Rockville, MD 20852
Dear Sirs:
The Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) submitted Revision 3 of TSTF-493, "Clarify
Application of Setpoint Methodology for LSSS Functions" to the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) by letter dated January 18, 2008. This revision to TSTF-493 responded to
the NRC staff requests for additional information on TSTF-493, Revision 2 provided in writing on
July 25, 2007. The changes outlined in TSTF-493 Rev. 3 pertain to technical specifications
requirements to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.36(d)(1)(ii)(A) for limiting safety system settings for automatic protective devices related to variables having significant safety functions.
Limiting safety system settings are currently defined in the Standard Technical Specifications and Bases for Babcock & Wilcox Plants (NUREG-1430), Combustion Engineering Plants (NUREG-1432), General Electric Plants (NUREG-1433 and NUREG-1434) and Westinghouse
Plants (NUREG-1431).
In consideration of the NRC intention to have a more disciplined review process for TSTFs, the
NRC staff is closing out its review of TSTF-493, Rev. 2 due to exceeding the milestone
response by 45 days. As part of the action to permanently close out TAC MD5249, the NRC
staff has issued TAC MD8023 for all new charges and set milestones target completion dates
for the Federal Register Notification for Comment and Notice of Availability to be June 13, 2008
and September 12, 2008, respectfully.
If you have any questions related to this issue or action please contact Carl Schulten at (301)
415-1192 or e-mail css1@nrc.gov.
