SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF SPECIAL PROJECTS SUPPORTING AMENDMENT N0. 72 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. OPR-77 AND AMENDMENT N0.
64 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE N0. OPR-79 TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-327 AND 50-328
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated February 27, 1987, Tennessee Valley Aathority (TVA) submitted a proposed change to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Sequoyah, Units 1 and 2.
The proposed change to Section 6.9 incorporates in final copy, the "pen-and-ink" changes authorized by the 10 CFR Parts 50 and 51 Final Rule published in the Federal Register on November 6,1986.
In addition, one minor typographical error in the Unit 1 TS would be corrected.
2.0 BACKGROUND
Because of varying and sometimes conflicting requirements for the submittal of information by applicar.ts and licensees, confusion had arisen with regard to copy requirements and proper submittal procedures.
In an effort to clarify these matters, the NRC issued Regulatory Guide 10.1 (Revision 4), "Compilation of Reporting Requirements for Persons Subject to NRC Regulations," and on August 8, 1982, the Director, Division of Liernsing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, issued Generic Letter 82-14, "Submittal of Documents to the Nuclear Regulatory Comission." While these efforts at clarification resolved much of the confusion, these guidance documents contained outdated information and, in many cases, conflicted with existing reporting requirements or inaividual licenses. Therefore, the NRC promulgated amendments to 10 CFR Parts 50 and 51 to specify copy requirements and provide mailing instructions for submittals to the NRC.
Licensees, whose TS contained submittal directions that conflicted with those of 10 CFR Parts 50 and 51, were authorized by the Rule to delete the conflicting directions by pen and ink changes to the TS.
The pen and ink changes for all controlled copies of Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2 TS were completed with the subject changes noted as a "Special Revision." The proposed amendment formally incorporates these pen-and-ink changes into the licenses of the respective units.

. t 3.0 EVALUATION The staff has reviewed the requested TS change and determined that the proposed amendment is strictly administrative in nature. The requested 6.9.1, 6.9.1.10, 6.9.1.14 and 6.9.2 have been verified to changes to TS Sections
)
be those pen-and-ink changes required by 10 CFR Parts 50 and 51 Final Pule published in the Federal Pegister on November 6, 1986.
The additional change 1
to Unit 1 TS was verified to be a typographical error and only administrative in nature.
4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
These amendments involve changes in reporting requirements.
Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement nor environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
5.0 CONCLUSION
We have 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 Consission's regulations, and the issuance of these arrendments will not be inimical to the comon defense and security nor to the health and safety of the public.
