ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY HOPE CREEK GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50-354
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated May 24,1999, as supplemented June 21,1999, the Public Service Electric &
Gas Company (the licensee) submitted a request for changes to the Hope Creek Generating Station (HCGS) Technical Specifications (TSs). The proposed amendment would revise the TSs to correct typographical and editorial errors, and is considered administrative in nature.
The June 21,1999, letter provided clarifying information that did not change the initial proposed no significant hazards consideration determination or expand the scope of the original Federal Reoister Notice.
2.0 BACKGROUND
The licensee's submittal proposed to make the following changes to the TSs:
(1) revise TS Index pages iv, vi, vii and xiv to delete references to TS tables that were removed from the TSs in previous amendments; (2) revise TS Index pages vi, ix and x to correct TS table number references to reflect the actual table numbers within the TSs; (3) revise TS Index pages xiii, xviii and xix to correct TS page number references to reflect the actual page numbers within the TSs; and (4) revise TS Table 4.11.1.1.1-1 to correct the abbreviation for the Station Service Water System from "GSW" to "SSWS" and to delete a reference to a note that does not exist.
The licensee's submittal states that the proposed TS changes are considered to be administrative in nature and do not alter the manner in which any structure, system, or component is operated, tested, or maintained. In addition, the proposed TS changes do not represent changes to any licensing or design basis assumptions, analyses, or commitments.
