U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 Millstone Nuclear Power Station Unit No. 3 Proposed Revision to. Technical Specification Containment Systems (PTSCR 3-34-97)

Pursuant to 10CFR50.90, Northeast Nuclear Energy Company (NNECO), in a letter dated June 30,1997, proposed to amend Operating License NPF-49 by incorporating revisions (PTSCR 3-15-97) into the Millstone Unit No. 3 Technical Specifications 4.6.1.1, 3/4.6.1.2 and 3/4.6.1.3 and Bases Sections 3/4.6.1.1, 3/4.6.1.2 and 3/4.6.1.3.

NNECO has decided to modify that submittal by removing the request to add a footnote 1 * *"

- to Technical -Specification 4.6.1.1.a and modify footnote ** to Technical Specification 4.6.1.1.s and correcting the safety assessment description of the valves being removed from footnote ** as being inside the containment. Therefore, NNECO requests that our proposed revision to amond Operating License NPF-49, dated June 30,1997, be withdrawn and replaced by this proposed revision to the Millstone Unit No.

3 Technical Specifications 4.6.1.1, 3/4.6.1.2 and 3/4.6.1.3 and Bases Sections 3/4.6.1.1, 3/4.6.1.2 and 3/4.6.1.3.

Description of Proposed Revision Technical Specifications 4.6.1.1, 3/4.6.1.2 and 3/4.6,1.3 require the testing of the (Jo/
