Docket No. 50-244 FEB 10 1981 Hr. John E. Maier Vice President - Electric 8 Steam Production Rochester Gas 8 Electric Corporation 89 East Avenue Rochester, New York 14649
Dear Hr. Maier:
F'Eg 18 1981' g~ gggAATCC%
gggNI5508 The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment ~No.
~ 5 to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-18 for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant, Unit No. l.
The amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications in response to your application notarized October 30, 1980 (submitted by letter dated November 4, 1980).
As discussed in a telephone conversation with your staff on December 23.
1980, reference to the Shift Technical Advisor has been deleted from the October 30, 1980 request.
lie mutually agreed upon this change.
The addition of the Shift Technical Advisors (STAs) to the or ganiza-tional chart resulted from your request notarized April 9, 1980 (submitted by letter dated April ll, 1980).
This request was subsequently superseded in part by your application and letter of October 30, 1980 and November 4, 1980, respectively, and in part by another request notarized November 5, 1980 (submitted by letter dated November 13, 1980).
This la,tter request deals with Three Mile Island Lessons Learned implementation items and includes changes to the organizational technical specifications related to the inclu-sion of the STAs.
Although supersession of the April 9/April 11, 1980 submittal would ostensibly delete necessary changes to Figure 6.2-1 of the Ginna Technical Specifications to include the STA in the orga-nization chart, we will review this addition as part of the November 5/
November 13, 1980 submittal.
Please inform us if"you are not satisfied with this approach or if further changes are necessary.
The letter of October 30/November 4, 1980, upon which this amendment is based, revised certain provisions in Section 6 of Ginna Technical Specifications Appendix A to reflect changes in the corporate organizational structure.
Specifically, the RE. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant management organization chart (Figure 6.2-1) has been revised to reflect recent changes in the RG&E offsite organization.
Two new positions of Senior Vice President have been created, Senior Vice President - General Services and Senior Vice President-
~pigance and Rates;-
Reporting to the former is the General Manager-Purchasing and Public Affairs.
Reporting to the latter is the Vice

FEB 10 1S81 President - Rates.
The previous position of Chief Engineer has been changed to 'Vice President and Chief Engineer, reporting to the Executive Vice President who in turn reports to the President of Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation.
Me have reviewed the above proposed changes to the Technical Specifi-cations, reflecting the recent revisions of the management organization
- chart, and find these changes acceptable because they do not diminish the level of safety with respect to organization and technical resources provided by the existing Technical Specifications.
The organizational changes also meet the provisions of 18.7-1976/
ANS-3.2 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.33 and are, therefore, acceptable.
The amendment applies to the organizational structure and therefore, does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level, and will not result in any significant environmental impact.
Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR 551.5(d)(4) that an environmental impact statement, or negati-ve declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
Since the amendment applies to the organizational structure, it does not involve significant new safety information of a type not considered by a previous Commission safety review of the facility. It does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident, does not 'involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, and, therefore, does not involve a significant hazards consideration.
1<e have also concluded that there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public wil 1 not be endangered by this action and that the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the cordon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
A copy of the Notice of Issuance is also enclosed.
