SAFETY EVALVATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NOS. 139 AND 117 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE N05. DPR-70 AND DPR-75 PUBLIC SERVICE ELECTRIC & GAS COMPANY PHILADELPHIA ELECTRIC COMPANY DELMARVA POWER AND LIGHT COMPANY ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC COMPANY SALEM NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated August 2, 1991, as supplemented by letter dated September 30, 1992, the Public Service Electric & Gas Company, Philadelphia Electric Company, Delmarva Power and Light Company and Atlantic City Electric Company (the licensees) submitted a request for changes to the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, licenses and Technical Specifications (TS).
The requested changes would revise the fire protection license condition and relocate the fire protection technical specifications to plant procedures and to the Updated final Safety Analysis Report in accordance with guidance provided in Generic Letters 86-10 and 88-12.
The September 30, 1992, letter provided clarifying information that did not change the initial proposed no significant hazards consideration determination.
2.0 EVALUAT193 By letters dated August 2, 1991 and September 30, 1992, the licensee requested an amendment to their operating license to revise the fire protection license condition and relocate fire protection technical specifications to plant procedures and to the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report in accordance with the guidance provided in Generic letters 86-10 and 83-12.
The staff's contractor, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), reviewed the licensee's submittal and found it acceptable with the exception of Technical Specification (TS) for alternate shutdown equipment.
This issue will be pursued with the licensee independent of this request.
Attachment I to this safety evaluation (SE) is the Technical Evaluation Report (TER) from SAIC.
The staff has reviewed the TER and agrees with the SAIC conclusions.
The licensee's request for an amendment to their operating
$[3b R
P
. license is therefore granted.
This TER constitutes the staff's SE for the relocation of the fire protection technical specifications and the change to the operating license condition.
Also, the licensee's submittal did not include a proposed revision to Page IV of the index for the Salem 1 TS.
With the concurrence of the licensee, this change has been included.
This is an administrative change and is acceptable.
3.0 STATE CONSULTATION
in accordance with the Commission's regulations, the New Jersey State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendments. The State official had no connents.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a
'acility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
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 (57 FR 11116). 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.
This amendment also relates to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).
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.
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.
