t UNITEDSTATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO.

69 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-63 NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION NINE MILF POINT NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NO.

1 DOCKET NO. 50-220 1.0 Introduction By application dated August 7, 1984, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (the licensee) requested an amendment to Appendix A of Operating License No.

DPR-63 for Nine Mile Point Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1.

The amendment request involves the scope of the Safety Review and Audit Board (SRAB) audits of actions taken to correct deficiencies at the plant.

in the required scope of review by SRAB or results of actions taken to correct deficiencies in facility equipment or methods of operation.

In particular, the word "all" is being deleted as a modifier to "actions" in section 6.5.3.8(c).

The change proposed by the licensee is identical in scope to that found in the Administrative Controls section of BWR Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-0123, Rev. 3, endorsed by Chapter 16, (NUREG-0800) of the Standard Review Plan.

Further, the removal of the requirement to audit all actions is consistent with the intent of auditing these activities by SRAB.

Licensee review and subsequent reporting of significant deficiencies and description of corrective actions are required by 10 CFR, paragraphs 50.72 and 50.73.

Therefore, we find the proposed change acceptable.

3.0 Environmental Considerations This amendment relates to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements.

Accordingly, this 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 this amendment.

, 4.0 Conclusion We have 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, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with th' Commission's regulations, and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health

'and safety of the public.
