Facility Operating License

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (Commission) has issued

Amendment No. 176 to Facility

Operating License No. DPR–23 issued to

Carolina Power & Light Company (the

licensee), which revised the operating

license and Appendices A and B to the

operating license for the H.B. Robinson

Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 (HBR),

located in Darlington County, South

Carolina. The amendment is effective as

of the date of issuance.

The amendment implements a full

conversion of the HBR Technical

Specifications (TS) to a set of TS based

upon NUREG–1431, ‘‘Standard

Technical Specifications Westinghouse

Plants,’’ Revision 0, dated September

1992 (including travellers used in the

issuance of Revision 1, dated April

1995).

The application for the amendment

complies with the standards and

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the

Commission’s rules and regulations.

The Commission has made appropriate

findings as required by the Act and the

Commission’s rules and regulations in

10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in

the license amendment.

request for a hearing or petition for

leave to intervene was filed following

this notice.

The Commission has prepared an

Environmental Assessment related to

the action and has determined not to

prepare an environmental impact

statement. Based upon the

environmental assessment, the

Commission has concluded that the

issuance of the amendment will not

pumps to be tested on a periodic basis

and after modifications that alter

subsystem flow characteristics. The

proposed amendment would have made

changes to these surveillance

requirements.

The Commission had previously

issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in

(62 FR 30635). However, by letter dated

Compliance GDP–2 for the U.S.

Enrichment Corporation, Portsmouth

Gaseous Diffusion Plant, Portsmouth,

The Director, Office of Nuclear

Material Safety and Safeguards, has

made a determination that the following

amendment request is not significant in

accordance with 10 CFR 76.45. In

making that determination, the staff

concluded that: (1) there is no change in

the types or significant increase in the

amounts of any effluents that may be

released offsite; (2) there is no

significant increase in individual or

cumulative occupational radiation

exposure; (3) there is no significant

construction impact; (4) there is no

significant increase in the potential for,

or radiological or chemical

consequences from, previously analyzed

accidents; (5) the proposed changes do

not result in the possibility of a new or

different kind of accident; (6) there is no

significant reduction in any margin of

safety; and (7) the proposed changes

will not result in an overall decrease in

the effectiveness of the plant’s safety,

safeguards, or security programs. The
