1.0 INTRODUCTION

Southern California Edison Company Sy letter dated February 14,)1989, (SCE), et al. (the licensees, requested a change to the Technical Speci-fications for Facility Operating Licenses No. NPF-10 and NPF-15 that authorize operation of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS),

Units 2 and 3 in San Diego County, California.

2.0 EVALUATION Individuals who are designated to be responsible for directing the licensed activities of licensed operators are required by 10 CFR 50.54(1) to maintain a senior reactor operator (SRO) license. At SONGS Units 2 and 3, the Assistant Plant Superintendent is designated to be responsible for directing the licensed activities of licensed operators. Technical Specification 6.2.2.g specifies the SRO license requiren.cnts for the unit staff, however, it does not address the Assistant Plant Superintendent position. The proposed change would modify Section 6.2.2 9 to explicitly require the Assistant Plant Superintendent to hold an SR0 license. The American National Standard ANSI /ANS-3.1-1987 provides guidarice on the qualifications of the unit staff. The proposed Technical Specification change conforms to that guidance.

Because this change meets the intent of 10 CFR 50.54(1) and ensures that the requirement is met, it is acceptable.
