j' Plants." requirements for the Wolf Creek Generating Station Inservice Testing (IST) Program. Subsequently, by letter dated-July 1, 1997 you withdrew the '

relief request The. proposed relief request would have allowed alternative te. sting of the u I spring-loaded check valve; BGV0135. The NRC staff. agrees that if~a valve is i s' not deIigned 'to the overpressure protection requirements of ASME Section III.

l 1t is not required to be tested to the ASME'OMa 1988. Part 10. Category C.

4 safety and relief valve requirements, even if the valve performs an-overpressure protection safety function. Alset the NRC staff agrees with'the

. -lscansee's position that valve BGV0135 should be tested in accordance with the

ASME DMa 1988 Part 10 Category C check valves requirements. Therefore, the relief is.no longer needed and the request for with'irawal of Relief Request 2VR-9 is granted.
