This evaluation supports a request to amend South Carolina Electric
&Gas Company (SCE&G),
Technical Specifications (TS) Section 6.0,"Administrative Controls" by revising the Shift Supervisor title to ShiftManager.1.0 SUMMARY DESCRIPTION These proposed changes are to be implemented based on recommendations from Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) within Significant Operating Experience Report (SOER) 96-1, Control Room Supervision Operational Decision-Making and Teamwork dated September 27, 1996 and ACAD 97-004,Guidelines for Shift Manager Selection, Training and Qualification, andProfessional Development dated April 1997. The requested change isadministrative in nature and will not alter the qualifications, functions, responsibilities or authorizations previously established by 10 CFR 50.36, 10CFR 50.54 and 10 CFR 55.SCE&G requests approval of the proposed amendment by June 1, 2016. Onceapproved, the amendment shall be implemented within 30 days or less.2.0 DETAILED DESCRIPTION This amendment request is to revise TS section 6.0, "Administrative Controls,"
for the generic position title Shift Supervisor to Shift Manager.
Specifically, thetitle of Shift Supervisor is being changed to Shift Manager in the following TSsections:
6.1.2, Table 6.2-1, 6.2.4, and 6.12.2. This change has been Document Control DeskEnclosure LAR/CR-14-02981 RC-1 5-0109Page 2 of 8recommended by INPO within SOER 96-1 dated September 27,1996.
TheSOER discusses events caused by deficiencies in supervisory oversight, reactivity
: control, teamwork, and crew decision-making.
Observations of controlroom operating crews showed that performance is affected by the leadership ofthe Shift Supervisor and Control Room Supervisor.
The individuals filling theroles of supervisors must function as team leaders and maintain close oversight of control room activities to detect errors or lapses in judgment or a breakdown inrole responsibilities by other crew members.
The supervisors must remain fullyinvolved in all control room evolutions and be prepared to assert their authority for command and control whenever high standards are not being maintained.
The change in position title Shift Supervisor to Shift Manager is intended tointegrate the senior licensed shift crew member into the plant management team.As a member of station management, the Shift Supervisor is central to theoperating organization's ability to safely operate the station and meet thedemands of the operations mission in accordance with station management's expectations.
Shift Supervisors fully integrated into the management team arebetter able to internalize the station's goals, articulate those goals to theiroperating crews, and ensure all on-shift operations and support personnel worktoward achieving those goals. The Shift Supervisor's management role is tofacilitate and champion the practical application of the principles of safe andreliable station operation while holding operations and support personnel accountable to the high standards of performance expected by stationmanagement.
The change in generic title to Shift Manager is still representative for the title of the senior licensed shift crewmember.
This proposed changereflects the practice adopted by several licensees to emphasize the scope andsignificance of the responsibilities for this position.
3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION Organizational structure and the conduct of operations of South Carolina Electric& Gas Company are discussed in the Final Safety Analysis Review (FSAR)Chapter 13. The Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station is operated from one centralcontrol room. The Shift Supervisor is directly responsible for the safe andefficient operation of the plant. For the operation of one unit, each shift isnormally manned by one Shift Supervisor (Licensed Senior Reactor Operator),
one Control Room Supervisor (Licensed Senior Reactor Operator),
one NuclearReactor Operator (Licensed Senior Reactor Operator or Licensed ReactorOperator),
and Reactor Operators and Auxiliary Operators (no license required, but desirable).
At least one of the Reactor Operators and Auxiliary Operators willhave a Reactor Operator's License.
There shall be a total of at least twolicensed Senior Reactor Operators and two licensed Reactor Operators per shift.
Document Control DeskEnclosure LAR/CR-14-02981 RC-15-0109 Page 3 of 8In addition to the "operations" shift crew as stated above, there shall be one shiftengineer and at least one Health Physics Specialist onsite at all times.The Shift Supervisor, who reports to the Manager, Operations via the Operations Supervisor, is in direct charge of the plant, including
: startup, power operations, and shutdown.
The Shift Supervisor will initiate immediate action in the event ofan upset situation to avoid exceeding the Technical Specifications limitations, toavert possible injury or undue radiation exposure to personnel, or to preventdamage to plant equipment.
The Shift Supervisor has the responsibility ofsupervising the actions of the station operators (Control Room Supervisor, SeniorReactor Operator, Reactor Operator, and Auxiliary Operators) to assure safe andprudent operation of the facility.
The Shift Supervisor initiates immediate corrective action in any upset situation until assistance, if required, arrives.
Otherresponsibilities include; ensuring plant operating procedures are kept current,and when deemed necessary, initiating changes to these procedures; ensuringthat his or her shift is properly manned and other groups are called in to workwhen necessary; coordinating all maintenance and testing being performed during his or her shift; and ensuring that the training of personnel assigned to hisor her shift as required by the overall training and retraining programs isconducted.
FSAR section 13.1.3.1.5 provides a general guideline of thequalification requirements for the Shift Supervisor that meet the minimumrequirements set forth in Regulatory Guide 1.8, "Qualification and Training ofPersonnel for Nuclear Power Plants" Revision 2.SCE&G is committed to NQA-1-1994, Parts 1, 11, and 111. The Shift Supervisor position is discussed within various types of procedures used by SCE&G togovern the design, operation, and maintenance of its nuclear generating plants.SCE&G follows the guidance of Appendix A to Regulatory Guide 1.33 Revision 2in identifying the types of activities that should have procedures or instructions tocontrol the activity.
Quality Assurance Program Description (QAPD) reflects theShift Supervisor responsibilities and the requirement that a directive beestablished that contains clear delineation of the management chain of authority.
The proposed changes for this amendment impacts the title only and, therefore, the change will not alter the qualifications, functions, responsibilities orauthorizations previously established.
Needed changes to the QAPD would notbe a reduction in effectiveness, therefore, changes can be processed under a 10CFR 50.54(a)
Evaluation.
This proposed change will not lower the safety or effectiveness of theorganization.
The title change from Shift Supervisor to Shift Manager does notchange the intent of the Technical Specifications or the qualifications, functions, responsibilities and authorizations previously established by 10 CFR 50.36,10 CFR 50.54 and 10 CFR 55. This proposed change reflects the practice Document Control DeskEnclosure LAR/CR-14-02981 RC-15-0109 Page 4 of 8adopted by several licensees to emphasize the scope and significance of theresponsibilities for this position.
4.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION For reactor operators, senior reactor operators, fuel handlers, fire protection personnel, and positions specified in 10 CFR 50.120, programs are developed, established, implemented and maintained using a systems (or systematic) approach to training (SAT) as defined by 10 CFR 55.4 and ANSI/ANS-3.1-1993 as endorsed by Regulatory Guide (RG)-1.8.
The title of Shift Supervisor iscategorized within 10 CFR 50.120 but is never defined and within RG 1.8,Sections 4.3.1.1, the generic title of "Shift Supervisor,"
of ANSI/ANS-3.1-1981 isendorsed.
NUREG-0578 makes a reference to the Shift Supervisor's commandfunction or position as that of a "manager" or "commander" of shift operations and the latest draft revision of the Standard Review Plan Chapter 13.1.2 (DraftRevision
: 7) section 3.C.iii uses the title interchangeably with shift manager.4.1 Applicable Regulatory Requirements
/ Criteria10 CFR 50.34(b)(6)(i) requires that the FSAR for a license to operate a nuclear power plantinclude information concerning the organizational structure, personnel qualifications, and related matters.10 CFR 50.36(c)(5) requires administrative controls related to organization and management, procedures, recordkeeping, review and audit, and reporting necessary to assureoperation of the facility in a safe manner to be in the Technical Specifications.
The details of the organization and management that are required to be in theTechnical Specifications were delineated in Generic Letter (GL) 88-06, "Removalof Organization Charts From Technical Specifications Administrative ControlRequirements,"
dated March 22, 1988. These details included the "Designation of those positions in the onsite organization that require a senior reactor operator(SRO) or reactor operator (RO) license."
10 CFR 50.54(I) The licensee shall designate individuals to be responsible for directing thelicensed activities of licensed operators.
These individuals shall be licensed assenior operators pursuant to part 55 of this chapter.

