1.0 DESCRIPTION

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.90, Entergy Operations, Inc. and Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc.

(Entergy) hereby request amendments to the Technical Specifications for the nuclear power plant licenses identified in Section 2.0.

The proposed amendment would delete those portions of the Technical Specifications superseded by 10 CFR 26, Subpart I (Reference 7.1). This change is consistent with NRC approved Revision 0 to Technical Specification Task Force (TSTF) Improved Standard Technical Specification Change Traveler, TSTF-51 1, "Eliminate Working Hour Restrictions from TS 5.2.2 to Support Compliance with 10 CFR Part 26" (Reference 7.2). The availability of this Technical Specification improvement was announced in the Federal Register on December 30, 2008 (Reference 7.3) as part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP).

2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE

S Consistent with the NRC approved Revision 0 of TSTF-51 1, the proposed Technical Specification changes delete those portions of Technical Specifications superseded by 10 CFR 26, Subpart I. This application is being made in accordance with the CLIIP. Entergy is not proposing variations or deviations from the Technical Specification changes described in TSTF-511, Revision 0, or the NRC staff's model safety evaluation (SE) published on December 30, 2008 as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability. The following table identifies the relevant plant-specific Technical Specification sections that are to be deleted based on TSTF-51 1.

ENOC-09-00009 Attachment One Page 2 of 5

3.0 BACKGROUND

The NRC issued a Federal Register notice (Reference 7.1) regarding the issuance of a final rule that amended 10 CFR 26. The revised regulations in 10 CFR 26, Subpart I supersede working hour restrictions contained in plant-specific Technical Specification sections listed in Section 2.0. The background for this application is addressed by the NRC Notice of Availability published on December 30, 2008 (Reference 7.3).

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Entergy has reviewed the SE published on December 30, 2008 (Reference 7.3) as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability. Entergy has concluded that the technical justifications presented in the SE prepared by the NRC staff are applicable to the operating power reactors listed in Section 2.0.

10 CFR 26, Subpart I, supersedes existing worker fatigue guidance. 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, distinguishes between work hour controls and fatigue management and strengthens the requirements for both. Under the new rule, work hour restrictions include not only work hour limitations for rolling 24-hour, 48-hour, and 7-day periods, but also include a required minimum break between work periods and varying required minimum days off. Additionally, Subpart I confines the use of waivers (deviations from restrictions) to situations where overtime is necessary to mitigate or prevent a condition adverse to safety or necessary to maintain the security of the facility. Subpart I also strengthens reporting requirements. Finally, the new rule's work hour control scope includes certain operating and maintenance personnel, as well as individuals directing those operating and maintenance personnel, health physics and chemistry personnel who are a part of the on-site emergency response organization minimum shift complement, the fire brigade member who is responsible for understanding the effects of fire and fire suppressants-on safe shutdown capability, and certain security personnel.

The proposed change removes working hour limits imposed irnthe Technical Specifications in order to support compliance with 10 CFR 26, Subpart I. Work hour controls and fatigue management requirements have been incorporated into the NRC's regulations; therefore, it is unnecessary to have work hour control requirements in the Technical Specifications. Removal of the Technical Specification requirements will be performed concurrently with the implementation of the 10.CFR 26, Subpart I, requirements, even if the Technical Specification change is implemented prior to the October 1,2009 deadline. Along with this LAR, Entergy is submitting commitments for each affected docket (Attachment Four) to comply with 10 CFR 26 concurrently with the implementation of the Technical Specification change.

5.0 REGULATORY SAFETY ANALYSIS 5.1 NO SIGNIFICANTS HAZARDS DETERMINATION Entergy hasreviewed the no significant hazards determination published on December 30, 2008 (73 FR 79923) as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability. Entergy has concluded that the determination presented in the notice is applicable to the operating power reactors listed below.

