At present, due to the duplication of requirements for unit staff qualifications as specified in both the TS and in the OQAM, any changes to these requirements would require processing an OQAM change in accordance with paragraph (a) of 10 CFR 50.54, Conditions oflicenses, in addition to processing a license amendment per 10 CFR 50.90, Application for amendment oflicense, construction permit, or early site permit. The purpose ofthis amendment application is reduce regulatory burden by allowing any future changes to the qualification requirements for unit staff personnel to be made by appropriately revising the OQAM in accordance with 1 0 CFR 50.54(a). Evaluation of such changes pursuant to 1 0 CFR 50.54(a) will continue to ensure that NRC approval is sought when required.
