N NT The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering issuance of an exemption from certain requirements of its regulations to Florida Power and Light Company (the licensee), holder of Facility Operating Licenses Nos. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for operation of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, respectively.

nifi ai Pr s
The proposed action is in accordance with the licensee's application dated December 12, 1996, for exemption from certain requirements of Appendix R, "Fire Protection Program for Nuclear Power Facilities Operating Prior to January 1, 1979," for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.
Specifically, the licensee requests an exemption from the requirements of Appendix R, Subsection III.G.2.a, for raceway fire barriers in outdoor fire zones, excluding the Open Turbine Building.
Th N df Pr The Thermo-Lag fire barriers installed at Turkey Point Units 3 and 4 were found to have a rating of 25-minutes, which does not meet the requirements specified in Subsection III.G.2.a. The proposed exemptions are needed because compliance

with the regulation would result in significant additional costs.
Envir The Commission has completed its evaluation of the proposed action and concludes that the proposed action involves features located entirely withinthe restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
The proposed action willnot result in an increase in the probability or consequences of accidents or result in a change in occupational or offsite dose.
Therefore, there are no radiological impacts associated with the proposed action.
The proposed action will not result in a change in nonradiological plant effluents and will have no other nonradiological environmental impact.
Accordingly, the Commission concludes that there are no environmental impacts associated with this action.
As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff considered denial of the proposed action.
Denial of the application would result in no change in current environmental impacts.
The environmental impacts of the prbposed action and the alternative action are similar.
I r
v This action did not involve the use of any resources not previously considered in the Final Environmental Statements related to operation of Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, dated July 1972.

In accordance with its stated policy, on February 11, 1998 the NRC staff consulted with the Florida State official, Mr. William Passetti of the State Office of Radiation Control,
regarding the environmental impact of the proposed action.
The State official had no comments.

Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission concludes that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.
Accordingly, the Commission has determined not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed action.
For further details with respect to the proposed action, see the licensee's letter dated December 12, 1996, as supplemented on July 31 and October 31, 1997, which are available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, The Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public document room located at the Florida International University, University Park, Miami, Florida 33199.
