CUTiER Vlcc President Nuclear Englneerlng 6 Llcenstng United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ATTENTION: Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-000/LICENSE NO. NPF-63 REQUEST FOR LICENSE AMENDMENT DELETION OF ORGANIZATION CHARTS Gentlemen:

SUMMARY

In accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Parts 50.90 and 2.101, Carolina Power R Light Company (CPRL) hereby requests a revision to the Technical Specifications (TS) for the the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP). The roposed change deletes the organization charts from the Technical Specifications. The RC previously approved a similar change for the McGuire Nuclear Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 on March 16, 1986. This proposal has been endorsed by the Westinghouse as a lead plant item. Similar submittals are planned in the near future for the Owners'roup H. B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit No'. 2 and for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit Nos. I and 2.

DISCUSSION The content required in the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical SSpecifications is specified in 10CFR50.36.c(5). The regulation requires that the Technical Specifications contain the controls and provisions that are necessary to assure operation of the facility in a safe manner and does not specifically require inclusion of organizational charts in the Technical Specifications.

Previously, organization changes would have resulted in the Company's processing and the NRC's review of unnecessary license amendments. Consistent with the NRC and industry commitment to improve Technical Specifications, CPRL proposes to delete the organization charts from the Technical Specifications. Deletion of the organization charts will eliminate this needless expenditure of resources for both organizations.

SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS ANALYSIS The Commission has provided standards in 10CFR50.92(c) for determining whether a significant hazards consideration exists. A proposed amendment to an Operating License for a facility involves no significant hazards consideration if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated, 42) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated, or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The Company has reviewed the proposed change and determined that:

1. The proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated because deletion of the organization charts from the Technical Specifications does not affect plant operation. As in the past, the R will continue to be informed 870bi800ih 8706i2 r Oh sn) I PDR ADOCK 05000400 I I 1

NL$-87-106 / Page 2 of organizational changes through other required controls. The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 10, Part 50.30(b)(6)(i) requires that the applicant's organizational structure be included in the Final Safety Analysis Report.

Chapter 13 of the Final Safety Analysis Report provides a description of the organization and detailed organization charts. As required by 10CFR50.71(e),

the Company submits annual updates to the FSAR. Appendix B to 10CFR50 and IOCFR50.50(a)(3) govern changes to organization described in the Quality Assurance Program. Some of these organizational changes require prior NRC approval. Also, it is CPRL's practice to inform the NRC of organizational changes affecting the nuclear facilities prior to implementation. The Company intends to continue this practice for future organizational changes.

2. The proposed amendment does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident than previously evaluated because the proposed change is administrative in nature, and no physical alterations of plant configuration or changes to setpoints or operating parameters are proposed.

3. The proposed amendment does not involve significant reduction in a margin of safety. Through the Company's strong Quality Assurance programs and its commitment to maintain only qualified personnel in positions of responsibility, it is assured that safety functions performed by the on-site and the Corporate organizations will continue to be performed at a high level of competence.

Based on the above reasoning, CPRL has determined that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration.

ADMINISTRATIVEINFORMATION The proposed SHNPP Technical Specification pages are provided in Enclosure 1. The Company has evaluated this request in accordance with the provisions of 10CFR170.12 and determined that a license amendment application fee is required. A check for $ 150 is enclosed in payment of this fee.

Please refer questions regarding this matter to Mr. Sherwood R. Zimmerman at (919) 836-6202.
