L ATTACHMENT C EVALUATION OF SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATIONS l
Commonwealth Edison has evaluated this proposed amenoment and determined that it involves no significant hazards considerations. According to l 10CFR50.92(c), a proposed amendment to an operating license involves no significant hazards if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not:
- 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or
- 2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or
- 3. Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.
Commonwealth Edison (Comed) proposes to delete 12 license conditions from the Byron Unit 1 operating license and two license conditions from the Byron Unit 2 operating license. The license conditions to be deleted have been satisfied and are no longer _ required to be listed in the operating license. The conditions to be - 3
-deleted from the Unit 1 license are 2.C.3, " Post-Fuel Loading initial Test Program," 2.C.4, " Seismic and Dynamic Qualification," 2.C.5, " Equipment
- Qualification," 2.C.7, " Control Room Human Factors," 2.C.8, "TMI Item II.F.1, lodine / Particulate Sampling," 2.C.9, " Emergency Response Capability," 2.C.10,
" Reliability of Diesel Generators," 2.C.11, " Generic Letter 83-28 (Required Actions based on Generic Implications of Salem ATWS Events)," 2.C.12, " Formal '
Federal Emergency Management Agency Finding," 2.C.13, " Control Room Ventilation System," 2.C.14, " Turbine Missiles," and 2.C.15, " Operating Staff Experience Requirements." The conditions to be deleted from the Unit 2 license are 2.C.3, " Initial Test Program," and 2.C.4, " Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision i 2." Other license conditions are revised to delete parts that no longer apply.
Certain items in the licenses have been revised to reflect revisions to the referenced documents. Throughout the license, editorial changes are proposed for clarity and consistency.

\' l l i l
A. The proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability }
or consequences of an accident previously evaluated. l i
i The initial conditions and methodologies used in the accident analyses remain i unchanged. The proposed changes do not change or alter the design l assumptions for the systems or components used to mitigate the ;
consequences of an accident. Therefore, accident analyses results are not !
impacted. l The license conditions were one-time commitments that have been satisfied. !
There are no physical changes to the facility, and all operating procedures,_ l
. limiting conditions for operation, limiting safety system settings, and safety j limits are unchanged. Removal of these license conditions is appropriate and l safe. l i
i Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the l probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, j B. The proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind {
of accident from any accident previously evaluated. l l
Many of the proposed changes delete references to items that have been _i completed. The NRC required these items as a condition of granting the )
license. Since they have been satisfied as intended, deleting them is ]
administrative.
None of the proposed changes affect the design or operation of any system, structure, or component in the plant. The safety functions of the related structures, systems, or components are not changed in any manner, nor is the reliability of any structure, system, or component reduced by the revised surveillance or testing requirements. The changes do not affect the manner by which the facility is operated and do not change any facility design feature, structure, system, or component. No new or different type of equipment will be installed. Since there is no change to the facility or operating procedures, and the safety functions and reliability of structures, systems, or components are not affected, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. _j l
i The remaining changes are editorial in nature and have no impact on plant j operation or design. 1 i

- C. The proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of l
safety.
i The proposed changes to the Operating License are generally administrative in -l nature and have no impact on the margin of safety of any Technical ,
Specification. There is no impact on safety limits or limiting safety system '
settings. The changes do not affect any plant safety parameters or setpoints. !
The operating license conditions have been satisfied, as required. There are ,
no changes to the conditions themselves. Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. ,
Therefore, based on the above evaluation, Commonwealth Edison has concluded !
that these changes do not involve significant hazards considerations. r i

ATTACHMENT D l ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT l
Commonwealth Edison has evaluated the proposed amendment against the criteria for identification of licensing and regulatory actions requiring environmental '
assessment in accordance with 10CFR51.21. It has been determined that the proposed change meets the criteria for a categorical exclusion as provided for under 10CFR51.22(c)(10). This determination is based on the fact that this change is being proposed as an amendment to a license issued pursuant to 10CFR50 that changes recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements.
