SAFETY EVALLIATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO. I94 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-16 GPU NUCLEAR CORPORATION AND JERSEY CENTRAL POWER & LIGHT COMPANY l
OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION DOCKET NO. 50 219
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated October 10, 1997, the GPU Nuclear Corporation (the licensee) requested an amendment to the Facility Operating License No. DPR 16 for the Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station (0yster Creek) and the Technical Specifications (TS) appended to the license.
The requested changes would reflect the registered trade name of "GPU Energy," used by the owner of the facility, Jersey Central Power and Light Company, in the operating license for Oyster Creek and reflect the change in the legal name of the operator of Oyster Creek from GPU Nuclear Corporation to GPU Nuclear, Inc.
In addition, two minor editorial corrections associated with the name change are included in the proposed amendment. Specifically, license conditions 1.A 1.E. 1.F.
and 2 have been revised to indicate Jersey Central Power & Light Company doing business as (d/b/a) GPU Energy and GPU Nuclear, Inc. as the licensed operator of the facility and TSs 6.2.1, 6.5.1, 6.5.2, 6.5.3, 6.18, and 6.19 have been modified to change GPU Nuclear Corp. to GPU Nuclear or GPU Nuclear, Inc. as applicable.
2.0 EVALUATION The proposed amendment to the license for Oyster Creek to reflect the trade
- name of the owner and to reflect the change in the legal name of the operator will have no impact on the continued safe operation of the facility. The corporate existence of the owner and operator of Oyster Creek will continue uninterrupted, and all legal characteristics, other than the legal name of the EEk oN 9 P.
P
3 license. Specifically, the owner of Oyster Creek will remain an electric utility as defined in 10 CFR 50.2. The funds accrued by the owner will continue to be available to fulfill all obligations related to Oyster Creek.
The two minor editorial changes relate to a name change in the title of-the President of GPU Nuclear Corporation that will similarly have no effect on the safe operation or licensing conditions of the facility.
l In consideration of the foregoing, the changes are acceptable.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22, 51.32, and 51.35, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact has been prepared and published in the Federal Reaister on December 18, 1997 (62 FR 66399). Accordingly, based upon the environmental assessment, the staff has determined that the issuance of the amendment will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.

The Commission has 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. (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
