i Introduction By Ictter dated January 15, 1975, Duke Power Company (the licensee) requested a change in the Technical Specifications of Licenses No. DPR-38, DPR-47, and DPR-55 for the Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2, and 3.
The proposed amenduents would. modify the station reporting requirements and delete the definition of an abnormal occurrence.
Discussion The proposed changeswould be administrative in nature and are intended to provide uniform license requirements.
In Section 208 of.the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974 " abnormal occurrences" is defined as an unscheduled incident or event which the Commission det' ermines is significant from the standpoint of public health and safety.
The term " abnormal occurrence" is reserved for usage by NRC.
Regulatory Guide 1.16, " Reporting of Operating Information Appendix A Technical Specifications", Revision 4, enumerates required reports consistent with Section 208.
The proposed change to required reports identifies the reports required of all licensees not already identified by the regulations and those unique to this facility.
The proposal would formalize present reporting and would delete any reports no longer needed for assessment of safety related activities.
Evaluation The new guidance for reporting operating information does not identify any event as an " abnormal occurrence " nThe proposed-reporting requirements also delete reporting of information no longer required and duplication of reported information.
The standardization of required reports and desired format for the information will permit mara rapid recognition of potential problems.

. n 2-During our review of the proposed changes, we found that certain modi-fications to the proposal were necessary to have conformance with the desired regulatory position.
These changes were discussed with the licensee and have been incorporated into the proposal.
We have concluded that the proposal as modified improves the licensce's program for evaluating plant performance and the reporting of the operating information needed by the Commission to assess safety related activities and is acceptabic.
The modified reporting program is consistent with the guidance provided by Regulatory Guide 1.16, " Reporting of Operating Information - Appendix A Technical Specifications",
Revision 4.
Conclusion We have concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
i (1) because the cl.ange does not involve a significant increase in the em probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and does not involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, the change does not involve a significant hazards consideration, (2) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the iccuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