ENOC-09-00009 Attachment One Page 3 of 5 Facility Name Docket Arkansas Nuclear One - Unit One 05000313 Arkansas Nuclear One - Unit Two 05000368 Grand Gulf Nuclear Station 05000416 Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 2 05000247 Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit 3 05000286 James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant 05000333 Palisades Nuclear Plant 05000255 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station 05000293 River Bend Station 05000458 Waterford Steam Electric Station - Unit 3 05000382 Entergy has evaluated the proposed changes to the Technical Specifications using the criteria in 10 CFR 50.92 and has determined that the proposed changes do not involve a significant hazards consideration. An analysis of the issue of no significant hazards consideration is presented below: I Criterion 1: The Proposed Change Does Not Involve a Significant Increase in the Probability or Consequences of an Accident Previously Evaluated The proposed change removes Technical Specification restrictions on working hours for personnel who perform safety related functions. The Technical Specification restrictions are superseded by the worker fatigue requirements in 10 CFR 26. Removal of the Technical Specification requirements will be performed concurrently with the implementation of the 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, requirements. The proposed change does not impact the physical configuration or function of plant structures, systems, or components (SSCs) or the manner in which SSCs are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. Worker fatigue is not an initiator of any accident previously evaluated. Worker fatigue is not an assumption in the consequence mitigation of any accident previously evaluated.

Therefore, it is concluded that this change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Criterion,2: The Proposed Change Does Not Create the Possibility of a New or Different Kind of Accident From Any Accident Previously Evaluated The proposed change removes Technical Specification restrictions on working hours for personnel who perform safety related functions. The Technical Specification restrictions are

ENOC-09-00009 Attachment One Page 4 of 5.

superseded by the worker fatigue requirements in 10 CFR 26. Working hours will continue to be controlled in accordance with NRC requirements. The new rule allows for deviations from controls to mitigate or prevent a condition adverse to safety or as necessary to maintain the security of the facility. This ensures that the new rule will not unnecessarily restrict working hours and thereby create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed change does not alter the plant configuration, require new plant equipment to be installed, alter accident analysis assumptions, add any initiators, or effect the function of plant systems or the manner in which systems are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected.

Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated.

Criterion 3: The Proposed Change Does Not Involve a Significant Reduction in a Margin of Safety The proposed change removes Technical Specification restrictions on working hours for personnel who perform safety related functions. The Technical Specification restrictions are superseded by the worker fatigue requirements in 10 CFR 26. The proposed change does not involve any physical changes to plant or alter the manner in which plant systems are operated, maintained, modified, tested, or inspected. The proposed change does not alter the manner in which safety limits, limiting safety system settings or limiting conditions for operation are determined. The safety analysis acceptance criteria are not affected by this change. The proposed change will not result in plant operation in a configuration outside the design basis. The proposed change does not adversely affect systems that respond to safely shutdown the plant and to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition. Removal of plant-specific Technical Specificationadministrative requirements will not reduce a margin of safety because the requirements in 10 CFR 26 are adequate to ensure that worker fatigue is managed.

Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

Based on the above, Entergy concludes that the proposed change presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

5.2 -APPLICABLE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS / CRITERIA A description of the proposed Technical Specification change and its relationship to applicable regulatory requirements was provided in the NRC Notice of Availability published on December 30, 2008. Entergy has reviewed the NRC staff's model SE published on December 30, 2008 as part of the CLIIP Notice of Availability and concluded that the regulatory evaluation section is applicable to the operating power reactors listed in Section 5.1 of this License Amendment Request. The proposed change eliminates the plant-specific Technical Specification administrative controls on working hours. The Technical Specification guidance has been superseded by 10 CFR 26. Subpart I of 10 CFR 26, "Managing Fatigue," contains

ENOC-09-00009 Attachment One Page 5 of 5 requirements for managing worker fatigue at operating nuclear power plants. 10 CFR 50.36 provides, among other things, the regulatory requirements for the content in the Administrative Controls section of the Technical Specifications. The inclusion of requirements to control working hours and manage fatigue is not required to be in the Administrative Controls by 10 CFR 50.36. Because the requirement to control working hours and manage fatigue is provided in 10 CFR 26, Subpart I, it is unnecessary for the Technical Specifications to contain similar controls.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

Entergy has reviewed the environmental evaluation included in the safety evaluation (SE) published on December 30, 2008 as partof the CLIIP Notice of Availability. Entergy has concluded that the staff's findings presented in that evaluation are applicable to the operating power reactors listed in Section 5.1 of this License Amendment Request.

The proposed amendment changes recordkeeping, reporting, or administrative procedures.

Accordingly, the amendment meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(10). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b) no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendment.
