INDIAN POINT UNIT NOS. 1 ANT) 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-3 AND 50-247 FEBRUARY 2000

SECTION I - Description of Chantj~e The proposed administrative changre seeks to delete, in Section 5.4.1, the reference to and the discussions about Section 4.2, which no longer exists.

SECTION 11 - Evaluation of Chan2e The reference section had been removed from the Environmental Technical Specifications in Amendment 90 to the Unit 2 Operating License. However, this reference and discussion to the deleted section was inadvertently overlooked.

This change is considered administrative since there is no change in the function, operation or physical configuration of the plant.

SECTION III - No Sihnificant Hazards Evaluation The proposed changre does not involve a significant hazards consideration because:

1) Does the proposed -license amendment involve a significant increase-in the probability or in the consequences of an accident previously evaluaied?

No. The proposed change is administrative inniature. The change involves deleting, in Section 5.4. 1, the reference to and the discussions about Section 4.2, which no longer exists. The monitoring requirements specified in the current Environmental Technical Specifications remain unchanged. Therefore, the proposed changes would not involve a significant increase in the probability or in the consequences-of-an accident previously evaluated.

2) Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

No. The proposed changes are administrative in nature. The safety analysis of the facility remains complete and accurate. There are no physical changes to the facility and the plant conditions for which the design basis accidents have been evaluated are still valid. The operating procedures and emergency procedures are unaffected.

Consequently no new failure modes are introduced as a result of the proposed change.

Therefore, the proposed changes would not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

3) Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?

No. The proposed changes are administrative in nature. Since there. are no changes to the operation of the facility or the physical design, the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report

,(UFSAR) design basis, accident assumptions, or Technical Specification Bases are not affected. Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

SECTION IN'- Impact Of Changes This changre will not adversely impact the following:

ALARA Program Security and Fire Protection Programs Emergency Plan IJFSAR or SER Conclusions Overall Plant Operations and the Environment The change involve deleting, in Section 5.4.1, the reference to and the discussions about Section 4.2, which no longer exists. This level of detail is not listed or implied in the UFSAR.

Therefore, there is no UESAR impact. There are no new failure modes introduced by this change. There are no physical changes to the facility and the plant conditions for which the design basis accidents have been evaluated are still valid. The operating procedures and

-emergency procedures are unaffected.

SECTION V - Conclusion Therefore, the proposed change to the Environmental Techai-cl Specifications does not involve a significant hazards consideration. In addition, the proposed change to the Environmental Technical Specifications has been reviewed by both tfte Station Nuclear Safety Committee (SNSC) and the Con Edison Nuclear Facility Safety Committee (NFSC). Both Committees concur that the proposed changes do not represent a significant hazards consideration.
