supervisor, to report directly to the Manager of Maintenance and Modifications.
The fifth set [f requested revisions invcive changes to the Plant Safety Review Conalttte (PSRC) composition as shown in T.S. Section 6.5.1.2.
T.S. Secti.cn 6.5.1.2 is being revised to reflect the assignment of the Manager of Plant Support as the PSRC Chairman and the removal of the Plant Manager from the PSRC. This change is intended to provide effective oversight 1 of all PSRC activities. T.S. 6.5.1.2 is also being revised to reflect the deletion of the Superintendent of Regulatory, Quality and Administrative Service s and the title changes for the other Superintendent positions and the Supervisor Instrument and Control shown in Section 6.5.1.2. This revision does not change overall organizational commitments.
The proposed revisions do not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety evaluated previously in the Safety Analysis Report. These changet involve only organizational enhancements and therefore have no effect on plant equipment or the technical qualifications of plant personnel.
The proposed revisions do not create the possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the Safety Analysis Report. These changes involve revising nomenclature and reporting relationships and as such, do not affect ' cle overall number or qualifications of personnel who operate Wolf Creek Genefating Station, nor do they involve any changes to plant systems or the overali oporating philosophy of Wolf Creek Generating Station.
The proposed revisions do not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification. These revisions do not involve any changes in overall organizational commitments. Organizational enhancements alone do not reduce any margin of safety.
Based on the above discussions and the considerations presented in Attachment II, the proposed revisions to the VCGS Technical Specifications do not increase the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis reports or create a possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any previously evaluated in the safety analysis reports or reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification. Therefore. the proposed revisiona do not adversely affect or endanger the health or rifety of the general public or involve a significant safety hazard.

- and "A change that constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the Technical Specifications..."
