providing technical assistance in
licensing, inspection, and enforcement
cases; and bringing key issues to the
attention of NRC, for appropriate action.
ACMUI members possess the medical
or technical skills needed to address
evolving issues. The current
membership is comprised of the
following professionals: (a) Nuclear
medicine physician; (b) nuclear
cardiologist; (c) medical physicist in
nuclear medicine unsealed byproduct
material; (d) therapy medical physicist;
(e) radiation safety officer; (f) nuclear
pharmacist; (g) two radiation

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Regulatory Issue Summary 2000–06,
‘‘Consolidated Line Item Improvement
Process for Adopting Standard
Technical Specification Changes for
Power Reactors,’’ was issued on March
20, 2000. The consolidated line item
improvement process (CLIIP) is
intended to improve the efficiency of
NRC licensing processes by processing
proposed changes to the standard
technical specifications (STS) in a
manner that supports subsequent
license amendment applications. The
CLIIP includes an opportunity for the
public to comment on a proposed
change to the STS after a preliminary
assessment by the NRC staff and a
finding that the change will likely be
offered for adoption by licensees. The
CLIIP directs the NRC staff to evaluate
any comments received for a proposed
change to the STS and to either
reconsider the change or announce the
availability of the change for adoption
by licensees.
A model safety evaluation and no
significant hazards determination
regarding the proposed changes to LCO
3.10.1 have been previously posted in
the Federal Register for availability on
October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050). This
notice makes available a model
application that will permit the NRC to
efficiently process amendments that
propose to modify LCO 3.10.1, and the

Applicability
Licensees opting to apply for this TS
change are responsible for reviewing the
staff’s evaluation, referencing the
applicable technical justifications, and
providing any necessary plant-specific
information. To efficiently process the
incoming license amendment
applications, the NRC staff requests that
each licensee applying for the changes
addressed by TSTF–484, Revision 0,
using the CLIIP, submit a license
amendment request that adheres to the
attached model application. Variations
from the model application in this
notice may require additional review by
NRC staff, and may increase the time
and resources needed for review.
Significant variations from the model
application, or inclusion of additional
changes to the license, may result in
staff rejection of the submittal. Each
amendment application made in
response to the notice of availability
will be processed and noticed in
accordance with applicable rules and
NRC procedures.
Public Notices
In a notice in the Federal Register
dated September 25, 2006 (71 FR

the use of a model application to
process requests to revise the TS
regarding LCO 3.10.1, ‘‘Inservice Leak

3.10.1 for Scram Time Testing Activities''

1.0 Description
The proposed amendment would revise LCO 3.10.1, and the associated
Bases, to expand its scope to include provisions for temperature
excursions greater than [200][deg]F as a consequence of inservice leak
and hydrostatic testing, and as a consequence of scram time testing
initiated in conjunction with an inservice leak or hydrostatic test,
while considering operational conditions to be in Mode 4. This change
is consistent with NRC approved Revision 0 to Technical Specification
Task Force (TSTF) Improved Standard Technical Specification Change
Traveler, TSTF-484, ``Use of TS 3.10.1 for Scram Time Testing
Activities.'' The availability of the TS 3.10.1 revision was announced
in the Federal Register on October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050) as part of
the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).
2.0 Proposed Change
Consistent with the NRC approved Revision 0 of TSTF-484, the
proposed TS changes include a revised TS 3.10.1, ``Inservice Leak and
Hydrostatic Testing Operation.'' Proposed revisions to the TS Bases are
also included in this application. Adoption of the TS Bases associated
with TSTF-484, Revision 0 is an integral part of implementing this TS
amendment. The changes to the affected TS Bases pages will be
incorporated in accordance with the TS Bases Control Program.
This application is being made in accordance with the CLIIP.
[LICENSEE] is [not] proposing variations or deviations from the TS
changes described in TSTF-484, Revision 0, or the NRC staff's model
safety evaluation (SE) published on October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050) as
part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability. [Discuss any deviations]
3.0 Background
The background for this application is adequately addressed by the
NRC Notice of Availability published on October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050).
4.0 Technical Analysis
[LICENSEE] has reviewed the safety evaluation (SE) published on
October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050) as part of the CLIIP Notice of
Availability. [LICENSEE] has concluded that the technical
justifications presented in the SE prepared by the NRC staff are
applicable to [PLANT, UNIT NO.] and therefore justify this amendment
for the incorporation of the proposed changes to the [PLANT] TS.
5.0 Regulatory Safety Analysis
5.1 No Significant Hazards Determination
[LICENSEE] has reviewed the no significant hazards determination
published on August 21, 2006 (71 FR 48561) as part of the CLIIP Notice
for Comment. The no significant hazards determination was made
available on October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050) as part of the CLIIP Notice
of Availability. [LICENSEE] has concluded that the determination
presented in the notice is applicable to [PLANT, UNIT NO.] and the
determination is hereby incorporated by reference to satisfy the
requirements of 10 CFR 50.91(a).
5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements / Criteria
A description of the proposed TS change and its relationship to
applicable regulatory requirements was provided in the NRC Notice of
Availability published on October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050).
6.0 Environmental Consideration
[LICENSEE] has reviewed the environmental evaluation included in
the safety evaluation (SE) published on October 27, 2006 (71 FR 63050)
as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability. [LICENSEE] has concluded
that the staff's findings presented in that evaluation are applicable
to [PLANT, NO.] and the evaluation is hereby incorporated by reference
