Evaluation ,

The title of Supervisor Operations in Technical Specification Section 6.2.2.g is being changed to Assistant Manager Operations. This title change ' is administrative in nature and does not represent any change in reporting.

relationships, job responsibilities, or overall organizational commitments, i

Regulation 10 CFR 50.54 (1) states: I "The licensee shall designate individuals to be  ;

responsible' for directing the licensed activities of licensed operators. These individuals shall be licensed as senior operators pursuant to part 55 of this chapter."

I This regulation implies that the Shift Supervisors are required to report to )

an individual licensed as a senior reactor operator (SRO). At WCNOC, the l Shift Supervisors report to the Supervisor Operations who holds a SRO license.

The Shift Supervisors will continue to report to the Assistant Manager  :

Operations.

Based on the above discussions and the consicerations presented in Attachment  !

II, the proposed change.does not increase the probability of occurrence or the j consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety-previously evaluated in the safety analysis report; or create a posp%11ty for an - accident or malfunction of a different type tat - arj .previously evaluated in the safety analysis report; or reduce the.. margin of safety as defined in the basis for any technical specification. Therefore, the' proposed  ;

change does not adversely . af fect i or endanger the health or safety of the' l general public or involve a significant safety hazard.

The proposed change would revise Technical specification section 6.2.2.g to 1 reflect a title designation change in the Walt Creek Nuclear operating'  !~

Corporation (WCNOC) organization.

Standard I - Involves a Significant Increase' in the Probability or Consequences of an Accident Previously Evaluated The proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. This change-involves an administrative change to the WCNOC organization and to the position title and i as such has no effect on plant equipment or the technical qualification of '

plant personnel.

standard II -

Create the Possibility of a New or Different Kind of Accident from any Previously Evaluated The proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. This. change is administrative in nature and does not involve any change to the installed plant systems or the overall operating philosophy of Wolf ' Creek Generating i Station.

Standard III - Involve a Significant Reduction in the Margin.of Safety.

The proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. This change does not involve any changes in overall organizational commitments. A position title change alone does not reduce any margin of safety.

Based on the above discussions it has been determined that the requested I technical specification revision does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident or other adverse condition.over previous evaluations; or create the possibility. of a new or dif ferent kind of accident or condition over previous evaluation; .or involve- a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The requested license amendment' does not' involve a significant hazards consideration. ..?

s Attachment III to NA 94-0063 Page 2 of 2 Environmental Impact Determination 10 CFR 51.22(b) specifies the criteria for categorical exclusions from the requirements for a specific environmental assessment per 10 CFR 51.21. This amendment request meets the criteria specified in 10 CFR Sl.22 (c) (9) . The -i specific criteria contained in this section are discussed below. 3 i

(i) the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration As demonstrated in the No Significant Hazards consideration Determination in-Attachment II, the requested license- amendment does not. involve any significant. hazards consideration.

(ii) there is no significant change in the types or significant increase . in the amounta of any effluents that may be released offsite The requested license amendment involve no change to the facility and does not involve any change in the manner of operation of any plant systems involving the generation, collection or processing of radioactive materials or other types of effluents. Therefore, no increase in the amounts of effluents or new types of effluents would be created.

(iii) there is no significant increase in. individual or cumulative )

occupational radiation exposure The requested license amendment involves .no change to the facility and does f not involve any change in the manner of operation of any plant- systems. t involving the generation, collection or processing of radioactive materials or other types of effluents. Furthermore, implementation of this proposed change will not involve work activities which could contribute to occupational radiation exposure. Therefore, there will be no- . increase in individual or '

cumulative occupational radiation exposure associated with this proposed.
