UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION FLORIDA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-335 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR PRIOR HEARING The U.
S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No.
DPR-67 for operation of the St.
Lucie Plant, Unit No. 1, located in St.
Lucie County, Florida.
I The proposed amendment would increase the steam generator tube plugging limit from 40K of the nominal tube wall thickness to 54K for all regions except for locations at or above the top partial support plate for tube rows 117 through 120, inclusive, where the limit would be 50K.
The tube plugging limit is defined as the imperfection depth at or beyond which the tube shall be removed from service because it may become unservicable prior to the next inspection.
The primary method of removing a tube from service is to plug it such that reactor coolant system water cannot flow through it.
The proposed amendment was submitted to the Commission by Florida Power and Light Company letter dated December 12, 1986.
Prior to issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Commission will have made findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's regulations.

Request for a hearing and petitions for leave to intervene shall be filed in accordance with the Commission's "Rules of Practice for Domestic Licensing Proceedings" in 10 CFR Part 2. If a request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene is filed by the above date, the Commission or an Atomic Safety and Licensing Board, designated by the Commission or by the Chairman of thei Atomic Safety and Licensing Board Panel will rule on the request and/or petition, and the Secretary or the designated Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will issue a notice of hearing or an appropriate order.

The petition should specifically explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with particular reference to the following factors:
(1) the nature of the petitioner's right under the Act to be made a party to the proceeding; (2) the nature and extent of the petitioner's property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (3) the possible effect of any order which may be entered in the proceeding on the petitioner's interest.
The petition should also identify the specific aspect(s) of the subject matter of the proceeding as to which petitioner wishes to intervene.
Any person who has filed a petition for leave to intervene or who has been admitted as a party may amend the petition
without requesting leave of the Board up to 15 days prior to the first prehearing conference scheduled in the proceeding, but such an amended petition must satisfy the specificity requirements described above.
