Acceptance Review for License Amendmen t to Adopt TSTF-545, Revision 3, "TS Inservice Testing Program Removal & Clarify SR Usage Rule Application to Section 5.5

Testing (CAC No. MF8262)

By letter dated July 25, 2016 (ADAMS accession No. ML16207A433), DTE electric company, submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Fermi 2. The proposed LAR would eliminate the Technical Specifications (TS), Section 5.5, "Inservice Testing Program," to remove requirements duplicated in American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code for Operations and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code),

Case OMN-20, "Inservice Test Frequency." Also a new defined term, "INSERVICE TESTING PROGRAM," is added to TS Section 1.1, "Definitions."

The purpose of this e-mail is to provide the results of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's acceptance review of this amendment request. The acceptance review was performed to determine if there is sufficient technical information in scope and depth to a llow the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review. The acceptance review is also intended to identify whether the application has any readily apparent information insufficiencies in its characterization of the regulatory requirements or the licensing basis of the

plant. The NRC staff has reviewed your application and concluded that it does provide technical information in

sufficient detail to enable the NRC staff to complete its detailed technical review and make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements and the protection of public health and safety and the environment. Given the lesser scope and depth of the acceptance review as compared to the detailed technical review, there may be instances in which issues that impact the NRC staff's ability to complete the detailed te chnical review are identified despite completion of an adequate acceptance review. If additional information is needed, you will be advised by separate correspondence.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
