By letter dated May 14,

1993, as supplemented June 30,
1993, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (the licensee) submitted a request for changes to the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit No.

1, Technical Specificatiogs (TSs).

The requested changes would revise the Appendix A TSs to make the following editorial changes:

correct obvious typographical errors, add temperature degree signs ('), add commas and periods for clarity, provide consistent page headings/titles, adjust line spacing (repagination),

remove intentionally blank pages, renumber

pages, remove outdated footnotes, and add the delta symbol in place of the word delta.

In addition, the proposed amendment would.

delete pertinent portions of the TSs that related to one-time only date extensions which have since expired, correct references to revised regulations, delete an outdated last paragraph in Bases Sections 3.3.7 and 4.3.7, add clarifying headings of "Shutdown," "Refuel," "Startup,"

and "Run" to TS Tables 3.6.2f and 3.6.2h, and delete footnotes and table notations referring to the completed Hydrogen Water Chemistry feasibility test.

The June 30, 1993, letter provided replacement TS pages to correct minor typographical errors noted during NRC staff review of the May 14,

1993, submittal.

These corrections did not change the initial proposed no significant hazards consideration determination.

2.0 The licensee has proposed changes to the TSs that would result in the reissuance of all TS pages.

The proposed changes are limited to editorial changes (e.g., correction of obvious typographical errors, addition of temperature degree signs

( ), addition of commas and periods for clarifications, repagination, removal of outdated material, addition of clarifying headings, in tables, update of references to requirements for inservice inspection and testing requirements, etc.).

The NRC staff has reviewed the proposed changes and has determined that they are purely administrative changes and do not involve any substantive changes to requirements.

Therefore, the proposed changes are acceptable.

3.0 STA E

C NSULTATION In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the New York State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment.

The State official had no comments.

4.0 EN IRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.

The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (58 FR 32385).

Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

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.

5. 0 CONCLUSION The Commission 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.
