Nuclear Regulatory Commission December 18, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Notice is hereby given that the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has prepared a model license amendment request (LAR), model safety evaluation (SE), and model proposed no significant hazards consideration (NSHC) determination related to changes to Standard Technical Specification (STS) 3.7.5 (STS 3.7.4 for BWR/6), ``Control Room Air Conditioning (AC) System'' for NUREG-1433 and NUREG-1434. The proposed changes would also revise the Bases for STS 3.7.5 (STS 3.7.4 for BWR/6). The General Electric Boiling Water Reactor Owners Group (BWROG) participants in the Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) proposed these changes to the STS in TSTF-477, Revision 3, ``Add an Action for Two Inoperable Control Room AC Subsystems.'' The purpose of these models is to permit the NRC to efficiently process amendments to incorporate changes into plant-specific Technical Specifications (TS) for General Electric Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). Licensees of nuclear power reactors to which the models apply can request amendments conforming to the models. In such a request, a licensee should confirm the applicability of the model LAR, model SE and NSHC determination to its plant. The NRC staff is requesting comments on the model LAR, model SE and NSHC determination before announcing their availability for referencing in license amendment applications.
