SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NOS. 92 AND 56 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NOS. NPF-39 AND NPF-85 PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPAfE LIMERICK GENERATING STATION. UNITS I AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-352 AND 50-353
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated August 23, 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 4 remove the 125/250 Vdc Class IE Battery Load Cycle Table from TS, and rephrase the surveillance requirements to be consistent with NUREG-1433, " Standard Technical Specifications." The licensee also requested correction of a
Amendments 71 and 34, dated June 28, 1994, to change the surveillance requirement intervals from 24 months to 18 months. Amendments 71 and 34 incorrectly changed certain surveillance requirement intervals. These corrections are reflected on Pages 3/4 8-11, 3/4 8-12, and B 3/4 8-2 for Units 1 and 2.
2.0 EVALUATION The licensee has proposed the following changes to the affected TS Surveillance Requirements (SR):
(1)
Revise the wording of SR 4.8.2.1.d.1 to be consistent with SR 3.8.4.7 in NUREG-1433, (2)
Remove the 125/250 Vdc Class IE Load Cycle Table and the associated batterfinformationfromSR4.8.2.1.d.2.
8'ases page B 3/4 8-2 accordingly to reflect the changes (3)
Revi t
described in (1) and (2).
The first change does not alter the intent of SR 4.8.2.1.d.1, and is consistent with NUREG-1433. The second change removes the 125/250 Vdc Class IF Battery Load Cycle Table, which is also found in the LGS Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Section 8.3.
The UFSAR and the implementing surveillance test procedures are controlled and maintained by the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59, and are subject to the licensee's change control process in the Administrative Controls Section of LGS TS Section 6.0.

~;
The third change is only editorial and thus is acceptable. These changes are y
consistent with the guidelines contained in NUREG-1433, and therefore, the J.;
staff finds the proposed changes acceptable.
il In addition, the staff finds that correction of changes to the TS which were inadvertently made upon issuance of Amendments 71 and 34, is appropriate.
3.0 STALE 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 coments.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments 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 d
offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a i
prorosed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards f.
consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (59 FR 51624). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
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.
5.0 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.
