-Per the licensee's request in this LAR, the NRC staff concludes that it is acceptable to incorporate the actions in the commitments as part of the USAR for the reasons described in Section 3.2 of this SE, rather than treating the commitments referenced in license condition

2. F as license conditions.

Therefore, the commitments can be listed in license condition 2.E The NRC staff concludes that that the following wording for license condition 2.E is acceptable:

The Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) supplement, as revised, submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 54.21 (d), shall be included in the next scheduled update to the USAR required by 10 CFR 50.71 (e)(4), as appropriate, following the issuance of this renewed operating license.

Until these respective updates are complete, the licensee may not make changes to the information in the supplement, or the above commitments.

Following incorporation of the supplement and commitments into the USAR, the need for Commission approval of any changes will be governed by 10 CFR 50.59.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the Nebraska State official was notified of the proposed issuance of the amendment.

The State official had no comments.

5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL

CONSIDERATION The amendment changes a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20. The NRC staff has determined that the amendment involves no significant increase in the amounts, and no significant change in the types, of any effluents that may be released offsite, and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendment involves no significant hazards consideration, and there has been no public comment on such finding published in the Federal Register on July 5, 2013 (78 FR 40519). Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations 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, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
