RELATED TO AMEN 0 MENT NO. 41 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE DPR-77 AND AMENDMENT NO. 33 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE DPR-79 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY INTRODUCTION The Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA's) submittal dated May 21, 1985, proposes to delete all references to three-loop power operations in the Technical Specifi-cations of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2.
EVALUATION When the Technical Specifications were originally issued to TVA, NRC left in place all references to three-loop operation.
TVA stated that it has no plans to pursue approval of three-loop operation at Sequoyah. Additionally, this change was requested to eliminate the possibility of these Technical Specification requirements being inappropriately applied, resulting in confusion or potential violation.
This change is administrative in nattre and removes unused and unnecessary information from the Technical Specifications and is, therefore, acceptable.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION These amendments involve changes in the installation of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20.
The 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 these amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public coment on such finding. Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR Sec 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 these amendments.
CONCLUSION The Commission made a proposed determination that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration which was published in the Federal Register on July 31,1985 (50 FR 31072) and consulted with the state of Tennessee.
No public comments were received, and the state of Tennessee did not have any comments.

2-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 activ'ities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of i
these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
