Mr. W. S. Wilgus October 6, 1988 For Relief Request V-113, we have determined, in accordance with 10 CFR 55.55a(a)(3)(i), that the alternati.1 proposed by FPC provides an acceptable level of quality and safety. For Relief Requests V-191 and V-132, we have determined, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(6)(i), that the Code rey b a-ments are impractical and that the granting of the reliefs is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security and is otherwise in the public interest, giving due consideration to the burden upon the licensee that could result if the requirements were imposed on the facility.

Sincerely,

S I
