Docket Number 50-346 License Number NPF-3 Serial Number 2037 Attachment Page 3 As described above, this LAR is an administrative change requesting deletion of TS information that is defined by TS or Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulation and is also maintained in the USAR. Presently, any changes to the facility affecting the USAR figures vould require a corresponding license amendment request per 10 CFR 50.90. Under this proposed LAR, changes to these facility as reflected in these figures vould be controlled by 10 CFR 50.59, which would require submittal of a license amendment request only if the proposed facility change involves an unreviewed safety question. SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS, AND ACTIVITIES AFFECTFD: This LAR affects the TS sections and figures shoving the maps of the Unrestricted Area, the Exclusion Area, and the Low Population Zone. No systems or components are affected by the proposed revision of these TS sections or deletion of these TS figures. SAFETY FUNCTIONS OF THE AFFECTED SYSTEMS, COMPONENTS AND ACTIVI lES: The function of TS Section 5 is to contain the facility design features including those features of the facility such as materials of constructjon and geometric arrangements which, if altered or modified, vould have a significant effect on safety, and which are not covered in the TS Limiting Conditions for Operation, Surveillance Requirements, or Safety Limits and Limiting Safety System Settings. The purpose of the TS is to maintain the validity of the Opdated Safety Analysis Report. EFFFCTS ON SAFETY: T'is LAR is strictly an administrative change, deleting TS figures, the content of which continue to be defined by TS and 10 CFR Part 100, and that are already maintained in the USAR. Changes-to these USAR= figures vould still be rootrolled by the 10 CFR 50.59 process. Thus, this proposed revision of the TS sections and deletion of the TS figures has no adverse effect on safety.

       -SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION:

The Nuclear Regulatary Commission has provided standards in 10 CFR 50.92(c) for determining whether a significant hazard exists due to a proposed amendment to an 0perating License for a facility. A proposed amendment involves no significant hazards consideration--if operation of the faellity in accordance with the proposed changes would: (1) Not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; (2) Not create the-possibility of a nov

        -or different-kind of: accident from any accident previously evaluated;-

" or (3) Not involve a significant reduction-in a margin-of safety. Toledo Edison has reviewe6 the proposed changes and determined that a f \
