l RELATED TO AMENDMENT No.186 TO FACILITY OPERATING l.lCENSE NO. DPR-72 CORRECTION OF INCORRECT REFERENCE FLORIDA POWER CORPORATION CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 DOCKET NO 50-302
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By "3F0599-16, Rev 0 to LAR 251 to License DPR-72,revising CR-3 ITS Administrative Controls Section 5.8, [[Topic" contains a listed "[" character as part of the property label and has therefore been classified as invalid.. Util Requests NRC Approval by June 30,2000|letter dated May 10,1999]], the Florida Power Corporation (FPC) submitted a request for changes to the Crystal River Unit 3 (CR-3) Improved Technical Specifications (ITS),
Administrative Controls Section 5.8, regarding "High Radiation Area." lTS Section 5.8.1, related to the control of access to high radiation areas, references the regulation 10 CFR 20.1601(2) and (3). As there is no such regulation, it is not a valid reference. FPC requested an editorial correction to cilange the ITS reference from 10 CFR 20.1601(2) and (3) to 10 CFR 20.1601(c).
2.0 EVALUATION ITS Section 5.8.1 for CR-3 specifies the methods to be used to control access to "High Radiation Areas," which are areas that are exposed to an intensity of radiation greater than 100 millirem per hour (mrem /hr) but less than 1,000 mrem /hr. The ITS references 10 CFR 20.1601(2) and (3) as a basis for the specifications.
There are no existing regulation: labeled 10 CFR 20.1601(2) and (3), but the relevant regulations are 10 CFR 20p01(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3), and 10 CFR 20.1601(c). Each part of 10 CFR 20.1601(a) speciiies acceptable features for controlling access to high radiation areas.
However,10 CFR 20.1601(c) allows for the licensee to obtain approval for alternative methods l
to control access to these areas. The methods specified by the ITS in Section 5.8.1, and the prior CR-3 Technical Specifications, Section 6.12, are approved alternatives to the ones i
specified by 10 CFR 20.1601(a). Because 10 CFR 20.1601(c) applies to alternative access control methods, it is clear that this is the correct regulation for the ITS to reference. This change is purely administrative in nature and is therefore acceptable.

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
S The amendment changes an administrative requirement. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that this amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding (64 FR 38026 ). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
5.0 CONCLUSION
Based on the review of the licensee's submittal, the staff finds that the proposed ITS change corrects an invalid reference and is an editorial change. Therefore, the staff finds the proposed ITS change acceptable.
