- t UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION' GRAND GULF UCLEAR STATION, UNIT 1 DOCKET NO. 50-416 NOTICE OF CONSIDERATION OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO.
FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND PROPOSED NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION AND OPP 0PTUNITY FOR REARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) is considering issuance of an amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-29, issued to System Energy Resources, Inc. (the licensee), for operation of Grand Gulf
~
Nuclear Station, Unit 1, located in Claiborne County, Mississippi.
The proposed amendment would extend the implementation date of Amendment No. 65, dated December 14, 1989, by 90 days. Amendment No. 65 approved the-l transfer of operations of Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1, to Entergy Operations, Inc.
Before issuance of the proposed license amendment, the Comission will
]
have made' findings required by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Comission's ' regulations.
The _Comission has made a proposed determination that the request for amendment involves no significant hazards consideration. Under the Comission's regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, this means that operation-of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would rct:
(1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any '
y 1
accident previously evaluated; o" (3) involve a significant reduction in n margin of safety.

The proposed amendment is to extend by 90 days the date for implementing
' license conditions which have been previously approved for transfer of operations to Entergy Operations, Inc, lh oreseen scheduling of other regulatory agency processes may delay the implementation date beyond the origin 1180 days (due to end on June 12,1990). The proposed amendment is an administrative change so as'not to impact another egency's requirements. As such, the proposed amendment does not involve any previously analyzed accident, does not create any new accidents, and does not involve any consideration of any change to a margin of safety.-
Therefore, based on the above considerations, the Comissior, has made a proposed determination that the amendment request involves no significant hazards consideration.
The Commission is seeking public comments on this proposed determination.:
L Any comments received within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice will be considered in making any final determination.
The Commission L
will not normally make a final determination unless it receives a request for a hearing.

4 Those permitted +o intervene become parties to the proceeding, subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene, and have the opportunity to-participate fully in the conduct of the hearing, including the E
opportunity to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.
If a hearing is requested, the Comission will make a final determination on the issue of no significant hazards considerations. The final determination will serve to decide when the hearing is held.
If the final determination is that the request for amendment involves no significant. hazards consideration, the Comission may issue the amendment and make it effective, notwithstanding the request for a hearing. Any hearing held would take place after issuance of the amendment.
It a final determination is that the amendment involves a significant l
hazards consideration, any hearing held would take place before the issuance of any amendment.
Normally, the Comission will not issue the amendment until the expiration of the 30-day notice period.
However, should circumstances change during the notice period such that failure to act in a timely way would result, for example, in derating or shutdown of the facility, the Comission may issue the license amendment before the expiration of the 30-day notice period, provided that its final determination is that the amendment involves no significant hazards considerations.
The final determination will consider all public and State comments received. Should the Comission take this action, it will publish a notice of issuance and provide for opportunity for a hearing after issuance.
The Commission expects that the need to take this action will occur very infrequently.
