SUBJECT:

APPROVAL OF NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY'S OPERATIONAL QUAllTY ASSURANCE PLAN, REVISION 20 (TAC NOS. M95130 AND M95131)

Dear Mr. Anderson:

On April 19,1996, Northem States Power Company (NSP) submitted Revision 20 of the Operational Quality Assurance Plan (OQAP) for approval by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50.54(a). On September 25,1996, we forwarded the preliminary results of our review of Revision 20 to the OQAP. On December 19,1996, NSP submitted a revised Revision 20 of its OQAP to address the NRC staff comments.

Subsequently, on July 14,1997, NSP submitted a second revised version of Revision 20 which superseded all previous versions of the OQAP. The revised OQAP supported an application to amend the Prairie Island, Unit Nos.1 and 2, technical specifications (TS) to relocate and revise the administrative controls delineated in the TS. The amendments will be addressed by separate correspondence.

OQAP Revision 20, incorporates the following new sections: Section 7.3, " Procedures,"

Section 8.4.4, " Prairie Island Procedure Control," Section 19.12, " Prairie Island Operating Records," Section 21.0, " Prairie Island Safety Audit Committee (SAC)," and Section 22.0,

" Prairie Island Operations Committee (OC)."

Section 7.3, " Procedures," includes, verbatim, procedure related provisions included in current TS 6.5," Plant Operating Procedures," that do not have to be retained in TS to conform to Section 5.4," Procedures," of NUREG 1431, Revision 1.

Section 8.4.4, " Prairie Island Procedure Control," includes, verbatim, the control of temporary changes currently in TS 6.5.C, " Temporary Changes to Procedures."

Section 19.12, " Prairie Island Operating Records," includes, verbatim, the record retention requirements currently in TS 6.6," Plant Operating Records."

Section 21.0 defines the Prairie Island SAC function, membership, qualifications, meeting frequency, quorum, responsibilities, authority, and records provisions which agree verbatim I with the review and audit functions currently specified in TS 6.2.

Section 22.0 defines the Prairie Island Operations Committee (OC) membership, meeting frequency, quorum, responsibilities, authority, records, and procedures provisions which agree verbatim with the review and audit functions currently specified in TS 6.2.