===5.0 'Administrative===
Controls' (License Amendment Request OL 1267)," dated March 28, 2006[ML061020060].
Calloway received their SER on July 11, 2006[ML061250207].
The changes proposed within the Calloway submittal are similar in thechange in title for the Shift Supervisor to Shift Manager.
Within thissubmittal Calloway also requested a change to the title for the HealthPhysics organization that does not apply to VC Summer. Another delta isthe Quality Assurance Program in that VC Summer has been approved forNQA-1 (1994) Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Applications.
VC Summer has incorporated the administrative control requirements ofAmerican National Standards Institute (ANSI) N18.7-1976/American Nuclear Society (ANS) 3.2 Administrative Controls and Quality Assurance for the Operational Phase of Nuclear Power Plans as endorsed byRG 1.33 revision

Document Control DeskEnclosure LAR/CR-14-02981 RC-15-0109 Page 6 of 84.3 No Significant Hazards Consideration
: 1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability orconsequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) regarding ShiftSupervisor to Shift Manager are administrative changes.
It has no impact onaccident initiators or plant equipment and thus does not affect the probability orconsequences of an accident.
: 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind ofaccident from any accident previously evaluated?
Response:
No.The proposed change does not involve a change to the physical plant oroperations.
This is an administrative title change that does not contribute toaccident initiation.
Therefore, it does not produce a new accident scenario orproduce a new type of equipment malfunction.
: 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety?Response:
No.Since the change is administrative and changes no previously evaluated accidents or creates no possibility for any new unevaluated accidents to occur,there is no reduction in the margin of safety. This change also does not affectplant equipment or operation and therefore does not affect safety limits or limitingsafety systems settings.
 
===4.4 Conclusions===
Based on the above, SCE&G concludes that the proposed amendment presentsno significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in10 CFR 50.92(c),
and accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazardsconsideration" is justified.
Document Control DeskEnclosure LAR/CR-14-02981 RC-15-0109 Page 7 of 85.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS SCE&G has determined that this proposed amendment involves no significant hazardous considerations and no significant change in the types of any effluents thatmay be released off-site and that there is no significant rise in individual orcumulative occupational radiation exposure.
Accordingly, this proposed 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 environment assessment need be prepared in connection with this amendment.
