UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION In the Matter of Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (R.E.Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No.1))))Docket No.50-244))APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSE Pursuant to Section 50.90 of the regulations of the U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the"Commission"), Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation

("RGSE"), holder of Provisional Operating License No.DPR-18, hereby requests that the Technical Specifica-tions set forth in Appendix A to that License be amended to add definitions for surveillance intervals.

This request for a change in the Technical Specifications is submitted in accordance with a letter from Dennis L.Ziemann, Chief, Operating Reactors Branch 52, dated August 11, 1978.The proposed technical specification change is set forth in Attachment A to this Application.

A safety evaluation is set forth in Attachment B.This evaluation also demonstrates that the proposed change does not involve a significant change in the types or a significant increase in the amounts of effluents or any change in the authorized power level of the facility.Justi-fication for classification of the amendment pursuant to 10 CFR Section 170.22 is included as Attachment C.As described in Attachment C, the request for amendment is exempt from a fee.

NHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that Appendix A to Provisional Operating License No.DPR-18 be amended in the form attached hereto as Attachment A.Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation By L.D.White, Jr.Vice President Electric and Steam Production Subscribed and sworn to before me on this/g day of October 1978 SHARON G.CAVALERI NOTARY PUBLIC, State of N.Y., Monroe County My Commission Expires h'larch 30, 19~S.

Attachment B Safety Ev'aluation The proposed change provides clarification of the sur-veillance intervals presently in the Technical Specifications but does not change any surveillance requirements.

In a limited number of cases, the precise wording for a surveillance interval is not repeated in the proposed Specification 1.12, however, it is obvious in these cases which definition applies.For example, rather than"quarterly", the words"every 3 months" or"4 times per year" may be used.In each of these cases, the definition of"at least once per 92 days" is understood to apply.As changes are proposed on pages with these alternate phrases in the future, the definitions will be brought in conformance with Specification 1.12.The allowance to adjust a specified interval by plus or minus 25%to accommodate normal'est schedules given in Specification 4.0 continues to apply.

~o Attachment C Fee Determination The proposed Technical Specification change is administrative in nature and has no safety or environmental significance since it provides clarification of surveillance intervals but does not change any surveillance requirement.

It therefore is a Class II amendment.

as defined in 10 CFR Section 170.22.Because this change is sub-mitted in response to a written commission request, a letter dated August 11, 1978 from Dennis L.Ziemann, is intended only to clarify the technical specifications; has minor (no)safety significance; and is for the convenience of the Commission, it is exempt from a fee in accordance with footnote 2 to 10 CFR Section 170.22.
