1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated October 9,1989, Toledo Edison Company (TE, the licensee) proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) Appendix A to Facility Operating Licnese No. NPF-3. The proposed changes would relax the current qualifications requirement that the Manager - Plant Operations must hold a-
-SeniorReactorOperator's(SRO)licenseforDavis-Besse. The requirement would be changed to permit the current or previous holding of an SR0 license for a pressurized water reactor to serve as an acceptable qualification for the Manager-Plant Operations. There is an intermediate line manager, the Operations Superintendent, who is required to hold an SR0 license for Davis-Besse and whose responsibilities include supervising the operating shift supervisors.
The changes also include a title change in the Station Review Board composition to' reflect the current title for the position of Manager-Plant Operations.
The proposed change to TS 6.2.2.g was rephrased for clarity. The rewording does not change the meaning or intent of the licensee's proposed change. The licensee concurs with the rephrasing of TS 6.2.2.g.
2.0 DISCUSSION The licensee's proposed changes would modify TS Sections 6.2.2.g and 6.3 to change the current requirement that the Manager-Plant Operations hold an SR0 license. The revision would state that the Manager-Plant Operations "shall either hold or have held a senior reactor operator's license on a pressurized water reactor." The Manager-Plant Operations has responsibility for plant operations, chemistry, operations engineering and shif t manager sections and when necessary, substitutes for the flant Manager. However, the Manager-Plant Operations does not directly supervise the reactor operators. Direct supervision of the reactor operators is the responsibility of Shift Supervisors, who are required to hold an SRO license for Davis-Besse, and who, in turn, ace supervised by the Operations Superintendent who is also required to hold an SRO license for Davis-Besse.

TS 6.5.1.2, Station Review Board composition, " Assistant Plant Manager, Operatio'is".would be revised to " Manager-Plant Operations" to reflect the
-current title.
3.0 EVALUATION The staff tinds that the requested change provides an adequate level of qual-ification for tY position provided that the shif t personnel report directly to a management position that holds a Senior Reactor Operators license.
In this case, there is an in-line position of Operations Superintendent between the operating shifts and the Manager-Plant Operations. The Operations Superintendent is required by TS 6.2.2.g to hold an SRO license and has direct responsibility 1
for the operating shifts. This meets the regulations and guidance in the Standard Review Plan, Sections 13.1.2 and 13.1.3, " Plant Operations." The requested change for TS 6.5.1.2 is purely administrative. Therefore, the NRC staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.
4.0 QVIRONMENTALCONS10 ERAT 10g This amendment relates to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categ)orical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).
Pursuant 1
to 10 CFR 51.22(b no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
5.0 CONCLUSION
The staff 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 regula+ ions, and the issuance of this anendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
