Vice President, Nuclear Operations Public Service Company of Colorado P. O. Box 840 Denver, Colorado 80201-0840

SUBJECT:

FIRE PROTECTION EXEMPTIONS FOR FORT ST. VRAIN We are responding to your letter dated April 28, 1986, regarding an exemption from fire protection requirements pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12. Although technical review of the exemptions has not been completed, your submittals adequately address the Section 50.12 special circumstances criteria.

Therefore, no further information need be submitted at this time.

Your request for schedular relief from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.48 cannot be acted upon. The Section 50.48 schedule for Fort St. Vrain has expired and therefore cannot be extended by exemption. However, in our letter dated July 10, 1985, we accepted your proposed interim compensatory measures justifying operation of the facility during the period of noncompliance. Continued operation of Fort St. Vrain is permissible based upon these measures pending completion of all required fire protection modifications.

Sincerely, original si.gned by Kenneth L. Heitner, Project Manager Standardization and Special Projects Directorate Division of PWR Licensing-B Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation cc: See next page
