POWER AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK DOCKET N0. 50-333 JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No.103 License No. DPR-59 1.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has found that:

A.

The application for amendment by the Power Authority of the State.

ofNewYork(thelicensee)datedJune 25, 1986, complies with the standards and re as amended (the Act)quirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,

, and the Commission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; 8.

The facility will operate in conformity with the application, the provisions of the Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission; C.

There is reasonable assurance (1) that the activities authorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public, and (ii) that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations; D.

The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public; and E.

The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Commission's regulations and all applicable requirements have been satisfied.

2.

Accordingly, the license is amended by changes to the Technical Specifications as indicated in the attachment to this license amendment and paragraph 2.C.(2) of Facility Operating License No. DPR-59 is hereby amended to read as follows:
