7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY J

DOCKET NOS.: 50-373, AND 50-374 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR PRIOR HEARING 1

The United States Nuclear _ Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of amendments to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-11 and NPF-18 issued to Commonwealth Edison Company (the licensee),

for operation of LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 located in LaSalle County, Illinois.

The amendments would revise Technical Specification 4.0.2.b such that

the combined time interval for any 3 consecutive surveillance intervals shall not exceed 3.25 times the specified surveillance interval" would not be appli-cable to refuel interval surveillance. With the advent of longer fuel cycles and less frequent and longer outages, LaSalle County Station is encountering difficulty completing surveillance required at a refueling interval by Technical l

Specifications. This will alleviate the immediate problem and prevent recurrence f of this specific situation for successive operating cycles.

Prior to issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as araended (theAct)andtheCommission' regulations.
