SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO.

INTRODUCTION By letter dated May 18, 1983, Connecticut Yankee Atonic Power Company (CYAPCo or licensee) requested an amendrent to the Appendix A Technical Specifications (TS) appended to Provisional Operating License No. OPR-61 for the Haddam Neck
~~ Pirrt. The proposed changes would delete certain environmental cualifiertion schedule and documentation requirements, which have been superseded by new requirenents in 10 CFR 50.49.
e nu t u.e is t Consideration of Issuance of Amendment to License and Proposed No l
Significant Hazards Consideration Determination and Opportunity for Hearing i
related to tha recuested action was oublished in the Federal Reoister on May 71, 1985 (50 FR 20973).
No requests for hearino and no comients were received.
EVALUATION AND DISCUSSION Currently, Administrative Controls TS 6.14 " Environmental Quali#ication" describes the implementation schedule and records reouirements for environmental qualification of all safety-related electrical ecuipment in the facility. Specification 6.10.2.1 requires records for environmental qualification to be retained for the duration of the facility operating license. The licensee proposed to delete TS 6.14 Additionally, durino the staff's evaluation, the staff noted that TS 6.10.2.1 contained words in part that were no longer applicable and should be deleted. The proposed revisions by the licensee and additional changes by the staff were discussed and agreed to by the licensee durinc a telephone conference on May 31, 1985.
The staff finds that deletion of these reouirements from the TS can be made since schedule and documentation recuirements 'or environmental qualification of electrical equiprient tre superseded by 10 CFR 50.40 (effective June 30,1982).
The deletion of these requirements from the Haddam Neck TS is also consistent with final rulemaking by the Commission, as published in the Federal Recister on November 15,1984(49FR45114).

. The staff has evaluated the proposed changes to the TS and conc 7udes that these chances are administrative and do not involve any physical change to the plant's safety-related structures, systems or components.
Eurther, these changes do not increase the likelihood of a malfunction of safety-related equippert, or increase the consequences of an accident previously analyzed or create the possibility of a malfunction different fron thosa previously evaluated. Therefore, based on the above, the staff finds the licensee requested changes to revise record retention requirerents and to delete environmentcl qualification schedule and documentation requirements to be acceptable.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION This emendment involves changes in recordkeeping and administrative procedures or requirements. This anendment also involves changes in schedule requirements with respect to installation or use of facility electrical components located
~ within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The sta#f has deternined that the amendment involves no significant change in the types, and no significant increase in the amounts, of any effluents that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cuncletive occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significent hazards consideration and there has been no public comment on such finding.
Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for catecorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) and (10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environnental impact statement or enviror. rental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendnent.
~
CONCLUSION The staff 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; and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This safety evaluation was prepared by Mr. Michaef Schaeffer, Pegier I.
