ACTION: Notice of Availability. SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the staff of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has prepared a model safety evaluation (SE) relating to the modification of technical specification (TS) 3.6.3, Containment Isolation Valves associated with implementation of BAW–2461–A, ‘‘Risk-Informed Justification for Containment Isolation Valve Allowed Outage Time Change.’’ The NRC staff has also prepared a model license amendment request and a model nosignificant-hazards consideration (NSHC) determination relating to this matter. The purpose of these models is to permit the NRC to efficiently process amendments that propose to modify TS Completion Times (CTs) for CIVs. Licensees of nuclear power reactors to which the models apply can then request amendments after confirming E:\FR\FM\12JAN1.SGM 12JAN1
