All Power Reactor Licensees

Gentlemen:

In order to provide a reasonable assurance that the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix I are implemented at all nuclear power facilities, the NRC staff has prepared the enclosed Appendix I model Technical Specifications. These model specifications are intended to provide guidance in the scope and types of required specifications for each faility in the areas of equipment and administrative requirements including actions we consider appropriate if a limiting condition for operation cannot be met.

The enclosure uses the Standard Technical Specification format with blanks or parentheses appearing where the infomation is plant specific.

We request that you submit a license amendment application to incorporate the applicable specifications within the number of days indicated for your facility in the attachment to this letter. A staggered submittal schedule has been selected to facilitate staff review. The staff considers such an amendment to be a CLASS III Amendment per 10 CFR 170.22, provided the application is consistent with the enclosed guidance.

If you have any questions on this matter please contact us.

Sincerely,

Brian K Grimes, Assistant Director for Engineering and Projects Division of Operating Reactors
