BEFORE THE UNITED STATES

, NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION t

In'the Matter of )

NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY ) Docket No.50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant )

APPUCATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING UCENSE Pursuant to Section 50.90 of the regulations of the tWclear Regulatory Commission, the New York Power Authority, as holder of Facility Operating Ucense No. DPR-59, hereby applies for an Amendrnent to the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A of this license.

This application proposes to revise the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant Technical Specifications to incorporate two distinct changes. The first change reflects the LPCI (Low Pressure Coolant injection) loop-selection-logic modification installed during the Reload 1/ Cycle 2 refueling outage. The second change eliminates the need for redundant and unnecessary surveillance testing by making the terminology used consistent with existing operability criteria.

LPCI Pump Flow Surveillance The first change revises the specifications to reflect LPCI loop-selection-logic modifications installed during the Reload 1/ Cycle 2 refueling outage. Specifically, the minimum allowable LPCI pump surveillance test flow is revised to reflect the altered hydraulic characteristics of the LPCI system.

Demonstrate / Verify Terminology The second change clarifies the use of the terms " demonstrate" and " verify." The consistent usage of these two terms will eliminate the need for redundant and unnecessary surveillance testing. The proposed terminology is consistent with existing Specification 4.0.C, Bases 4.0.A

' through 4.0.D, and an NRC Generic Letter on the term operable.

The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications are Attachment I to this Application for Amendment to the Operating Ucense. The Safety Evaluation for the proposed changes is included as Attachment 11.
