1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated December 20, 1985, and supplemented by information provided by letter dated February 7, 1986, Arkansas Power & Light Company (AP&L) requested changes to the Administrative Controls sections of the Technical Specifications for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit Nos. I and 2.
The proposed amendments would revise Technical Specifications to reflect a reorganization of the Nuclear Operations Department of AP&L.
In addition, the proposed amendments would revise the Technical Specifica-tions pertaining to the responsibility and membership of the Safety Review Committee (SRC).
2.0 EVALUATION The proposed changes were reviewed using the applicable acceptance criteria of Sections 13.1.1, 13.1.2 and 13.4 of,the Standard Review Plan (SRP). Our evaluations are provided hereinafter.
1.
Figure 6.2 Management Organization Chart AP&L has revised the organization under the Vice President, Nuclear Operations. These changes include the following:
a.
AP&L has consolidated the current Energy Quality Assurance Section, the AN0 Construction Quality Control Section, and the Nuclear Quality Control Section so that they all report to the new position of Nuclear Quality General Manager.
The Nuclear Quality General Manager reports to the Vice President,.
Nuclear Operations.
b.
The new position of Nuclear Services General Manager, who reports to the Vice President, Nuclear Operations, has been created. Reporting to the Nuclear Services General Manager is the Nuclear Program Manager, the Nuclear Services Manager, and the Nuclear Engineering and Licensing Manager.

. c.
The new position of Nuclear Program Manager has been created.
The Nuclear Program Manager, who reports to the Nuclear Sefvices General Manager, has responsibility for the corporate health physics function and the corporate fire protection program.
The staff has reviewed the above described changes and determined that:
(1) the proposed organizational structure provides for the integrated management of activities that support the safe operation and maintenance of the facilities, and (2) clear management control and effective lines of authority and communications exist between the organi-zational units involved in the management, operation, and technical support for the operation of the facilities.
Therefore, the above described changes meet the applicable acceptance criteria of Section 13.1.1, " MANAGEMENT AND TECHNICAL SUPPORT ORGANIZATION", of the SRP and are acceptable to the staff.
2.
Figure 6.2 Functional Organization for Plant Operations AP&L has revised the site organization for Arkansas Nuclear One (ANO). The changes include the following:
a.
The new position of Director, Site Nuclear Operations who has overall responsibility for the site has been established.
Reporting to the Director, Site Nuclear Operations will be the new positions of Plant Modifications Manager who is responsible for all ANO construction projects, the General Manager Plant Operations who is responsible for the opera-tion and maintenance of ANO, the new position of General Manager Plant Support who is responsible for Engineering, Training and Technical Support, and the Special Projects Manager.
b.
The new positions of Engineering Manager and Work Control Center Manager have been created. The new positions incor-porate the functions that previously were the responsibility of the Engineering and Technical Support Manager. The position of Engineering and Technical Support Manager has been abolished.
c.
The new position of Training Manager, and Work Control Center Manager have been created.
The Training Manager assumes the function formerly done by the Training Superintendent. The Work Control Center Manager will be responsible for AN0's new Work Control Center.
d.
Two new positions of Operational Technical Support Supervisor have been created. They report to the respective Unit Operations Superintendents (one for Unit 1 and one for Unit 2).
~y
s The staff has reviewed these changes and determined that they will enhance the effectiveness of the Director, Site Nuclear Operations in that by delegating some of his responsibilities to the Genera'l Manager Plant Operations and the General Manager Plant Support, his attention can be focused on activities related to important safety issues. In addition, the proposed site organization still maintains clear lines of authority to the Director, Site Nuclear Operations and responsibility for all activities important to the safe operation of the facilities. Therefore, these changes meet the applicable acceptance criteria of Section 13.1.2, "0PERATING ORGANIZATION", and are acceptable to the staff.
3.
Section 6.5.2.2 - The proposed change would replace job titles referenced in the Specification for the composition of the SRC with the statement that the SPC shall be composed of a chairman and eight members which collectively have the experience and competence required by ANSI /ANS - 3.1 - 1981 to review problems in the areas specified in Section 6.5.2.1, a-h.
This change would reduce the need for future Technical Specification changes due to minor restructuring of the organization or title changes.
The applicable criteria of Section 13.4, "0PERATIONAL REVIEW",
of the SRP specify that ANSI /ANS - 3.1 is an acceptable industry standard for qualification levels of persons performing indepen-dent reviews of plant operations.
The proposed change is acceptable to the staff since it meets the applicable acceptance criteria of Section 13.4 As a further clarification to Specification 6.5.2.2, the licensee agreed during a telephone discussion of February 21, 1986, that this Specification requires that each member of the SRC meet the qualification levels as
~
described in Section 4.4 of ANSI /ANS - 3.1 - 1981.
4.
There are miscellaneous changes including title changes throughout Section 6.0 to reflect the reorganizhtion and editorial changes.
We reviewed these changes and find them acceptable since they are purely administrative changes to reflect the new organization, to correct a typographical error and to make minor editorial changes.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
The amendments relate to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or adminis-trative procedures or 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 or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.
4.0 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 Commission's regulations, and the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
