OPR-29 AND AMENDMENT NO. 97 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-30 COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY AND IOWA-ILLIN0IS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-254/265
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated February 17, 1983, the licensee, Comonwealth Edison Company, proposed changes to Section 6, Administrative Controls, of the Technical Specifications (TS) for Quad Cities Units 1 and 2.
On August 29, 1983, in Federal Register, Vol. 48, No. 168, the Commission amended its regulations,10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73, to revise imediate re-porting requirements and to establish a new reporting system for signif-icant events at nuclear power plants. On December 19, 1983, the Division of Licensing issued Generic letter No. 83-43, " Reporting Requirements of 10 CFR 50, Sections 50.72 and 50.73, and Standard Technical Specifications (STS), informing all licensees of the revision to Section 50.72, Immediate Notification Pequirements, and the addition of a new Section 50.73, Licensee Event Report System. Licensees were requested to update their TSs to include the new requirements, and model STS, were provided showing the revisions that should be made in the " Administrative Controls" and
" Definitions" sections. The letter also requested the licensees to review and update other areas of the TS concernino reportability, as reouired.
By letter dated August 23, 1084, the licensee again submitted proposed amendments with revisions to facility Licenses DPR-29 and DPP-30.
The proposed amendments contained several miscellaneous changes'to the facilities' TS and (1) changes to reporting requirements to reflect the requirements of 10 CFR 50.73, (2) changes to position titles and orcanizational changes, (3) additional Senior Operator (50) requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(1) and (ii), (4) changes to reflect the current NRC organization, (5) corrections of miscellaneous descrip-tions, grammar and typographical errors.
After our initial review of the August 23, 1984 and February 17, 1983 applications, the licensee, by letter dated January 20, 1986, submitted a revised TS amendment proposal which consolidated the requested changes in the aforementioned letters and addressed minor concerns identified during the initial review.

This safety evaluation is a review of the requested changes submitted in the January 20, 1986, submittal and their impact on the operation and administration of plant activities.
2.0 EVALUATION-The changes proposed by the licensee are administrative in nature and do not adversely affect the safety of the plant nor the general public.
Some of the changes modify the TS to conform with 10 CFR 50.54 and 10 CFR 50.73 for shift manning and reporting requirements, respectively.
Revised organization charts for the licensee and associated text changes are also incorporated.
A.
Changes to Reporting Requirements (TS Sections 3.12/4.12.A.2.b; 3.1?/4.12.B.2; 3.12/4.12.C.4 for Unit 2; 3.12/4.12.C.3 for Unit 1; 3.12/4.12.D.5; 6.1.G.a.7; 6.1.G.f.2.a.10; 6.3. A.1 and deletion of 6.6.P1 The above tabulated sections of the TS are revised to require that-reports he submitted per the requirements of 10 CFR 50.73. Report content is revised to include a description of actions taken associated with inoperable equipment.
In addition, former sections describing previous requirements (TS section 6.6.8) are deleted and the word " event" replaces the word " occurrence."
These changes bring the facilities into conformance with 10 CFR 50.73, and are therefore acceptable.
B.
Changes to Position Titles and Organ 17ation (TS Sections 6.1.C; 6.1.D; 6.1.G; 6.1.G.a; 6.1.G.I.a.10; 6.1.G.1.b; 6.1.G.1.b.12;
+
i 6.1.G.1.c; 6.1.G.1.f.2.a; 6.1.G.f.2.a.1; 6.1.G.f.2.a.5; 6.1.G.f.2.a.8; 6.1.G.f.2.a.9; 6.1.G.f.2.a.11; 6.1.G.f.2.b; 6.1.G.f.2.c; 6.1.G.f.2.d.1; 6.1.G.f.2.e; 6.2.A.14; 6.2.C.1;
(.
6.2.D.3; 6.3.A.2; 6.4; Figures 6.1-1 and 6.1-2)
Figure 6.1-1, " Corporate Organization," and Figure 6.1-2, " Station Organization," have been revised. These changes reflect the current Commonwealth Edison (CECO) organization as depicted in CECO Quality Assurance Manual, Revision 12. Chances reflecting new titles delineated in the organization charts are made. The changes are appropriate and in agreement with the Quality Assurance Manual, and are therefore acceptable.
C.
Shift Manning Requirements (TS Table 6.1-3)
The table delineating minimum shift manning requirements is revised to agree with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(m)(2)(1) and (ii).
The TS is revised to increase the number of 50s per the guidance specified in 10 CFR 50.54, and is therefore acceptable.

.c' o.
D.
Designation of N,RC Regional Administrator (6.6.C.3)
[
The word " Administrator" replaces the former designation of
" Director" to properly reflect this NRC organizational change in the TS. This change is therefore acceptable.
E.
Miscellaneous Grammatical and Typographical Errors (TS Sections 1.0. AA through 1.0.HH; 6.1.B; 6.1.C; 6.1.D; 6.1.F; 6.1.G.1.b.5; 6.1.G.1.b.6;6.1.G.f.2.d.2;6.4;6.5.A.3;6.6.C; Table 6.6-1)The majority of these changes address renumbering TS sections due to the deletion of the reportable occurrences and changing the term
" reportable occurrences" to " reportable events." Several of these changes elaborate on the qualifications of members of the plant staff a
which, although addressed in various regulations, standards and previous correspondence, were previously not included in the TS. The requirement for reporting Economic Generation Control i
System performance at the completion of initial testing has been met, so the current requirement which is delineated in Table 6.6-1 is therefore deleted, and the change is therefore acceptable.
F.
Clarification of Environmental Qualification Requirements j'
(TSSection6.7) t Section 6.7 has been changed to reflect Environmental Qualification (EQ) Requirements which were in place at the time of application.
4 These changes are therefore acceptable.
In a future TS change submittal, the EQ TS should be requested to be deleted since the EQ rule has been established in 10 CFR 50.49. The record keeping portion of the new TS is, however, referenced in TS 6.5.B.13.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTALCONSIDERA_TM This amendment relates to changes in recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures or requirements. Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement nor environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with i -
the issuance of this amendment.
4.0 CONCLUSI0N The staff has concluded, based on the consf@ rations 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 i
Commission's regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security nor to the health and safety of the public.
