JOINT LICENSING SUBCOMMITTEE METHODOLOGY FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONALINFORMATION The following methodology is followed for submitting additional information:

1, Each licensee is submitting a separate response for each section.

2. If an RAI does not apply to a licensee (i.e., does not actually impact the information that defines the technical specification change for that licensee), "NA" has been entered in the index column labeled " ENCLOSED" and no information is provided in the response for that licensee.

3. If a licensee initiated change does not apply, "NA" has been entered in the index column labeled " ENCLOSED" and no information is provided in the response for that Ucensee.

4. The common portions of the " Additional Information Cover Sheets" are identical, except for brackets, where applicable (using the same methodology used in enclosures 3A, 3B,4,6A and 6B of the conversion submittals). The list of attached pages will vary to 1 match the licensee specific conversion submittals. A licensee's FLOG response may not address all applicable plants if there is insufficient similarity in the plant specific responses to justify their inclusion in each submittal. In those cases, the response wi;i be prefaced with a heading such as " PLANT SPECIFIC DISCUSSION."

5. Changes are indicated using the redline / strikeout tool of Wordperfect or by using a  !

hand markup that indicates insertions and deletions. If the area being revised is not  ;

clear, the affected portion of the page is circled. The markup techniques vary as l necessary, based on the specifics of the area being changed and the complexity of the changes, to provide the clearest possible indication of the changes.

6. A marginal note (the Additional Information Number from the index) is added in the right margin of each page being changed, adjacent to the area being changed, to identify the source of each change.

7. Some changes are not applicable to one licensee but still require changes to the l Tables provided in Enclosures 3A,3B,4,6A, and BB of the originallicense amendment request to reflect the changes being made by one or more of the other licensees.

These changes are not included in the additional information for the licensee to which the change does not apply, as the changes are only for consistency, do not technically affect the request for that licensee, and are being provided in the additional information being provided by the licensees for which the change is applicable. The complete set of changes for the license amendment request will be provided in a licensing amendment request supplement to be provided later.

JOINT LICENSING SUBCOMMITTEE METHODOLOGY FOR PROVIDING ADDITIONALINFOhMATION (continued)

8. The item numbers are formatted as follows: [ Source][lTS Section]-(nnn]

Source = Q - NRC Ouestion CA- AmerenUE DC-PG&E-WC - WCNOC CP - TU Electric TR - Traveler  ;

ITS Section = The ITS section associated with tie : tem (e.g., 3.3). If all sections are potentially impacted by a broad change or set of ch::.1ges, "ALL"is used for the section number.

nnn = a three digit sequential number or ED (ED indicates editorial correction with no impact on meaning) i

l ADDITIONAL INFORMATION COVER SHEET ADDITIONAL INFORMATION NO: Q 3.4. Gen-1 APPLICABILITY: CA, CP, DC, WC l REQUEST: ITS 3.4.x Bases 1

! There have been a number of instances that the specific changes to the STS Bases are not properly identified with redline or strikeout marks.

l Comment: Perform an audit of all STS Bases markups and identify instances where additions and/or deletions of Bases were not properly idenufied in the original submittal.

i FLOG RESPONSE: The submitted ITS Bases markups for Section 3.4 have been compared to the STS Bases. Some differences that were identified were in accordance with the markup methodologies (e.g., deletion of brackets and reviewer's notes). Most of the differences were l editorial in nature and would not have affected the review. Examples of editorial changes are:

1) Capitalizing a letter with only a " redline" but not striking out the lower case letter that it replaced.

!. Changing a verb from singular to plural by adding an "s" without redlining 2) the "s".

3) Deleting instead of striking-out the A, B, C, etc., following a specification title (e.g., SR 3.6.6A.7).

4) Changing a bracketed reference (in the reference section) v ith only a

" redline" for the new reference but failing to include the strika-out of the old reference.

5) In some instances the brackets were retained (and struck-out) but the unchanged text within the brackets was not redlined.

6) Not redlining a title of a bracketed section. The methodology calls for the section title to be redlined when an entire section wa . ' mcketed.

7) Additional text not contained in the STS Bases was added to the ITS Bases by the lead FLOG member during the development of the ,

submittal. Once it was determined to not be applicable, the text was then struck-out and remains in the ITS Bases markup.

Differences of the above editorial nature will not be provided as attachments to this response.

The pages requiring changes that are more than editorial and are not consistent with the l markup methodology are attached.
