ENCLOSURE l RE0 VEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATI0tf FITZPATRICK RESPONSE TO NRC BULLETIN 90-01. SUPPLEMENT 1

1. The Power Authority of the State of New York's (PASNY's) response dated March 5, 1993, stated that the once per operating cycle calibration drift monitoring program will continue for at least the next two operating cycles for those Rosemount transmitters exposed to normal operating pressures below 500 psig and for those that have reached the maturity (psi-month) threshold criterion. How will PASNY maintain a high degree of confidence in the performance of these transmitters beyond this monitoring period as requested in Items 1.e and 1.f of the bulletin supplement?

2. Does the enhanced surveillance monitoring program described in Attachment 2 of PASNY's response meet the accuracy requirements of Rosemount Technical Bulletin No. 47

3. Have the 22 transmitters that required an additional 12 days of exposure to normal operating pressure to reach the 60,000 psi-month maturity threshold reached this threshold at this time?
