perform safety related functions. The
Technical Specification restrictions are
superseded by the worker fatigue
requirements in 10 CFR Part 26.
Working hours will continue to be
controlled in accordance with NRC
requirements. The new rule allows for
deviations from controls to mitigate or
prevent a condition adverse to safety or
as necessary to maintain the security of
the facility. This ensures that the new
rule will not unnecessarily restrict
working hours and thereby create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any accident previously
evaluated.
The proposed change does not alter
the plant configuration, require new
plant equipment to be installed, alter
accident analysis assumptions, add any
initiators, or effect the function of plant
systems or the manner in which systems
are operated, maintained, modified,
tested, or inspected.
Therefore, the proposed change does
not create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
previously evaluated.
Criterion 3: The Proposed Change Does
Not Involve a Significant Reduction in
a Margin of Safety
The proposed change removes
Technical Specification restrictions on
working hours for personnel who
perform safety related functions. The
Technical Specification restrictions are
superseded by the worker fatigue
requirements in 10 CFR Part 26. The
proposed change does not involve any
physical changes to plant or alter the
manner in which plant systems are
operated, maintained, modified, tested,
or inspected. The proposed change does
not alter the manner in which safety
limits, limiting safety system settings or
limiting conditions for operation are
determined. The safety analysis
acceptance criteria are not affected by
this change. The proposed change will
not result in plant operation in a
configuration outside the design basis.
The proposed change does not adversely
affect systems that respond to safely
shutdown the plant and to maintain the
plant in a safe shutdown condition.
Removal of plant-specific Technical
Specification administrative
requirements will not reduce a margin
of safety because the requirements in 10
CFR Part 26 are adequate to ensure that
worker fatigue is managed.
Therefore, the proposed change does
not involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety.
Based on the above, the NRC
concludes that the proposed change
presents no significant hazards
consideration under the standards set

forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and,
accordingly, a finding of ‘‘no significant
hazards consideration’’ is justified.

Biweekly Notice; Applications and
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses Involving No Significant
Hazards Considerations
I. Background
Pursuant to section 189a.(2) of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission or NRC
staff) is publishing this regular biweekly
notice. The Act requires the
Commission publish notice of any
amendments issued, or proposed to be
PO 00000
Frm 00140
Fmt 4703

issued and grants the Commission the
authority to issue and make
immediately effective any amendment
to an operating license upon a
determination by the Commission that
such amendment involves no significant
hazards consideration, notwithstanding
the pendency before the Commission of
a request for a hearing from any person.
This biweekly notice includes all
notices of amendments issued, or
proposed to be issued from December 4,
2008 to December 17, 2008. The last
biweekly notice was published on
December 16, 2008 (73 FR 76407).
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
following amendment requests involve
no significant hazards consideration.
Under the Commission’s regulations in
10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation
of the facility in accordance with the
proposed amendment would not (1)
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or (2)
create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or (3)
involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety. The basis for this
proposed determination for each
amendment request is shown below.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on this proposed
determination. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final
determination.
Normally, the Commission will not
issue the amendment until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue the license
amendment before expiration of the 60day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendment
involves no significant hazards
consideration. In addition, the
Commission may issue the amendment
prior to the expiration of the 30-day
comment period should circumstances
change during the 30-day comment
period such that failure to act in a
timely way would result, for example in
derating or shutdown of the facility.
Should the Commission take action
prior to the expiration of either the
comment period or the notice period, it
will publish in the Federal Register a
notice of issuance. Should the
Commission make a final No Significant
