Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attention: Document Control Dest Washington, DC 20555 South Texas Project Electric Generating Station Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. STN 50-498, STN 50-499 Proposed Revision to Technical Specifications Removal of Organization Charts from Technical Specification Administrative Control Recuirements Reference Combined Technical Specifications for Units 1 and 2, M. A. McBurnett, HL&P; Letter to Document Control Desk, NRC; May 27, 1988. ST-HL-AE-2675.

Purso, 't to 10CFR50.90 and 2.101. Houston Lighting & Power Company (HL&P) hereby proposes to amend its Operating License NPF-76 by incorporating the attached proposed change into the Technical Specifications, NUREG-1395, of South Texas Project Electric Generating Station (STPEGS) Unit 1. In addition, HL&P requests that the changes be incorporated into the Combined Technical Specifications for Units 1 and 2 (Draft) submitted by Reference 1.

Specifically, the proposed change to Technical Specifications 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 deletes onsite and offsite organization charts and provides appropriate changes to the administrative control requirements. These changes have been made in accordance with the ruidelines of NRC Generic Letter 88-06, "Removal of Organization Charts from Technical Specification Administrative Control Requirements." The proposed change to delete these organization charts will provide greater flexibility for implementation of changes in both the onsite and offsite organizational structure, consistent with Commission policy.

HL&P has reviewed the attached proposed change pursuant to 10CFR50.59 and 10CFR50.92 and determined that it does not constitute an unreviewed safety 1 question or a significant hazards consideration. The basis for this ,

I determination is provided below.

A Subsidiary of Ilouston Industries incorporated NL.88.126.01

Ilo,uston 1.ighting & Power Company ST-HL-AE-2664 File No.: G20.02.02 Page 2 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 nots (1) involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; (2) create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. HL&P has reviewed the proposed change and cetermined that:

1. The proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of a accident previously evaluated because deletion of the organization charts does not affect plant operation. General requirements have been added that capture the essential aspects of the organizational structure that are defined by the organization charts to be removed.

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 alteraticas of plant configuration or changes to setpoints or operating parameters are proposed.

3. The proposed amendment does not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety because of the admirdstrative nature of the hange and the addition of general requirements that capture the essential aspects of the organizational structure that are defined by existing onsite and offsite organization charts.

Based on the above discussion, HL&P has determined that the proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration. Additionally, based on the information contained in this submittal and the NRC Final Environmental Assessment f or STPEGS Units 1 and 2, HL&P has concluded that pursuant to 10CFR51, there are no significant radiological or nonradiologial impacts associated with the proposed action and the pr oposed licerse amendment will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment.

The STPEGS Unit ^ Nuclear Safety Review Board has reviewed and approved this proposed change.
