DETERtiluATION AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Cornission (the Cemnission) is considering issuance of an amendmant to Facility Operating License No. OPR-67, issued to Florida Peuer and Light Company (the licensee), for operation of the St. Lucie Plant, Unit flo. I located in St. Lucie County, Florida.
The anendsent would permit operation after approval of changes to the Technical Specifications resulting fron the addition of fire protection conip*ent and reporting reouircoents. These changes are the result of the staf f's fire protection safety evaluation report dated August 17, 1979. The chances called for resulted in the:
(I) addition of fire protection detectors and an additional fire hose station as reflected in changes to Tables 3.3-10 and 3.7-3, respectively, of the technical specifications; (2) two revisions to the technical specifications to reflect the incorporation of spriniler systems and yard hydrants and to provide for supplemental protection and reportina requirenents if bose stations are cut of service; and (3) new specifications dealing with yard fire hydranis end hydrant hose houses and spray and/or sprinkler systems. The changes are nade in accordance with the licensee's application for em.cndment dated December 22,19E2.
refore issuance of the proposed license amendnent, the Contission will have rade findings reouired t'y the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as arend?d (the omer >...tc.t)...e.d..tl e..E.c=ni.s.s.lon.' s..rf.cu.la.ticz..............

.- 2 The Connission has made a proposed determination that the amendcent request involves 'no significant bazards consideration. Under the Consisson's regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, this means that 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 possiblity of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a nargin of safety.
The Coanission has provided guidance concerning the application of these standards by providing certain exampics (48 FR 14870). One of the examples of actions involving no significant hazards considerations (ii) relates to changes that constitute additional restrictions or controls not presently included in the technical specifications. The changes now under consideration resulted from the staff's fire protection safety evaluation report that called for more restrictions and controls relative to reporting requirements and additional detectors and an additional Fose station. The staff proposes to determine that the application does not involve a significant hazard since the nodifica-l tiens to the fire protection system enhance the ability of the licensee to i
detect, control and/or extinguish fires at St. Lucie 1.
In addition, the technical specifications must be revised to reflect the added fire protection equipment and the associated reporting requirenents.
The Commission is seeking public connents on this proposed determination.
(
Any comments received within 30 days af ter the date of publication of this notice i
j will be considered in making any final determination. The Coenission will not normally make a final determination unless it receives a request for a hearing.
f Corrents should be addressed to the Secretary of the Comission, U.S.
