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

A.

The application for amendment by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company and South Carolina Public Service Authority (the licensees) dated January 8,1987, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act) and the Comission's rules and regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; B.

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

There is reasonable assurance (il 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 Comission's regulationst D.

The issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the comon defense and security or to the health and safety of the publict and E.

The issuance of this amendment is in accordance with 10 CFR Part 51 of the Comission's regulations and all applicable recuirements 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.f 2) of Facility Operating License No. NPF-12 is hereby amended to read as follows:
