48 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.

NPF-22 PENNSYLVANIA POWER Pi LIGHT COMPANY ALLEGHENY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC.

DOCKET NO. 50-388 SUS UEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION, UNIT 2

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated April 8, 1988, Pennsylvania Power 8 Light Company !the licensee) requested an amendment to Facility Operating License No.

NPF-22 for the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Unit 2.

The proposed amendment would cancel the Technical Specification changes approved in Amendment No. 36.

That Amendment provided approval of Technical Specification changes to support operational control for the proposed new drywell cooling fans which the licensee had planned to install during the second refueling outage.

The April 8, 1988 letter indicated that the licensee no longer plans to install the new drywell cooling fans and would like the affected Technical Specification changes to be cancelled, and the requirements restored to as they existed prior to issuance of Amendment No. 36.

2. 0 EVALUATION The Technical Specification section 3.6.6.2 and Table 3.8.4. 1-1 are being revised to reflect the licensee's decision not to install new drywell cooling fans.

Since the Technical Specifications are being changed to reflect all the requirements which existed prior to June 5, 1987 approval of Amendment No. 36, they will continue to meet all the staff requirements which formed the prior basis of the Technical Specifications.

Therefore, the proposed changes are acceptable.

3. 0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This amendment involves a change to a requirement with respect to the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.

The 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 this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding.

Accordingly, this 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 nor environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
