UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, O.C. 20555 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. 108TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-14 AMENDMENT NO. 77 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO.

NPF-22 PENNSYLVANIA POWER 5 LIGHT COMPANY ALLEGHENY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE INC.

SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION UNITS 1

AND 2 DOCKET NOS.

50-387 AND 388

1.0 INTRODUCTION

By letter dated February 7, 1991, the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company (PP&L) and Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc. (the licensees) submitted a

request for changes to the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Unit 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TS).

The requested changes would change the Technical Specifications (TSs) to,revise the composition of the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) and to make a minor editorial change to the Unit 2 TSs to remove a reference to a figure previously deleted.

Specifically, the proposed changes to the TSs are as follows:

Remove the positions of Assistant Superintendent-Susquehanna and Health Physics/Chemistry Supervisory from the listing of members of the PORC in Section 6.5.1.2.

Add the positions of Health Physics Supervisor and Chemistry Supervisor to the listing of members to the PORC in Section 6.5.1.2.

Remove the reference to Figure 6.2.2-1 in Section 6.2.2 of the Unit 2 Technical Specification.

This is an editorial change which poses no impact on safe operation of the Units.

2. 0 EVALUATION The proposed changes to the composition of the PORC reflect organizational changes within the PPSL Nuclear Department.

The proposed changes maintain a

membership having a combination of education, training, experience and skills commensurate.with their functional level of responsibility, thereby providing reasonable assurance that their decisions and actions will be such that the plant is operated in a safe and efficient manner.

The position of Assistant Superintendent-Susquehanna was not staffed by an individual requiring specific expertise that could not be provided by the other PORC members.

Having separate PORC members for Health Physics and Chemistry will increase 9106030i i7 9i05i6 PDR ADDCK 05000387 P

~ the consideration of radiation protection and corrosion control in PORC deliberations.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not diminish the PORC's ability to perform its functions and are administrative in nature and as such pose no impact on the safe operation of Susquehanna SES.

The proposed changes to the TSs are acceptable.

3.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Pennsylvania State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments.

The State official had no comments.

4. 0 ENVIRONNENTAL CONSIDERATION The amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, or administrative procedures or requirements.

Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 61.22(c)(10).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),

no environmental impact statement nor environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.

5.0 CONCLUSION

The Comoission 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 amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and 'safety of 'the public.
