SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING AMENDMENT NO.105 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. DPR-59 POWER AUTHORITY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET N0. 50-333
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By letter dated July 11, 1986, the Power Authority of the State of New York (PASNY/ licensee) submitted proposed changes to the Administrative Controls Section of the Technical Specifications (TS) for James A.
FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. Specifically, the proposed changes requested by the licensee involve a management reorganization of the licensee's headquarters staff.
2.0 EVAll'ATION 2.1 Proposed Change to Figure 6.1-1 The licensee proposed the following changes to Figure 6.1-1 of the FitzPatrick TS.
The Department of Quality Assurance and Reliability has been changed to the Department of Appraisal and Compliance Services.
In addition, the title of the Vice President of Quality Assurance and Reliability has been changed to Senior Vice President - Appraisal and Compliance Services. The Department of Appraisal and Compliance Services will retain all functions of the former Department except for the functions of Reliability Services. These functions have now been assigned to the Department of Engineering and Design.
It is appropriate that Reliability Services report through engineering since engineering and purchase standards are set in this area.
The Director of Safety and Fire Protection who previously reported to the Vice President - Quality Assurance and Reliability, now reports to the new position of Director of Security, Safety and i
Fire Protection. The only change for the Director of the Safety and Fire Protection is in reporting responsibility. He now reports to the new position of Director of Security, Safety and Fire Protection.
