1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated March 24, 1994, the Philadelphia Electric Company (the licensee) submitted a request for changes to the Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Units 1 and 2, Technical Specifications (TS). The requested changes would revise TS Sections 3.11.1.4, 6.9.1.8, and 6.14.1, and TS Definition 1.24 to change the frequency for submitting the Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Report to the NRC from Semiannually to annually.
2.0 EVALUATION Currently, the TS for LGS require that the Radioactive Effluent Release Report
{
be submitted for staff review every 6 months. On August 19, 1992, the NRC issued the Final Rule, " Reducing the Regulatory Burden on Nuclear Licensees,"
published in the Federal Reaister on August 31, 1992, which revised 10 CFR 50.36a to require that each licensee submit to the Commission a report specifying the quantity of each of the principal radionuclides released to unrestricted areas during the previous 12 months.
The staff concluded that the TS changes are consistent with 10 CFR 50.36a.
Therefore, the staff finds the changes acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Pennsylvania State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments.
The State official had no comments.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

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.
