DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED CIIANGES The ANO-1 and ANO-2 Operating Licenses and ANO-1 Technical Specifications are being revised to reflect Arkansas Power and Light Company becoming Energy Arkansas, Inc.

BACKGROUND l

The company name changed effective April 22,1996. The change is that Arkansas Power & l Light Company becomes Entergy Arkansas, Inc.

DISCUSSION OF CHANGE I

This is only a name change. The corporate existence continues uninterrupted, and all legal I characteristics remain the same. Thus, there is no change in the state of incorporation, I registered agent, registered oflice, directors, officers, rights, or liabilities of the company, nor is there a change in the function of the company or the way in which it does business.

AP&L's financial responsibility for ANO and its sources of funds to support the facility will remain the same. Further, this name change does not impact the existing ownership of ANO or the existing entitlement to power and will not alter the existing antitmst license conditions applicable to AP&L or AP&L's ability to comply with these conditions or with any ofits other obligations or responsibilities under the license. To reflect the name change of Arkansas Power and Light Company to Entergy Arkansas, Inc. is an administrative change to the operating licenses. It does not require a technical, financial qualification, or an antitmst review. Therefore, this change does not reduce the level of safety imposed by the current technical specification requirements.

DETERMINATION OF NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION An evaluation of the proposed change has been performed in accordance with 10CFR50.91(a)(1) regarding no significant hazards considerations using the standards in 10CFR50.92(c). A discussion of these standards as they relate to % amendment request follows:

Criterion 1 - Does Not Involve a Significant Increase in the Probability or Consequences of an Accident Previously Evaluated.

The proposed change documents changing the legal name of the company. The proposed change will not affect any other obligations. The company will continue to own all of the same assets, will continue to serve the same customers, and will continue to honor all existing I obligations and commitments. Therefore, this change does nM involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated.

I

I l l

• Attachment to OCAN059605 Page 2 of 2 Criterion 2- Does Not Create the Possibility of a New or Different Kind of Accident from any Previously Evaluated.

i The administrative changes in the operating license requirements do not involve any change in l the design of the plant. Therefore, this change does nel create the possibility of a new or  ;

different kind of accident from any previously evaluated. i Criterion 3 - Does Not Involve a Significant Reduction in the Margin of Safety.

The proposed change is administrative in nature and does not reduce the margin of safety imposed by any current requirements. Therefore, this change does not involve a significant  :

reduction in the margin of safety.

Therefore, based upon the reasoning presented above and the previous discussion of the amendment request, Entergy Operations has determined that the requested change does aqi involve a significant hazards consideration.
