?
SEABROOK STATION. UNIT NO. I DOCKET NO. 50-443 ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT i
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) is considering j
issuance of an amendment to the Facility Operating License No. NPF-86 issued l
to North Atlantic Energy Service Corporation (North Atlantic, the licensee) l for operation of the Seabrook Station, Unit No.1, located in Rockingham County, New Hampshire.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Identification of the Proposed Action:
The proposed amendment would change the footnote on page 1 of facility Operating License NPF-86 to reflect that EUA Power Corporation has changed its name to Great Bay Power Corporation.
EUA Power Corporation.has been under the l
protection of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code since February 28, 1991. Great Bay Power Corporation is'the reorganized I
entity that emerges from bankruptcy pursuant to the Plan for Reorganization
- j which has been confirmed by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Hampshire.
a The Need for the Proposed Action:
j The amendment is a condition of a requirement for the Bankruptcy Court's Plan for. Reorganization of EUA Power Corporation-to become effective.
Changing EUA Power Corporation's name will not affect the operation of the facility or the facility's Technical Specifications.

r t Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action:
The Commission has completed its evaluation of the proposed change to the i
license. The proposed revision would allow EUA Power Corporation to change its name to Great Bay Power Corporation. There will be no changes to the operation and maintenance staff, or to the facility or the environment as a result of the license amendment. No changes are being made to the types or amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, and there is no increase in the allowable individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the Commission concludes that this proposed action would result in no significant radiological or non-radiological environmental impact.
Alternative to the Proposed Action:
As an alternative to the proposed action, the NRC staff considered denial of the proposed action.
Deniallof the application would result in no change in current environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of the proposed action and the alternative action are similar.
Alternative Use of Resources:
This action does not involve the use of any resources not previously considered in the Final Environmental Statement for Seabrook Station.
Aaencies and Persons Consulted:
I The NRC staff consulted with the State of New Hampshire and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts regarding the environmental impact of the.
t proposed action.
q E
. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT Based upon the foregoing ~ environmental assessment, the Commission concludes that the. proposed action will not have a significant effect'on the quality of the human environment. Accordingly, the Commission has determined-not to prepare an environmental impact statement for the proposed license-amendment.
The Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating License and Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Opportunity for Hearing in connection with this action was published in the Federal Register on June 23, 1993 (58 FR 34083).
