Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 47 / Tuesday, March 11, 1997 / Notices 11231

The amendment is effective as of the

date of issuance.

The amendment replaces, in their

entirety, the current technical

based on NUREG–1434, ‘‘Standard

Technical Specifications, General

Electric BWR/6 Plants,’’ Revision 1,

April 1995. In addition, the amendment

adds a new license condition 2.C.(30)

reflecting the licensee’s commitments

regarding relocation of TS requirements

to licensee-controlled documents and

the implementation of Regulatory Guide

1.160. The amendment also adds an

Appendix C listing those commitments.

The amendment also deletes license

condition 2.C.(18)(c) which had

required the licensee to provide, prior to

startup from the first refueling outage,

TS for the bypass timer setting and

manual inhibit switch of the automatic

depressurization system.

The application for the amendment

complies with the standards and

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act

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

The Commission has made appropriate

findings as required by the Act and the

the license amendment.
