15944 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 28, 1995 / Notices

(CLI–94–14) of September 2, 1994, the

Rancho Seco decommissioning plan is

approved and decommissioning of the

Rancho Seco Nuclear Generating Station

is authorized subject to the following

conditions:

(A) The licensee shall update both the

decommissioning plan and the final Safety

Analysis Report (FSAR), currently entitled

‘‘Defueled Safety Analysis Report’’ or DSAR

by the Rancho Seco licensee, in accordance

with the methodology specified in 10 CFR

50.71(e), except that the frequency of updates

shall be at least every 2 years. With respect

to changes to the facility or procedures

described in the updated FSAR/DSAR or

changes to the Decommissioning Plan, and

the conduct of tests and experiments not

described in the FSAR/DSAR, the provisions

of 10 CFR 50.59 shall apply.

(B) The licensee shall maintain a fire

protection program to address the potential

for fires which could result in a nuclear

hazard, i.e., cause the release or loss of

control of radioactive materials. The

objectives of the fire protection program are

to: (1) Reasonably prevent such fires from

occurring; (2) rapidly detect, control, and

extinguish those fires which do occur; and

(3) ensure that the potential hazard due to

fire to the public, environment, and plant

personnel is small. The fire protection

program shall be assessed by the licensee on

a regular basis and revised as appropriate

throughout the various stages of facility

decommissioning. The licensee may make

changes to the fire protection program

without NRC approval if the changes do not

reduce the effectiveness of fire protection

measures needed to prevent a nuclear hazard

at the Rancho Seco facility, taking into

account the decommissioning plant

conditions and activities.

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.30, and

51.35, the Commission has prepared an

Environmental Assessment and Finding

of No Significant Impact for the

proposed action. Based on that

assessment, the Commission has

determined that the proposed action

will not result in any significant impact

on the quality of the human

environment and that an environmental

impact statement needed not be

prepared. The Notice of Issuance of

Environmental Assessment and Finding

of No Significant Impact was published

in the Federal Register on June 23, 1993

(58 FR 34065). Comments were received

from ECO and are addressed in the

supplemental safety evaluation issued

concurrently with this Order.

For further details with respect to this

action, see: (1) The application for

authorization to decommission the

facility, of May 20, 1991, as

supplemented April 15, August 6,

August 31, 1992, January 7, April 7,

April 19, 1993, March 23, April 28, July

26, and October 26, 1994; (2) the related

Commission safety evaluations dated

June 16, 1993 and March 20, 1995; and

Finding of No Significant Impact of June

16, 1993. These documents are available

[Docket No. 50–206]

Southern California Edison Co., et al.;

San Onofre Nuclear Generating

Station, Unit No. 1

Notice is hereby given that the United

States Nuclear Regulatory Commission

(the Commission) is reviewing the

proposed corporate restructuring of San

Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E),

one of the co-owners of San Onofre

Nuclear Generating Station, Unit 1. By

letter dated November 15, 1994, Richard

A. Meserve of Covington & Burling,

Counsel for SDG&E, informed the

Commission that a corporate

restructuring of SDG&E has been

proposed that will result in the creation

of a holding company under the

temporary name SDO Parent Co., Inc.

(‘‘Parent Company’’) of which SDG&E

would become a subsidiary. Under the

restructuring, the holders of SDG&E

common stock will become the holders

of common stock of the Parent Company

on a share-by-share basis. After the

restructuring, SDG&E will continue to

be a public utility providing the same

utility services as it did immediately

prior to the reorganization. SDG&E will

continue to be a licensee of the San

Onofre units, and no transfer of the

operating licenses or interests in the

units will result from the restructuring.

Control of the operating licenses for the

San Onofre units, now held by SDG&E

and its co-owners, will remain with

SDG&E and the same owners and will

not be affected by the restructuring.

Dated at Rockville, MD, this 20th day of

March 1995.

[Docket No. 50–286]

Power Authority of the State of New

York; Environmental Assessment and

Finding of No Significant Impact

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an exemption

from the requirements of 10 CFR Part

50, Appendix R, ‘‘Fire Protection

Program for Nuclear Power Facilities

Operating Prior To January 1, 1979,’’

Section III.J, to the Power Authority of

the State of New York (the licensee) for

the Indian Point Nuclear Generating

Unit No. 3 (IP3), located at the licensee’s

site in Westchester County, New York.

This exemption would be a

modification of an exemption which has

been previously issued on January 7,

1987.

Environmental Assessment

Identification of Proposed Action

Section III.J of 10 CFR Part 50,

Appendix R, requires that emergency

lighting units with at least an 8-hour

battery power supply shall be provided

in all areas needed for operation of safe

shutdown equipment and in access and

egress routes thereto.

During a programmatic review of

Appendix R compliance strategy at

Indian Point Nuclear Generating Unit

No. 3 (IP3), the licensee identified that

certain additional operator actions,

which had not been included in the

previous Appendix R compliance

strategy, are needed. These additional

operator actions are needed in the

outside yard area at the condensate

storage tank (RWST), and backup

service water pump platform.

By letter dated January 7, 1987, the

NRC previously approved an exemption

from the emergency lighting

requirements of Appendix R, Section

III.J to allow the use of security lighting

for access and egress to the Appendix R

diesel generator which is also located in

the outside yard. The license has,

therefore, requested a modification to

the exemption which was previously

issued by the NRC on January 7, 1987,

to extend the use of security lighting in

the outside yard to include the CST,
