UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION LONG ISLAND LIGHTING COMPANY DOCKET NO. 50-322 NOTICE OF DENIAL OF AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) has denied in part a request by the licensee for an amendment to Facility Operating License i

i NPF-36, issued to the Long Island Lighting Company, for operation of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, located in Suffolk County, New York. The Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment was published in the Federal Register on November 6, 1985 (50 FR 46214).

Condition 2.C(8) of License RPF-36, dated July 3, 1985, states that 4

j " Prior to November 30, 198.5 the licensee shall environmentally qualify all i electrical equipment according to the provisions of 10 CFR 50.49." The licensee requested an extension beyond November 30, 1985 for certain utr t a g 3 pee

! The licensee re' quested an extension until November 30, 1986 for the

.i completion of qualification of the hydrogen recombiners and an extension 3 until August 31, 1986 for the completion of qualification of the damper

actuators. Considering that 1) the delay in the qualification of these items

~I was beyond the control of the licensee, 2) the actual testing has been completed, 3) the licensee is in the process of installing the new equipment and 4) the need for an extension beyond November 30, 1985 is based 8512240115 DR 851206 7' ADDCK 05000322 PDR

i. - _ --_-~ __ __ _-- - - ___. _

solely on delays in the completion of the qualification documentation packages, a

the staff and the Comission have found that the licensee has provided a satisfactory basis to demonstrate the exceptional nature of the case.

However, the Comission does not believe that the length of the extensions requested by the licensee are warranted, given the success other licensees have had in qualifying similar equipment. Furthermore, the licensee has verbally informed the staff that the equipment successfully completed the

)l qualification test program in late October 1985. The Comission believes i

j that an extension until December 31, 1985, should be sufficient to allow the l licensee to complete the qualification documentation packages. Accordingly.

the Comission has denied the licensee's request, but has approved an 4

i extensten until December 31, 1985.

[ By January 6, 1986, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect

j to the denial described above and any person whose interest may be affected

] by this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to intervene.

A request for a hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be j filed with the Secretary of the Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555, Attention: Docketing and Service Branch, or may be delivered to the Comission's Public bocument Room 1717 H Street, N.W., Washington, DC,

$ by the above date.
