SUBJECT:

FORT CALHOUN STATION, UNIT NO. 1 - AMENDMENI NO. 181 TO FACILITY-

OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-40 (TAC NO. M97334) 4

Dear Mr.' Gambir:

The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No.181 to Facility Operating  ;

e License No. DPR-40 for the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No.1. This amendment l 1 consists of changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) in partial response i to'your application dated November 20, 1996, as supplemented by letters dated February 20, 1997, and March 25, 1997.

The amendment revises Section 5.2 of the Technical Specifications to relocate c controls for working hours to the Updated Safety Analysis Report. Portions of the November 20,~1996, application are still under staff review.

3 The technical specification requirements relocated to licensee-controlled

, documents (USAR) shall be controlled by 10 CFR 50.59. The license amendment  !

is effective and shall be implemented as bf its date of issuance. ,

laplementation of the license amendment shall include relocation of technical l specification requirements to the appropriate licensee-controlled document

i. (USAR) as identified in the enclosed safety evaluation. .

As an administrative action by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), which ,

c _only involves the format of the license and does not authorize any activities '

outside the scope of your application and supplement, the NRC amended the '

license to include an Appendix B which lists additional license conditions.

Approval of the amendment to include a license condition and the associated ,

Appendix B to the license was agreed to by your staff during a March 12, 1997, '

j meeting and documented by your March 25, 1997, submittal.

At the time you submitted the original application you did not inform the NRC

. of the need to have the license amendment issued by April 1,1997. You

-informed the staff of this need when you sent your supplemental submittal l dated February 20, 1997. As we have discussed with you in the past, a six

month lead time-is the minimum for an action needed by a specific date. In ,

the~ future, please adhere to the six-month period should you desire final NRC action by a certain date.

Mr. S. K. Gambhir March 27, 1997 In addition, your supplemental submittal inappropriately included new TS change requests associated with the recent OPPD reorganization. This new application required a separate 30-day notice related to whether the action involves a significant hazards consideration. As a result, this request could 1 not be granted by April 1, 1997. Please review supplemental submittals to ensure that they do not introduce changes outside the scope of the initial  ;

application.

A copy of our related Safety Evaluation is also enclosed. The Notice of Issuance will be included in the Commission's next biweekly Federal Reaister notice.
