o 7590-01 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION DOCKET NO. 50-364 ALABAMA POWER COMPANY NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Commission) has issued Amendment No. 15 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-8 issued to Alabama Power Company (the licensee), which revised Technical Specifications for operation of the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Unit No. 2 (the facility) located in Houston County, Alabama. The amendment was effective on April 28,1982 for one-time only.

The amendment modifies the Technical Specifications for one time to extend a six hour time limit to nine hours to allow time to complete repairs and retests of the rod control system. The amendment was authorized on an expedited basis to maintain the plant at steady condition and avoid a shutdown transient shown by our evaluation to be unnecessary but required by the Technical Specifications unless amended.

The request for the amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Consnission's rules and regulations. The Comission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment. Prior public notice of this amendment l
