Dear Mr. Vassallo:

In accordance with the applicable provisions specified in 10CFR50, OO Nebraska Public Power District requests that the Technical J

j Specifications for Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) be revised as indicated on the enclosed revised pages and as discussed below.

I YO References 1 and 2 required that the District perform independent review of the subject programs at 12-month intervals. The present CNS Technical Specifications require that the Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB) perform an independent review at a 24-month interval, while the CNS Emergency Plan and Security Plan require that the Quality Assurance Department perform an independent review at 12-month intervals. In discussions with the staff, the District was requested to revise the SRAB review requirements of the Technical Specifications so that confusion would not exist between QA and SRAB reviews and regulatory requirements.

Format and editorial changes are also proposed to bring the Administrative Control Section (Section 6.0) of the CNS Technical Specifications into closer conformance with the Standard Technical Specifications. This change will allow for easier revision in the future at the request of the NRC as well as alleviating confusion as to interpretation.

These changes have been reviewed by the necessary safety review committees. As stated in References 1 and 2, because this Technical Specification is clarifying and made at the request of the Commission, the District is not required to remit a license fee for the change.

A marked-up copy of the present Technical Specifications are being sent directly - to our Project Manager to assist him in assessing the editorial changes involved.

Should you have any questions or require additional information, please contact me.

In addition to three signed originals, 37 copies are also submitted for your use.

Sincerely, ay /. Pilant- k . W M^
