Amendment No. 269
UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 293 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-53 AND AMENDMENT NO. 269 TO RENEWED FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-69 CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. INC.
CALVERT CLIFFS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT. UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-317 AND 50-318
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated May 21, 2009, (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML091470216), Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Inc. (the licensee) submitted an application for amendment regarding Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant (CCNPP)
Technical Specifications (TSs), Table of Contents. The proposed amendment would delete the Table of Contents from the TSs and relocate it to a licensee-controlled document. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff's review of the licensee' application is set forth below.
2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION
The NRC's regulatory requirements related to the content of the TSs are contained in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50.36. 10 CFR 50.36 requires that the TSs include items in the following categories: (1) safety limits, limiting safety systems settings, and limiting control settings; (2) limiting conditions for operation; (3) surveillance requirements; (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls. Administrative controls are the provisions relating to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner. The TS Table of Contents is not relied upon to assure safe operation of the facility. The Table of Contents, which contains only administrative information, is not required to be in the TSs per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.36.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION
The Table of Contents is a list which provides information as to where (i.e., page number) specific TS sections can be found. The Table of Contents does not contain any technical information required by 10 CFR 50.36. On such basis, inclusion of a Table of Contents as part of the TSs is optional, and is not required by the regulation cited above. Therefore, removal of the Table of Contents from the TSs constitutes a purely administrative change, and is acceptable to the NRC staff.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Maryland State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.
5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendment changes an administrative requirement. Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22( c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
6.0 CONCLUSION
The NRC staff has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
