2.0 Evaluation Effective January 1,1984, the Comission revised the section 50.72 and added a new.section 50.73 to 10 CFR 50. The revised section 50.72 modified the imediate notification requirements, while the new section 50.73 revised the Licensee Event Report system.
The new requirements of 10 CFR 50.73 replaced the requirements previously placed on the licensee in its Technical Specifications. On December 19, 1983, the Comission issued the Generic Letter 83-43, which provided guidance on the implementation of the reporting requirements of sections 50.72 and 50.73 of 10 CFR 50. The generic guidance included the model technical specifications showing the revisions to be made to the " Definitions" and " Administrative Control" sections of the licensee's Technical Specifications.
On April 12, 1984, the licensee submitted a response to Generic Letter 83-43.
Also, included in the licensee's submittal were two administrative changes to correct the errors in the Technical Specifications.
We have reviewed the' licensee's.submittals provided in response to our requirements contained in 10 CFR 50.72 and 10 CFR 50.73, and find that the proposed changes meet our guidance and are acceptable.
Additionally, the correction of the reference from AEC to NRC, and the addition of the section 6.11.3 heading paragraph, which was inadvertently deleted in a previous amendment, constitute administrative changes, and are acceptable.
3.0 Environmental Considerations This amendment involves a change in the installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
The staff has determined that the amendment involves 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 Comission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration and there has been no public coment on such finding. Accordingly, this amendment meets 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 this amendment.
4.0 Conclusion We have 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, and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Comission's regulations,
