ATTACHMENT C NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION LICENSE NO. DPR-63 LICENSE NO. NPF-69 DOCKET NO. 50-220 DOCKET NO. 50-410 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION ANALYSIS 10CFRl50.91 requires that at the time a licensee requests an amendment, it must provide to the Commission its analysis, using the standards in 10CFRs50.92, concerning the issue of no significant hazards consideration.

The proposed amendment to the Physical Security Plan involves a change in the armed response force size for Units 1 and 2. Nuclear Security's ability to meet the response requirements of 10CFR s73.55(h) will not be significantly affected as was determined utilizing NUREG-0907 while taking into consideration several Security Program enhancements implemented since 1986 when response force size was last reviewed.

The change does not affect the design, function, operation, maintenance or testing of structures, systems and components at Unit 1 or Unit 2. It does not af fect any safety analysis or any Technical Specification that preserves a safety analysis assumption. Therefore, the proposed amendment will neither increase the probability nor the consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

The operation of Nine Mile Point Units 1 and 2 in accordance with the proposed amendment will not create the nossibility of a new or different l<ind of accident from any acciden_Lpr9viousiv evaluated.

The proposed amendment to the Physical Security Plan involves a change in the size of the response force for Units 1 and 2. Design, function, operation, maintenance and testing of structures, systems and cornponents at Units 1 and l 2 are not affected. Also, as demonstrated using NUREG-0907, Nuclear ,

l Security will continue to meet the requirements of 10CFR s 73.55(h).

Therefore, the proposed amendment will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
