SUBJECT:

CALLAWAY PLANT - TECHNICAL SPECIFICAT10N AMENDMENT RFWF.5T RELATED TO THE RELOCATION OF REVIEW AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS (TAL. N0. M90017)

Dear Mr. Schrall:

By your application dated June 21, 1994, Union Electric Company requested to amend the Callaway Technical Specificatiens to relocate the review and audit requirements of the On-site Review Committee (0RC) and Nuclear Safety Review Board (NSRB). The specific contention that prevents the staff from issuing

. the requested amendment is your proposed relocation of the review and audit requirements to the callaway Plant Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR and' ~

. control of subsequent changes to thoss requirements in accordance wit 10 CFR 50.59, " Changes Tests and Experiments." The NRC staff and Union Electric have had severai discussions regarding this issue and this letter documents the staff's positions.

The staff has found that the relocation of some technical specification requirements is acceptable provided that they are placed into an appropriate licensee controlled program. The t.equirements must be relocated to programs with adequate controls regarding future changes and provisions for NRC review if an applicable regulatory threshold is exceeded. Guidance related to the possible ralocation of requirements contained in limiting conditions for operation (LCOs) was provided by the Coenission's Final Policy Statement on Jechnical Specifications Improvements and was subsequently incorporated into a -

revis, ion of 10 CFR 50.36. The staff has discussed the acceptability of

. relocating the existing technical specification administrative controls '

related to review and audit requirements in several meetings and documents, including the October 25, 1993, letter from W. Russell to the four owners group., Generic Letter 93-07, " Modification of the Technical Specification Administrative Control Requirements for Emergency and Security Plans,' the January 17, 1995, letter from C. Grimes to the four owners grcups, and technical spec'ification amendments issued to other licensees.

While relocated LCOs have usually dependd on 10 CFR 50.59 for control of subsequent changes, the relocation of some administrative controls 'has relied upon regulatory requirements other than 10 CFR 50.59 in order to control changes and . initiate possible NRC review. The October 25, 1993, letter to the* -

owners groups specifi'cally requested'that they develop details for the .

- relocation of the affected administrative controls, including the .

. identification of the licensee-c'ontrolled documents which wouldThereceive Quality'the

~. requirements and the associated process for chan e control. .

Assurance (QA) Plan was' mentioned as a possible ocation fR GBEgca.w/tte?}g q .

relocated administrative controls. Followin  :

i the staff has worked with the owners groups.and g the October reached 25, 1993, a general letter, consensus that the review and audit requirements may be relocated to the QA Plan and i changes controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a). A letter from C.

I Grimes to the owners groups dated January 17, 1995, provided additional i

i details regarding the relocation of audit functions to the QA program. This i

letter specifically addressed the relocation of fire protection audits and ,

instructed the owners groups to retain current audit frequencies pending l future changes to the fire protection regulations. '

" In related activities initiated by the staff and industry to reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens, Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) has petitioned the NRC to revise 10 CFR 50.54(a). The pGition requests that the 1

10 CFR 50.54(a) change control process used to detemine the need for NRC 1 review be~ replaced with the criteria given in 10 CFR 50.59. The petittsn I would establish the same controls for the quality assurance program as your amendment request has proposed for the relocated review and audit frequencies, 1 l

However, the HE1 petition is in an early stage of the rulemaking process and  ;

the staff cannot foresee the final changes that will be incorporated into '-

10 CFR 50.54(a).

With respect to your application dated June 21, 1994, the staff requests that you revise your application as follows: -

1. The destination of the re1 % ted review and audit requirements should be the Callaway QA hogram, FSAR Chapter 17,

2. Your revised QA Program description should be included in the supplemental submittal.

3. As part of the QA Program provided in your supplemental submittal, the audit frequency require'nents of existing TS 6.5.2.9 may be conducted on a performance based frequency, not to exceed 24 months, except for the following: . Is

a. Audit frequencies contained in regulations (e.g., security and emergency plans as discussed in Generic Letter 93-07)

b. Fire protection equipment and program implementation at least once per 12 months utilizing either qualified offsite licensee fire protection engineer or an outside independent fire protection consultant (non-Union Electric). An outside ,

independent fire protection consultant (non-Union Electric) l

, shall be used at least every third year (Current requirements j of TS 6.5. 2.9.1) . -

\

, Should'you choose to supplement your June 21, 1994, application and" '

'l incorporate the above changes, the staff will be able to complete its review. ,

l Any changes .to the relocated review and audit requirements following issuance

. of the amendment would be performed in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54(a), ,

inc'luding any revisions that result from the NEI petition for rulemaking..

., l c l v D. F. Schnell .

If Union Electric does not wish to incorporate these changes, please submit a letter withdrawing all or portions of the original application. If a ]

supplement or a letter of withdrawal is not received within 45 days of receipt of this letter, the staff plans to issue an amendment addressing the .

administrative changes contained in the June 21, 1994, application' and deny the portion related to the relocation of review and audit requirements. )

TS Section 6. Amendment Request (OL 1156) 1 Ray informed me that he had gotten a message from the technical reviewer for this change (Bill Reckley) that the NRC fire protection group has revised its position on audit frequency. Instead of the 12 month frequency for fire protection equipment and profram l

implementation, they will now accept a 24 month performance based audit frequency. They .

still require the triennial outside independent fire protection consultant (non-Union Electric) i audit. Ray wanted to get this information to us prior ta our responding to the September 1, 1995 letter from NRC.
