T License Nos. DPR-44 Dock:t Nos. 50-277 DPR 56 50-278 Introduction l
On February 12,1999 PECO Energy Company (PECO Energy), Licensee under Facility Operating License DPR-44 for the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Unit 2, and DPR-56 for PBAPS, Unit 3, submitted a request to amend the Technical Specifications (TS) contained in Appendix A to the Operating iMenses to provide for an administrative change to correct several i
typographical errors in the '" This License Change Application provided a discussion and description of the proposed a nges, a safety assessment, inforrnation supporting a finding of No Significant Hazards Consideration, and information supporting an Environmental Assessment.
Marked up pages indicating the proposed changes were provided in Attachment 2 of that letter.
Based on additional discussions between PECO Energy and the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC) Project Manager, additional information was requested by the USNRC to support the Environmental Assessment of the proposed changes. Below is the additional requested information.
Summary Description of the Proposed Chanoes The proposed changes are all corrections to existing typographical errors in the TS. Each proposed change has been verified to meet the intent of what was originally proposed by PECO Energy and approved by the NRC in previously processed amendments to the TS. These changes are purely administrative and do not impact the operation of the facility.
The proposed changes are summarized below.
1.
Correct the labels for the Site Boundary and Exclusion Area Boundary on the Unit 2 and Unit 3 TS Figures 4.1-1 by reversing the labels.
- 2. Correct the note by replacing the word 'on" with the word *or" in the Unit 3 TS Surveillance Requirement SR 3.3.1.2.5.
- 3. Correct the note above TS SR 3.8.4.1 by replacing "SR 3.8.1.9' with *SR 3.8.4.9' in the Unit 3 TS Section 3.8.4.
Information Supportino an Environmental Assessment in accordance with 10 CFR 51.41, a review was performed to determine the impact of the proposed changes on the conclusions of the NRC's Final Environmental Statement for PBAPS.
The considerations included in 10 CFR 51.45(b) were used in this review with the following conclusions.
Since these changes are administrative only and there are no changes to the existing requirements, implementation of the proposed changes has no impact on the environment. Since there is no impact on the environment, there are no adverse environmental effects that cannot be avoided.
Since these changes are required to eliminate errors and to achieve consistency with the approved licensing basis and there is no impact on the operation of the facility nor on the environment, there are no alternatives to the proposed changes. Since the operation of the facility is not affected by the proposed changes, there is no impact on the original assessment of the relationship between local short-term uses of man's environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long-term j
productivity. Since the operation of the facility is unaffected by the proposed changes, there is no change to the commitment of resources and therefore, no irreversible nor irretrievable commitment of resources involved.
