i The U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) has issued Amendment No. 42 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-62 and Amendment No.17 to DPR-71 issued to Carolina Power and Light Company, which revised the licenses for operation of the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit Nos.1 and 2 located in Brunswick County, North Carolina. The amendments are effective as of the date of issuance.

The amendments delete the installation date of January 1, 1979 for cooling tower completion and require instead that the date be that es-l tablished by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency in its adjudicatory i

hearing proceeding on the facility's Section 402 Federal Water Pollution Control Act permit.

The application for the amendments complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Comission's rules and regulations. The Comission has made appro-y priate findings as required by the Act and the Comission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment. Notice of Proposed Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating Licenses in connection with this action was published in l

{ '~-l The Comission has prepared an environmental impact appraisal for the amended licenses and has concluded that an environmental impact 7

statement for this particular action is not warranted because (1) It is appropriate to defer to decisions to be made by EPA as to the choice and 1

installation date of the cooling system and (2) the results of this appraisal have not altered the fundamental conclusions of the FES.

For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the application for amendment dated March 4,1977,(2) Amendment No. 42 to License No. DPR-62, (3) Amendment No.17 to License No. DPR-71, and (4) the Comission's Environmental Impact Appraisal. All of these items are available for public inspection at the Comission's Public Document Room, 1717 H Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. and at the Southport-Brunswick County Library,109 W. Moore Street, Southport, North Carolina 28461. A copy of items (2), (3) and (4) may be obtained upon requesc j
