MILLSTONE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNIT NO. 3 (TAC NO. M92298)

Dear Mr. Nocci:

By letter dated May 1,1995, as supplemented October 20,1995, and March 11,1999, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (the licensee) requested changes to the Millstone Unit 3 Technical Speedications (TS) 3/4.4.5, " Steam Generators," and TS 3/4.6.1, " Primary Containment." The requested changes would increase certain surveillance requirements to support a 24-month fuel cycle. In addition, the licensee requested a schedular exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J.

By letter dated October 1,1996, the NRC staff requested additional technical justification for  !

the changes. In the letter dated March 11,1999, the licensee stated that in order to respond in a manner that incorporates the most current industry objectives and requirements, its response would not be submitted until approximately September 30,1999. Since this amendment request is 'already several years old and the licensee does not expect to submit the necessary information until September 30,1999, the NRC staff is closing out TAC M92298. The staff will open a new TAC number when the necessary information is provided, c)

Sincerely, 7
