ENCLOSURE 2 DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN)
REASO FOR CHA GE BFN Units 1, 2 and 3 Technical Specification, Section 6.0, "Administrative Controls" is being amended to administratively align with the current titles of the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) membership.
Existin TS a e reads 6.5.1.2 The PORC shall be composed of the:
- a. Chairman: Plant Manager Alternate Chairman: Assistant to Plant Manager Alternate Chairman or Member: Technical Services Superintendent Member: Unit Superintendents (3)

PORC exists to advise the Plant Manager of all matters related to nuclear safety. PORC performs its mission of independent review and audit of unit operations utilizing a standing committee of individuals from all functional areas. This change reflects the current titles of the PORC members. Two additional changes to Section 6.0 are provided for consistency. The titles mentioned are no longer used.

ENCLOSURE 3 DETERMINATION OF NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT (BFN)
UNITS 1, 2 AND 3 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED TS A DME The proposed amendment changes the composition of PORC to reflect the current PORC member titles.
BASIS FOR PRO OS D 0 S G F CA HAZ R S CO SIDERATIO DETERMINATIO NRC has provided standards for; determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists as stated in 10 CFR 59.92(c). A proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards considerations if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind if accident from an accident previously evaluated, or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
The proposed technical specification changes to BFN Section 6 PORC members do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequence of any accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes are administrative in nature and do not involve any modifications to safety-related equipment currently installed in the plant. The subject changes do not prevent or alter the operation of any equipment required to mitigate any accident for which BFN is licensed. These changes do not involve any physical modification to the design or operation of the plant, therefore, they do not invalidate the assumptions made in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) or safety limits currently identified in the TSs. For these reasons, the proposed changes do not affect the probability or consequences of any accident previously analyzed.
2 ~ The proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
The proposed changes are purely administrative in nature and do not
=.. -,modify. or. alter, the.. configuration .of the plant. These. changes .do .not,.
create any new accident mode or release pathway of radioactive effluents to the environment.
3~ The proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The proposed changes do not remove or diminish any elements of the nuclear organization or practices that are essential to the safe operation of BFN. They do not involve any changes to plant operating systems or associated safety analyses. The changes enhance the overall clarity in BFN Section 6.
DETERMINATIO OF BASIS FOR PROPOSED 0 SIG IFICA HAZARDS Since the application for amendment involves a proposed change that is not encompassed by the criteria for which no significant hazards consideration exists, TVA has made a proposed determination that the application involves no significant hazards consideration.
