Proposed Amendment to Technical Specifications Diesel Fuel Oil Standards A. Narrative The present Technical Specification surveillance requirement mandates that diesel fuel oil be sampled and checked for quality in accordance with specific American Society of Testing and Materials standards (ASTM). The ASTM standards, cited in the current Technical Specifications, have been discontinued and replaced with newer standard reference sources. This .

proposed change will provide new standard reference sources in the two locations of Technical Specifications where diesel fuel oli standards are mentioned.

8. Reason for Change The recommended Technical Specification change is consistent with the current industry practice of utilizing the prevalent quality standard recommended by the American Society of Testing and Materials.

C. Safety Considerations These changes do not present an unreviewed safety question as defined in 10CFR50.59. They have been reviewed and approved by the Operations Review Committee, and reviewed by the Nuclear Safety Review and Audit Committee.

D. Significant Hazards Consideration The NRC has provided guidance concerning the appItcation of standards for determining whether license amendments involve significant hazards considerations by providing certain examples (48FR14870). The change of the Technical Specification surveillances to meet the current industry standard for diesel fuel oil quality constitutes: (1) A purely administrative change to Technical specifications; for example, a change to achieve consistency throughout the Technical Specifications by replacing a discontinued reference to a diesel fuel oil standard with the current ASTM standard to test the quality of diesel fuel oil used in emergency generators and the fire system emergency pump. The changes are purely administrative in context and do not involve a significant hazards consideration.

E. Schedule of Change I f

This amendment will be effective 30 days af ter receipt of approval by the l NRC.

F. Application Fee l

Pursuant to 10CFR170.12(c), Boston Edison submits the enclosed check

  1. 936912 as payment for the application fee to cover the submittal of this Technical Specification change request.
