A INTRODUCTION l
By application dated December 18, 1989, and supplemented on July 30, 1990, Houston Lighting & Power Company, et. al., (the licensee) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (Appendix A to Facility Operating License Nos.
~
NPF-76 and NPF-80) for the South Texas Project (STP), Units 1 and 2.
The l
proposed changes would revise the description of the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) and Nuclear-Safety Review Board (NSRB) compositions included in the plant's Technical Specifications _(TSs) 6.5.1.2 and 6.5.2.2.
i DISCUSSION TS 6.5.1.2 designates PORC composition by management title.
These titles are Plant Superintendent, Technical Services _ Manager, Plant Operations Manager, j
Plant Engineering Manager, Maintenance Manager and Quality Engineering Manager.
To avoid administrative TS changes for. future organization changes,.the licensee proposed replacing the titles with composition descriptions.
The function of 1
the PORC would remain the same.
i TS 6.5.2.2 requires.that the NSRB composition consist of managers by specific title. The specific titles include the General Manager, NSRB; General Manager, South Texas Project Management; Vice President, Nuclear Plant Operations 1 Ger.eral Manager, Nuclear Assurance; and General Manager, South Texas Project 0perations
-Support.
Several of the management titles listed are no longer in use at STP.
The licensee _ proposed the specific management titles be deleted and descriptions added to ensure that top level managers comprise the NSRB and that the managers collectively have the capability to review the necessary technical matters.

' EVALUATION Section 6.5.1.2 of the South Texas TSs designates the PORC composition by listing position titles.
HL&P proposes to change-this specification to state that the PORC shall be composed of "six members, who shall be appointed in writing by the Plant Manager from senior onsite individuals at the manager level or equivalent, representing each of the following disciplines:
engineering, operations, chemistry, health physics, quality assurance / quality control and maintenance.
The quality assurance / quality control representative shall not be appointed PORC chairman.
Additionally, the qualifications of the Radiation Protection Manager have been reworded to state "one of the members shall meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8 (Personnel Selection and Training - Revision 1-R), Radiation Protection Manager,"
Section 6.5.2.2 of the South Texas TSs designates the NSRB members by listing position titles.
HL&P proposes to change this specification to state that "the NSRB shall be composed of at least five members appointed in writing by the Group Vice President, Nuclear selected from senior managers reporting to at least the vice president level in the STPEGS Management Organization.
Additional members shall be appointed in writing by the Group Vice President, Nuclear so the NSRB collectively has the capability to review technical matters listed in Technical Specification 6.5.2.1.
The NSRB Chairman shall be appointed in writing from among these members by the Group Vice President, Nuclear. "
SUMMARY
The staf f finds these requested changes ecceptable as they retain the qualifi-cation level of PORC and NSRB members, and meet the acceptance criteria of Section 13.4 of NUREG-0800, " Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, LWR Edition."
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION These amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements.
Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these emendments.

3 CONCLUSION The staf f has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public-
-will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
The staff, therefore.
concludes that the proposed changes are acceptable.
