Hatch Nuclear Plant - Units 1 and 2 Supplement to Application to Revise Technical Specifications to Adopt TSTF-568, Revise Applicability of BWR/4 TS 3.6.2.5 and TS 3.6.3.2 Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated June 12, 2020 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML20164A278) Southern Nuclear Operating Company (SNC) submitted a request for amendments to the Technical Specifications (TS) for Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant (HNP), Units 1 and 2. SNC requested adoption of Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF)
Traveler 568 (TSTF-568), Revise Applicability of BWR/4 TS 3.6.2.5 and TS 3.6.3.2.
In the license amendment request it was determined that the Environmental Evaluation contained two errors transcribed from TSTF-568. The enclosure to this letter contains the revised Environmental Evaluation which supersedes the previous submittal. The revision does not alter the conclusion of the previous Environmental Evaluation.
In addition, the conclusions of the No Significant Hazards Consideration contained in the application have been reviewed and are unaffected by this response.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91, a copy of this supplement, with enclosure, is being provided to the designated Georgia Official.
There are no regulatory commitments made in this submittal.
If you should have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact Jamie Coleman at 205.992.6611.
U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission NL-20-1061 Page 2 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. Executed on the 8h day of September 2020.

Enclosure to NL-20-1061 Revised Environmental Evaluation E-1 4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The proposed change would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, or would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. The proposed change does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, the proposed change meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed change.
