VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY SURRY POWER STATION UNITS 1 AND 2 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE PRESSURIZER SAFETY VALVE LIFT SETPOINT TOLERANCE INCREASE Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Virginia Electric and Power Company requests amendments, in the form of changes to the Technical Specifications, to Operating Licenses DPR-32 and DPR-37 for Surry Units No. 1 and 2, respectively.

The current Technical Specifications requirements for pressurizer safety valve lift setpoint tolerances are unnecessarily restrictive. Therefore, relaxation of the lift setpoint tolerances is proposed in order to provide greater operational flexibility in meeting periodic test requirements established by safety analysis.

Attachment 1 provides the proposed Technical Specifications changes for Units 1 and

2. Attachment 2 is a safety evaluation of the proposed changes. These changes and the supporting documentation have been approved by the Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee and by the Safety Evaluation and Control Staff. It has been determined that this request does not pose any unreviewed safety question as defined in 10 CFR 50.59 nor does it pose a significant hazards consideration as defined in 1o CFR 50.92. The basis for the determination that no significant hazards consideration is involved is presented in Attachment 3 in accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (a).

Very truly yours, llL<;~~-
