BEFORE THE UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION in the rnatter of )

NEW YORK POWER AUTHORITY ) Docket No. 50-333 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant )

APPLICATION FOR AMENDMENT TO OPERATING LICENSE The New York Power Authority requests an amendment to the Technical Specifications contained in Appendix A to Facility Operating License DPR-59 for the James A.

FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. This application is filed in accordance with Section 10 i CFR 50.90 of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulation.

This application for an amendment to the James A. FitzPatrick Technical Specifications requests a one-time extension of the interval to various surveillance requirements. The first request pertains to bench checking and disassembling of safety / relief valves as required by Technical Specifications 1 4.6.E.1 and 4.6.E.2. The second request pertains to functionally testing ten percent of each snubber type as required by Technical Specification 4.6.l.3.

The third request pertains to testing instrument line excess flow check valves as required by Technical Specification 4.7.D.1b. The Authority is requesting an extension for these surveillance requirements until the end of the next refueling outage, currently scheduled in January,1995.

Extensions to the normal surveillance intervals are required in order to facilitate testing during the next scheduled refueling outage in January,1995. Typically, an eighteen month surveillance interval, with the 25% extension allowed by Technical Specification 4.0.B.1 is sufficient to accommodate normal variations in the length of an operating cycle. However, since FitzPatrick had an extended fourteen month outage from November,1991 to January,1993, the continuity of the normal refueling outage schedule was interrupted. Granting this proposed one-time change will make it unnecessary to schedule a lengthy mid-cycle maintenance outage to perform these surveillances. The Authority requests that the application for.this amendment be processed by August 1, 1993 since the first overdue surveillance including the 25% extension will become overdue shortly thereafter.
