The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has ' considered =!

the issuance of changes to the Technical Specifications of Facility .!!!l'.~.

U: ='?:D.,

Operating License No. DPR-3. These chang'es would authorize the Yankee ]

Atomic Electric Company (the licensee) to operate the Yankee Rowe Atomic . =i Power Plant (located in Rowe, Massachusetts) wi,th changes to limiting 7.s. .

conditions for operation associated with application of the Acceptance ==

Criteria for Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS). This ' action is being taken in conjunction with core changeout for Core XII. = ,

The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, Division of Reactor Licensing, has prepared an environmental impact appraisal for the proposed

[

changes to the Technical Specifications of License No. DPR-3, Yankee Rowe 5 Atomic Power Plant, mentioned above. On the basis of this appraisal, the

~

k Commission has concluded that an environmental impact statement for the [

particular action is not warranted because there will be no environmental '

impact attributable to the proposed action. The environmental impact _

appraisal is available for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room 1717 H Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. and at the  :
