SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT N0. 39 TO FACILITY OPEPATING LICENSE N0. NPF-2 AND AMENDMfNT N0. 29 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-8 ALABAMA POWER COMPANY JOSEPH M. FARLEY NUCLEAR PLANT, UNIT NOS. 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-348 AND 50-364 INTRODUCTION By letter dated October 25, 1982, Alabama Power Company (licensee) proposed changes to Section 6, Administrative Controls, of the Technical Specifications for the Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2.
The purpose of the proposed change is to revise the administrative controls associated with the audit frequency of th facility emergency preparedness program to ensure conformance with the Code of Federal Regulations.
DISCUSSION AND EVALUATION Section 50.54(t) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations requires that each nuclear powar licensee provide for an independent review of its emergency preparedness program at least once every 12 months. The existing Joseph M. Farley Technical Specifications, in conformance with the NRC Standard Technical Specifications, require an audit of the facility emergency prepareness program every 24 months.
In recognition of this inconsistency, the Commission issued Generic Letter 82-17, dated October 1, 1982, requesting licensees with this condition to submit a request for a Technical Specification change which would ensure compliance with 10 CFR 50.54(t).
Alabama Power Company has revised the audit frequency of the l
Facility Emergency Program to a least once per 12 months in proposed l
Specification 6.5.2.8(e).
We have reviewed the proposed change and have l
determined that it is in conformance with 10 CFR 50.5a(t).
SAFETY
SUMMARY
Based on the above evaluation, the Facility Emergency Program audit frequency proposed in Specification 6.5.2.8(e) conforms with the requirements of the Code of Federal Regulations and is therefore acceptable.
ENVRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION i
We have determined that the two amendments do not authorize changes in effluent types or total amounts, nor increases in power levels, and will not result ir 8401190460 840106 PDR ADOCK 05000348 P

h-any significant environmental impact. Having made this determination, we have further concluded that the amendments. involve actions which are insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.5(d)(4),
that an environmental impact statement or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of these anendments.
CONCLUSION We have concluded, based on the' consideration _ 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, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
