' U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission NYN-98131/ Page 2 Similar License Amendment changes have been approved by the NRC Staff, e.g., Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (Amendment No. 62, issued August 28,1995), and Vogtle Units I and 2 (Amendment Nos. 83 and 61, respectively, issued January 23,1995).
LAR 98-15 has been reviewed and approved by the Station Operation Review Committee and the Nuclear Safety Audit Review Committee.
As discussed in the enclosed LAR Section IV, the proposed change does not involve a significant hazard consideration pursuant to 10CFR50.92. A copy of this letter and the enclosed LAR have been forwarded to the New Ilampshire State Liaison Officer pursuant to 10CFR50.91(b).
