SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO.'99 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-59 POWER AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-333
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated October 1, 1985, the Power Authority of the State of New-York (the licensee) requested an amendment to its Operating License No.
OPR-59 for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant.
The amendment was submitted as a proposed change to the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications (TS).
Specifically, the proposed change requested by the licensee consists of a wording change in Section 6.5 Review and Audit of the TS to clarify the fact that the Plant Operating Review Committee (PORC) is a review group, not an audit and review group.
2.0 EVALUATION 2.1 Proposed Change to Technical Specification Section 6.5 The wording change is meant to clarify that PORC reviews, while the Safety Review Committee (SRC) both reviews and performs audits.
The existing wording implies that PORC performs audits.
This change is a clarification of the existing organization and is consistent with the licensing basis of the plant.
Revised Section 6.5 reads as follows:
"Two separate groups for plant operations.have been constituted.
One of these, the Plant Operating Review Committee (PORC), is an onsite review group.
The other is an independent review and audit group, the offsite Safety Review Committee (SRC)." This proposed change meets the acceptance criteria in Section 13.4 of the Standard Review Plan, NUREG-0800, and is therefore acceptable.
3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
S This amendment relates to changes in administrative procedures or requirements.
Accordingly, this amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10) and pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of this amendment.
