p f W A S m N G T O N, D.C. 255-Mm SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO, 142 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-36 f
MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER STATION DOCKET N0, 50-309
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated May 12, 1993, the Maine Atomic Power Company (the licensee) submitted a request for a change to the Maine Yankee Atomic Power Station Technical Specifications (TS).
The requested change would delete the l
surveillance requirements for environmental monitors from the TS. A previous amendment relocated the surveillance requirements for the environmental monitors to the offsite dose calculation manual (0DCM), but through an administrative error, the surveillance requirement was not deleted from TS Table 4.1-3, " Minimum Frequencies for Checks, Calibrations and Testing of Miscellaneous Instrumentation and Controls."
2.0 EVALUATION This is an administrative change to the TS. A previous amendment (Amendment 4
No.125, dated December 4,1991), relocated the radiological environmental monitoring program (REMP) to the ODCM.
The surveillance requirements for the air samplers were inadvertently left in the TS when the REMP was relocated to the ODCM.
Requirements for continuous sampling--and at least weekly analysis of airborne radiciodine and particulates--are found in Table 2.3 (page 53) of the licensee's ODCM.
Because the surveillance requirements for the air samplers have moved to the i
ODCM under the aegis of a previous amendment, their continued presence in the TS is redundant and unnecessary.
This amendment constitutes an administrative change to correct a minor error of having the same surveillance requirements
~
in two separate documents, and is therefore acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the appropriate Maine State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment. The State official had no comments.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
This amendment changes recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements.
Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10)(ii).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
5.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission 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, (2) such l
activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
