Dear Sirs Pursuant to Section 50.59 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations Yankee Atomic Electric Company hereby proposes the following modification to Appendix A to Operating License No. DPR-3, Technical Specifications.
PROPOSED CHANGE: Reference is made to Section E,
" Plant Reporting Require-ments" of the Technical Specifications. We propose removing paragraph h, Environmental Monitoring, from Section E.1 and inserting it it,tp a new Section E.2 entitled Annual Reports. The present Sections E.2, E.3, and E.4 will be renumbered to E.3, E.4, and E.5 respectively. Paragraph E.1.1 and E.1.j will be renumbered E.1.h and E.1.1, respectively.
For your convenience we have enclosed pages 14 through 17 from our plant Technical Specification book showing the proposed changes.
The prc' posed change will require an annual environmental radiological report inctead of the present semi-annual report. !!inety (90) days for submission after the and of the report period will be allowed.
REASON FOR CHANGE:
Section E,
" Plant Reporting Requirements", of the Technical Specification presently indicates that environmental monitoring reports shall be filed with the NRC sixty (60) days after January 1 and July 1 of each year. This requirement had bases in Regulatory Guide 4.1,
" Measuring and Reporting of Radioactivity in the Environ. of Nuclear Power Plants, (as issued 1/18/73)".
However, in April, 1975, NRC issued Revision 1 to Regulatory Guide 4.1 which no longer specifies a frequency for reporting.
It is our understanding that the forthcoming Regulatory Guide 4.8,
" Environmental Technical Specifications for Nuclear Power Plants", will now only ask that an annualienvironmental radiological monitoring report be submitted to URC t.lthin 90 days after January 1 each year.

I United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission July 31, 1975 Attn: Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Page Two i
In accordance with what is expected in the new Regulatory Guide 4.8, we are requesting at this time that the reporting schedule for the environmental radiological monitoring program be changed to an annual report, submitted within ninety (90) days after January 1 of each year.
Action on this proposal is requested as soon as possible since the present semi-annual report schedule requires that report preparation be initiated with a report to be submitted to NRC by August 30, 1975.
This would cause a duplication of work if after this date, Regulatory Guide's 4.8 reporting schedule is incorporated into the Technical Specifications. Then the first annual report, which would be filed for the 1975-reporting period, would include data which had already been submitted in the semi-annual report.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: This proposed change is not safety related. This submittal has been reviewed by the Nuclear Safety Audit and Review Committee.
SCHEDULE OF CHANGE:
Yankee Nuclear Power Station Technical Specifications will be changed immediately upon Commission approval.
Very truly yours, YANYEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY D. E. Vandenourgh Vice President COMMONWEALTH OF Me.SSACHUSETTS)
