w4swinorow o.c.sneewooi SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT N05.75-AND 64 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. NPF-76 AND NPF-80 HOUSTON LIGHTING & POWER COMPANY CITY PUBLIC SERVICE BOARD OF SAN ANTONIO CENTRAL POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS DOCKET NOS. 50-498 AND 50-499 SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT. UNITS 1 AND 2
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By application dated March 16, 1995, Houston Lighting & Power Company, et al., (the licensee) requested changes to the Technical Specifications (TSs)
(Appendix A to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-76 and NPF-80) for the i
South Texas Project, Units 1 and 2 (S1P).
The proposed changes would revise TS 4.6.1.2, regarding the test frequency requirements for the overall integrated containment leakage rate tests, so that it would reference 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J and approved exemptions, rather than paraphrase the regulation.
2.0 EVALUATION The proposed revision to TS 4.6.1.2 is administrative.
It simply deletes the paraphrased language and directly references Appendix J.
No new requirements are added, nor are any existing requirements deleted. Any future proposed changes to the overall integrated containment leakage rate test frequency requirements will still require a submittal from the licensee and subsequent review and approval by the NRC prior to implementation. This change will also provide clarification so that future TS changes will not be necessary to correspond to applicable NRC-approved exemptions from the requirements of Appendix J.
Therefore, the staff finds that the proposed change is acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTAT108 In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Texas State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no comments.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and change surveillance requirements. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (60 FR 20517). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(g).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.

7.0 CONCLUSION
The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations 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, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3)'the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
