SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMEN 0 MENT NO.63 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-34 PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF COLORADO FORT ST. VRAIN NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION DOCKET N0. 50-267 1.0 IkTRODUCTION By letter dcted February 5, 1988, Public Service Company of Colorado (PSC) requested changes to the Adn'inistrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications for the Fort St. Vrain Nuclear Generating Station.
By letter dated May 24, 1988, the staff requested additional information regarding these changes. PSC responded by letter dated June 23, 1988.
The following sections contain a brief description and our evaluation of the requested changes.
2.0 EVALUATION 2.1 Section 7.1.1.0 - Training The position of Superintendent Training which reported to the Support Services Manager has been eliminated and the ne,v position of Nuclea" Training Panager has been created. The Nuclear Training Panager reports to the Vice President, Nuclear Operations and assunes respon-sibility for the training programs at FSV.
4 We find this requested change acceptable as it meets the acceptance criteria of Section 13.1 of NUREG-0800, the Standard Review Plan, 2.2 Section7.1.2.1-PlantOperationsReviewCommittee(PORC)
FSV has eliminated the positions of Health Physics Supervisor, Results Instrumentation and Controls (!&C) Surarvisor and Shift Supervisor Training from the PORC membership. Psalth Physics is now represented by the Support Services Manager. Results llc is represented by the Superintendent of Nuclear Bettertnent Engineering. Training is now represented by the Nuclear Training Manager.
We find this requested change acceptable as thers remains acequate multidisciplinary membership of the PORC and it meets the acceptance l
criteria of Section 13.4 of NUREG-0800.
2.3 Section 7.1.2.2 - Plant Operations Review Cennittee (PrRC)

We find this requested change acceptable as it is consistent with the Standard Technical Spec.ifications.
2.4 Section 7.1.2.3 - Plant Operations Review Comittee (PORC)
FSV has revised their requirement for convening PORC meetings to add that the PORC may be convened by the alternate PORC Chairman in addition to the PORC Chaint.an.
We find this requested change acceptable as it is consistent with the Standard Technical Specifications.
2.5 Section 7.1.2.5 - Plant Operations Review Connittee (PORC)
~
FSV has added to the FORC responsibilities, the review of procedures required by Technical Specification 7.4(d) which had been inadvertently omitted.
We find this requested change acceptable as it adds requirements to the responsibilities of the PPRC.
2.6 Figure 7.1 Fort St. Vrain Administrative and Departmental Management Organization Chart.
Figure 7.1-1 has been revised to add the new position of Nuclear Training Manager (See 1. above).
Fe find this requested change acceptable as described in 1. aboys.
2.7 Figure 7.1-2 Fort St. Vrain Conduct of Operations Chart FSV has eliminated the pocition of (1) Superintendent of Training, (2) Fesults I&C Supervisors. (3) Shif t Supervisor Training, &nd (4) Superintendent Scheduling Planning and Stores.
We find the elimination of th$ positions of Superintendent of Training and Shift Supervisor Training acceptable as the training function is now under the new position of Nuclear Training Manager (see 1. above). We find the elimination of the position of Superintendent Scheduling Planning and Stores acceptable as we do not require that function to be a part of Figure 7.1-2.
The functions of the Results 18C Supervisor will be fulfilled by the Superintendent of Nuclear Pettentent Engineering and for the Results Engineering Supervisor, both of whom are PORC members. We find the elimination of the Results 18C Supervisors acceptable.
2.8 Section 7.1.3.2 - Nuclear Facilities Safety Conenittee (NFSC)
PSC has revised the requirement for consultants to the NFSC by requirino their appointments to be in writing by the Vice President, Nuclear 6perations.
t

We find this requested change acceptable as it is more restrictive than the current Technical Specifications.
2.9 Section 7.4.b. - Procedures FSV has revised the provisions for review and approval of procedures to allow their review by a PORC subconinittee and subsequent approval by appropriate management prior to implementation. The licensee has clarified that the subcomittees will only perform a preliminary evaluation and make recorrendations to FORC.
Full PORC review and approval is still required.
We find this requested change acceptable since the Safety Evaluation for the change to the proceau es are reviewed by the PORC and the procedures are approved by a manager predesignated in writing by the Station Manager.
2.10 Section 7.4.C. - Temporary Changes to Procedures FSV has revised the provisions for the review and approval of temporary changes to procedures to allow the changes to be reviewed by a subcomittee of the PORC and subsequent apptoval by the appropriate management. Again, the licensee has clarified that the changes will be approved by the full PORC.

2.11 Miscellaneous FSV has revised the Technical Specifications to reflect several title changes and to correct some references (Section 7.1.2.1, Figure 7.1-1, Figurc 7.1-2, Sections 7.4-1 and 7.5-3).
These changes are:
a.

b.
The titles Fort St. Vrain Station Manager and Fort St. Vrain Technical / Administrative Services have been changed to Station Manager and Technical / Administrative Services, respectively.

d.
The submission of a routine monthly report to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, ATTH: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C.

We have reviewed these changes and consider them editorial in nature and, therefore, are acceptable.
