r-License N:s. DPR-44 Docktt Nos. 50-277 DPR-56 50-278 License Change Request i
t The changes proposed for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, Operating Licenses are described and shown in Attachment 2. Attachment 2 contains the changes associated with the Operating License.for each of the two units. The purpose of these changes is to revise or replace references to Public Service Electric and Gas Company, or PSE&G, with the name of the new affiliated owner, PSEG Nuclear LLC. The reason and.iustification for these changes, as well as additional background information is contained in Attachment 1.
The following section provides the 10 CFR 9 50.92 No Significant Hazards Consideration determination for these changes. The proposed amendment changes were reviewed by the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Plant Operations Review Committee and the PECO Energy Company Nuclear Review Board which concluded that the change did not involve an unreviewed safety question and the proposed change will not endanger the public health and safety..
No Sionificant Hazards Consideration Determination This No Significant Hazards Consideration evaluation is included to facilitate NRC Staff review of the application and the conforming license amendments.
Qg}cription of the Chanae i
The transfer of PSE&G's 42.50% non-operating ownership interests in Peach Bottom Units 2 and 3, involves only administrative or conforming changes to the Operating Licenses reflect the new nuciear generating affiliate,'PSEG Nuclear LLC, as the owner.
Basis for Proposed No Sionificant Hazards Consideration Determination 1.
iThe conformina amendments do not involve a sianificant increase in the probability or consecuences of an accident previously evaluated.
The proposed amendments do not involve a significant increase in the probability or
]
consequences of an accident previously evaluated because of the following:
The change does not involve any change in the design, configuration, or operation of the nuclear plants. PECO Energy will continue to be the licensed operator with all necessary operating authorities and technical qualifications. All Limiting Conditions for Operation, Limiting Safety System Settings and Safety Limits specified in the Technical
- Specifications remain unchanged. Also, the Physical Security Plans and related plans, the Operator Training and Requalification Programs, the Quality Assurance Programs, j
and the Emergency Plans are not being changed by the proposed amendment.
Therefore, the transfer does not involve an increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously analyzed.

h
Licensa Nos. DPR-44 Docket Nos. 50-277 DPR-56 50-278 2.
The conformina amendments do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident oreviousiv evaluated.
The proposed amendments do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously because of the following:
.The change does not involve any change in the management at the plants or in its design, configuration, or operation. The current plant design and design bases will remain the same. The current plant safety analyses remain complete and accurate in addressing the design basis events and in analyzing plant response and consequences.
The L!miting Conditions for Operations, Limiting Safety System Settings and Safety Limits specified in the Technical Specifications are not affected by the change. As such, the plant conditions for which the design basis accident analyses were performed remain valid. The change does not introduce a new mode of plant operation or new accident precursors, does not involve any physical alterations to plant configurations, or make changes to system set points that could initiate a new or different Idnd of accident.
Therefore, the change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3.
The proposed amendments do not involve a sianificant reduction in a marain of safety.
The proposed amendments do not involve any reduction in a margin of safety because of the following i
The change does not affect the financial qualifications of the licensees or the i
management of the plant.
Likewise, the change does not involve the design, configuration, or operation of the nuclear plants. The change does not affect either the v'ay in which the plant structures, systems, and components perform their safety function or their design and licensing bases. Plant safety margins are established through Limiting Conditions for Operation, Limiting Safety System Settings and Safety Limits specified in the Technical Specifications. Because there is no change to the physical design of the plant, there is no change to any of these margins. Therefore, the proposed amendments do not involve a reduction in a margin of safety.
Conclusion We have concluded that the proposed changes to the PBAPS, Units 2 and 3 Facility Operating Licenses do not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration.

I Information Suocortina an Environmental Assessment in accordance with 10 CFR 51.41, a review was performed to determine the impact of the proposed changes on the conclusions of the NRC's Final Environmental Statement for PBAPS. The considerations included in 10 CFR 51.45(b) were used in this review with. the following conclusions.
Since these changes are administrative only, implementation of the proposed changes has no impact on the environment. Since there is no impact on the environment, there are no adverse environmental effects that cannot be avoided. Since these changes are administrative only and have no impact on operation of the facility nor on the environment, there is no value in considering alternatives to the proposed changes. Since the operation of the facility is not affected by the proposed changes, there is no impact on the original assessment of the relationship between local short-term uses of man's environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term productivity.
Since the operation of the facility is unaffected by the proposed changes, there is no change to the commitment of resources and therefore, no irreversible nor irretrievable commitment of resources involved.
