: 3. A redefinition of the surveillance interval for CEA rod drop timing tests from 18 months to every refueling outage (NPF-38-20),
: 4. Correction of an error in the characterization of uranium fuel rod loading (NPF-38-21),

W3P86-2163 In previous discussions with your Staff, LP&L has provided a summary of the Technical Specification change requests expected to be submitted prior to the first refueling outage. Attached, for your information, is an updated schedule of the proposed changes. Items 1-3, above, correspond to the reload-related Group A changes. The fuel enrichment change, in particular, is necessary to support fuel receipt in early October, 1986. Your timely attention to the Group A changes is appreciated. Items 4-6, above, are designated as non-reload related Group H changes. Please note that item 5 satisfies, in part,
!  the reporting requirements of Generic Letter 86-04, " Policy Statement on Engineering Expertise On Shift".
1 The proposed changes do not involve an unreviewed safety question nor a significant hazards consideration. Should you have any questions or require additional information concerning the requested changes, please contact Mike Meisner at (504) 595-2832.
Yours very truly,
