LChandler, ELD h Nuclear Regulatory)Comission has issued an exemption to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.71(e to License No. DPR-73 This exemption deletes the requirements to periodically updata the TMI-2 final safety analysis report
'(FSAR) to reflect facility changes made during the cleanup of TMI-2 and is in response to your request of May 6,1981 (LL2-81-0114). We have concluded that your propon1 to use Technical Evaluation Reports (TERs) for documenting these changes and associated safety evaluations is an acceptable alternative to n;, dating the FSAR,provided the TERs are kept updated. Therefore, as a condition of this exemption, we will require that at least once per six months, you review and update, if necessary, the TERs which have been in ued.
We hwe determined that the grantiag of this exemption involves an action whien is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and that there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the puolic will not be endangered by this ' action. Having made this detennination, we havo further concluded that pursuant to 10 CFR 151.5 (d) (4) an environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the granting of this exemption.
