Dear Mr. Groce:
The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 53 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-36 for the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station.
This amendment consists of changes to the Technical Specifications and the Operating License in response to your applications dated June 4, 1977, September 13, 1979 and October 16, 1979 as follows:
1.
Revises the Operating License No. DPR-36 by adding a requirement for secondary water cheinistry monitoring to inhibit steam generator tube degradation.
This license modification is in response to our request and guidance contained in our letter dated July 23, 1979.
We find that the proposed license modification is in accordance with our guidance and is, therefore, acceptable.
2.
Revises the Technical Specification to increase steam generator tube leakage from 0.1 gpm to 1.0 gpm.to conform with industry standards. We find that this change is in accordance with our guidance contained in NUREG-0212 Revision 2, Fall 1980 and is, therefore, acceptable.
3.
Revises the Technical Specification to ensure operation of the Overpressure Mitigating System (OMS). We find that this change is in accordance with our request and guidance contained in our letter dated September 11, 1979 and is, therefore, acceptable.
We have evaluated the potential for environmental impact of plant operation in accordance with the enclosed amendment and have determined that the amendment does not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level, and will not result in any significant environ-mental impact.
Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendment involves an action which is insignificant from the stand-point of environmental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR 651.5(d)(4) that an environmental impact statement, negative declaration or environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the' issuance of this amendment.

5'ince the amendment' applies only to the NRC requested additions conmarning OMS, Secondary Water Chemistry Monitoring and allows current NUREG standards for steam generator tube leakage, 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. We have also concluded that there is a reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by this action..
A copy of the Notice of Issuance is also enclosed.
