Notice of C.onsideration of Issuance of the amendment was published in the FEDERAL REGISTER on January 2, 1997 (62 FR 132).

Sources," TS Section 3/4.8.2, "Onsite Power Distribution Systems," TS Table 4.8.1, " Battery Surveillance Requirements," and the associated bases. Surveillance requirements were modified to account for an increase in the fuel cycle. Administrative changes were also made.

The proposed changes to TS 4.8.1.1.1.b, TS-4.8.1.1.2.d, TS 4.8.2.3.2.d and TS 4.8.2.3.2.f were denied in part. The proposed change to TS 4.8.2.3.2.e was denied. The licensees requested to remove the restriction "during P
