==Dear Mr. Stello:==

Re:   St. Lucie Unit  1 Docket No. 50-335 Proposed Amendment to  Facility Operatin   License DPR-67 In accordance with 10 CFR 50.30, Florida Power 6 Light Company submits herewith three (3) signed originals and forty (40) copies of a request to amend Appendix A of Facility Operating License DPR-67.
The proposed   amendment is described below and shown on the accompanying Technical   Specification  page bearing the date of this letter in the lower right hand corner.
Pa e 6-14 The Specification 6.8.3.c time   limit for Facility Review Group review and Plant Manager   approval of temporary procedure changes is extended from 7 days to 14 days.
The proposed amendment is, based on the Standard Techni'cal Specifications for the various Pressurized Water Reactors.
has been reviewed by the St. Lucie Plant Facility. Review'roup It and the Florida Power 6 Light Company Nuclear Review Board and they have concluded that   it does not involve an unreviewed safety question. A written safety evaluation is attached.

A~CHMENT      TO  L-77-107 A~1     4, 1977 SAFETY EVALUATION Introduction This safety evaluation supports a proposed revision to Technical Specification 6.8.3.c, which would extend the time limit for Facility Review Group,(FRG) review and Plant Manager approval of temporary changes to procedures from 7 days to 14 days.
Discussion Plant activities are conducted in accordance with preplanned methods which are described in approved procedures.              Periodically these procedures   need  to  be  revised. There  are  two  methods    by which this can be done.      First,   procedures    can  be  changed   by FRG review and Plant Manager review and approval prior to the change taking effect. This is the method used for almost all procedure changes. Second, procedures can be changed more quickly,   if necessary, by using She temporary change option permitted by Technical Specification 6.8.3. This method is provided in case a relatively rapid procedure change is needed to allow for handling conditions beyond the scope of the original procedure, to prevent an unnecessary delay in operation or maintenance, or to handle conditions encountered in implementing a procedure which were no't an'ticipated when the procedure was first written. Both of the procedure    plant change methods described procedures.
above are authorized by approved A temporary change is made only        if it  does not change the intent of the procedure, does not conflict with other facility require-ments, does not adversely affect nuclear safety, and is approved by at least two authorized members of the plant management staff.
The Facility Review Group (FRG) then reviews the, temporary change at a later date.      The FRG can cancel the temporary change, modify it, or establish     it  as a permanent change.
Manager then acts on the FRG recommendation regarding the The Plant temporary change.
Since   it is implicitly understood that performance of an approved procedure does not involve an unreviewed safety question, then any temporary change to that procedure which does not change the intent of the procedure also does, not involve an unreviewed safety question. Therefore, a written safety evaluation is not required prior to on-the-spot approval of a temporary change and the FRG is not, required to act immediately to review it.
Under the current St. Lucie Unit 1 Technical Specifications, the FRG 'is allowed 7 days to review temporary changes.             However, the Administration   Section   of  the  Standard   Technical    Specifica-tions (STS) permit   as much   as  14  days  for  review   of  temporary changes. Florida Power 6 Light Company requests authorization to utilize the longer time frame permitted by the STS in order to establish greater flexibility in scheduling FRG meetings.

I SAFETY EVALUATION   (Continued)
Conclusions The requested  change is administrative in nature and does not involve any physical change to the facility, nor does   it represent, a significant deviation from present operating philosophy.'ased on the above considerations, (1) the proposed change does not increase the probability or consequences of accidents or malfunctions of equipment important to safety and does not reduce the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification, therefore, the change does not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

AOMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 6.8.3 Temporary changes to procedures of 6.8.1 above.may               be made provided:
: a. The  intent of the original procedure is not altered.
: b. The change   is  approved by two members of the''plant management staff, at least    one of whom holds a Senior Reactor Operator's License on the    unit affected.
: c. The change   is  documented,    reviewed by the     FRG and approved by the Plant 'Manager within 1< days of hnplemeritstion.
