2 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comuisslor.
October 15, 1991 As described by Section 13.1.4.6.6 of the _'pdated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), the Operations Superintendent ext 'es the duties and responsibilities described in ANSI N18.1-1 as requiring an SRO license.
TVA does not consider the duties and respc ibilities of the Operations Manager to also require an SRO license. E:vever, TVA recognizes that the f unctions described for the Operations Manager in TVA's Organizational Topical Report and the Sequovah UFSAR could imply that the Operations Manager should also hold an SRO license. To resolve this issue. TVA will revise its Organizational Topical Report in a manner similar to that proposed in Enclosure 1 by April 1S, 1992, the date of the next annual update for that document. Please note that a similar change is not being proposed for the UFSAR as the UFSAR is being revised to reterence the Organization Topical Report.
Accordingly, TVA requests that NRC reconsider its denial of the proposed change to Section 6.2.2.f of the TS to change the title of Operations Manager to Operations Superintendent as the position on the Operations department staf' that is required to hold an SRO license.
Enclosure 2 contains a summary of commitments contained in this letter.
Please direct questions concerning this matter to J. D, Smith at (615) 843-6672.
Sincerely,
