e Document Control Desk SEP 11 7996 LR-N96289 Attac:::hrnent A The following represents the commitments that Public Service Electric

& Gas (PSE&G) made to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) relative to this LER (311/96-002-01). The commitments are as follows:

1. Oxygen concentration levels were restored to Technical Specifications requirements at Unit 2.

2. Oxygen concentration levels were restored to Technical Specifications requirements at.Unit 1 as of August 1, 1996.

3. The problems with this Technical Specification have been communicated to the operating crews. Isolation of waste gas from all holdup tanks, if oxygen levels exceed 4 percent, will be carefully evaluated since such action may cause uncontrolled release of waste gas into the Auxiliary Building. If isolation of all waste gas is not practical, the tank with the high oxygen levels will be isolated and purged, and another tank will be placed in service, as described in the UFSAR. If this occurs prior to a change to the Technical Specifications, a supplement to this LER will be submitted.

4. Operations Management has emphasized the need to comply with the intent and the exact wording of the Technical Specifications, and to immediately address any issues where the intent and the wording are in conflict.

5. A request to resolve Technical Specification 3.11.2.5 administrative/wording problems was submitted to the NRC on August 15, 1996.
