1 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY DOCKET NOS. 50-373 AND 50-374 i
NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The United States Nuclear Regulatory Comissiun (the Comission) 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 eliminate the provisions of Technical Specification 4.0.2.b to refuel outage 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 Specifications. This will alleviate the 1
innediate problem and prevent recurrence of this specific situation for successive operating cycles. A notice offering a prior opportunity for j
hearing on the December 4, 1987 original amendment request was published on Decerber 22,1987(52FR48474).
Prior to issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Comission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Commission's regulations.
