ML19042A117), Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC (the licensee) submitted a license amendment request to change the Technical Specifications (TSs) for the McGuire Nuclear Station (McGuire), Units 1 and 2. The amendments correct an editorial error in section 3.0, "SR [Surveillance Requirement] APPLICABILITY," specifically, SR 3.0.5.

The proposed amendments also revise TS 3.5.2, "ECCS [Emergency Core Cooling System] -

Operating," TS 3.6.6, "Containment Spray System," TS 3.7.5, "Auxiliary Feedwater (AFW)

System," TS 3.7.6, "Component Cooling Water (CCW) System," TS 3.7.7, "Nuclear Service Water System (NSWS)," TS 3.7.9, "Control Room Area Ventilation System (CRAVS)," TS 3.7.11, "Auxiliary Building Filtered Ventilation Exhaust System (ABFVES)," TS 3.8.1, "AC

[Alternating Current] Sources - Operating," and TS 3.8.4, "DC [Direct Current] Sources -

Operating" to remove expired TS footnotes.

2.0 REGULATORY EVALUATION

2.1 Licensee's Proposed Changes Current TS SR 3.0.5 is as follows:

Surveillance Requirements shall apply to each unit individually unless otherwise indicated as stated in LCO [limiting condition for operation] 3.0.8 for individual Specifications or whenever certain portions of a Specification contain surveillance parameters different for each unit, which will identified by parentheses or footnotes.

Enclosure 3

The licensee proposed to revise TS SR 3.0.5 as follows:

Surveillance Requirements shall apply to each unit individually unless otherwise indicated as stated in LCO 3.0.9 for individual Specifications or whenever certain portions of a Specification contain surveillance parameters different for each unit, which will identified by parentheses or footnotes.

2.2 Applicable Regulations and Guidance In Title 1O of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 50.36, the Commission established its regulatory requirements related to the content of TSs. Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36, TS are required to include items in the following five specific categories related to station operation:

(1) safety limits, limiting safety system settings, and limiting control settings; (2) LCOs; (3) Surveillance Requirements (SRs); (4) design features; and (5) administrative controls.

3.0 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

3.1 Change to SR 3.0.5 By letter dated March 29, 2007 (ADAMS Accession Package No. ML063100507), the NRC approved license Amendment Nos. 238 and 220, which added a new TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 3.0.8. The existing TS LCO 3.0.8 at that time was renumbered to TS LCO 3.0.9. However, the licensee inadvertently failed to provide the corresponding change to SR 3.0.5, which referenced the old TS LCO 3.0.8 (now TS LCO 3.0.9).

The proposed change to SR 3.0.5 would correct an editorial error and correct the reference LCO 3.0.8 (which should be LCO 3.0.9) in SR 3.0.5. The addition of LCO 3.0.8 was inserted as part of NRG-approved license amendments. The licensee inadvertently failed to provide the corresponding change to SR 3.0.5, and the NRC staff concludes that the proposed change corrects the editorial oversight and is, therefore, acceptable.

3.2 Deletion of TS Footnotes By letter dated September 10, 2014 (ADAM Accession No. ML14231A634), the NRC approved license Amendment Nos. 27 4 and 254, which allowed temporary changes for TS 3.8.4.

Specifically, the license amendments added a TS footnote which allowed a one-time extension to the CT for Required Action 2.2, to support replacement of the existing shared 125 Vdc vital batteries. The TS footnote expired on December 31, 2016. The NRC staff concludes that removal of the expired footnote is administrative in nature and is, therefore, acceptable.

By letter dated February 3, 2016 (ADAM Accession No. ML16004A352), the NRC approved license Amendment No. 281 for McGuire, Unit 1, which allowed temporary changes for TS 3.5.2. Specifically, the license amendments added a TS footnote which allowed a one-time extension to the Completion Time (CT) of Required Action A.1 to support maintenance on Residual Heat Removal (RHR) air handler unit 1A. The TS footnote associated with the one-time extension to the CT of Required Action A.1 to support maintenance on RHR air handler

unit 1A expired on March 31, 2016. The NRC staff concludes that removal of the expired footnote is acceptable.

By letter dated February 5, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18030A682), the NRC approved license Amendment Nos. 308 and 287, which allowed temporary changes for TS 3.5.2, 3.6.6, 3.7.5, 3.7.6, 3.7.7, 3.7.9, 3.7.11, and 3.8.1. Specifically, the license amendments added a TS footnote to the subject TSs which permitted the 'A' Train of NSWS to be inoperable for a total of 14 days to address a non-conforming condition on the NSWS 'A' Train supply piping from the Standby Nuclear Service Water Pond (SNSWP). The TS footnote expired on March 31, 2019.

The NRC staff concludes that removal of the expired footnotes is an administrative change and is, therefore, acceptable.

The proposed changes to TSs 3.5.2, 3.6.6, 3.7.5, 3.7.6, 3.7.7, 3.7.9, 3.7.11, 3.8.1 and 3.8.4 would remove temporary TS footnotes which were inserted as part of NRG-approved license amendments. The TS footnotes have expired; therefore, the NRC staff concludes the removal of TS footnotes TSs 3.5.2, 3.6.6, 3.7.5, 3.7.6, 3.7.7, 3.7.9, 3.7.11, 3.8.1 and 3.8.4 is acceptable.

3.3 NRC Staff Conclusion

The NRC staff finds that the proposed changes to TS 3.5.2, 3.6.6, 3.7.5, 3.7.6, 3.7.7, 3.7.9, 3.7.11, 3.8.1 and 3.8.4 and SR 3.0.5 are administrative changes which are non-technical in nature.

The NRC staff concludes that with the deletion of the expired TS footnotes in TSs 3.5.2, 3.6.6, 3.7.5, 3. 7.6, 3. 7. 7, 3. 7.9, 3.7.11, 3.8.1 and 3.8.4 and the correction of the editorial error in SR 3.0.5, McGuire, Units 1 and 2, continue to meet the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36 and is, therefore, the proposed changes are acceptable.

4.0 STATE CONSULTATION

In accordance with the Commission's regulations, the NRC staff notified the North Carolina State official of the proposed issuance of the amendments on July 2, 2019 (ADAMS Accession No. ML19183A476). The NRC staff confirmed on July 3, 2019, that the North Carolina State official had no comments.

5.0 PUBLIC COMMENTS On April 23, 2019 the NRC staff published a "Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses, Proposed No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination, and Opportunity for a Hearing," in the Federal Register, regarding the license amendment request (84 FR 16893). In accordance with the requirements in 10 CFR 50.91, the notice provided a 30-day period for public comment on the proposed no significant hazards consideration determination. One comment from a member of the public was received, however it was not related to the no significant hazards consideration determination nor the LAR. The comment can be found at www.regulations.gov, reference NRC-2019-0099-0002.

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

The amendments change a requirement with respect to the installation or use of facility components located within the restricted area as defined in 10 CFR Part 20 and change inspections or SRs. The NRC staff has determined that the amendments involve no significant

increase in the amounts and no significant change in the types of any effluents that may be released offsite and that there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. The Commission has previously issued a proposed finding that the amendments involve no significant hazards consideration, and there was one public comment on this finding, however it was not related to the no significant hazards consideration determination nor the license amendment request (84 FR 16893; April 23, 2019). Accordingly, the amendments meet the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the issuance of the amendments.

6.0 CONCLUSION

The Commission has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that: (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) there is reasonable assurance that such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.
