of NMP–2 to the currently licensed

power level. Denial of the amendment

would prevent the facility from

generating the approximately additional

45 MWe that is obtainable from the

existing plant.

Alternative Use of Resources

This action does not involve the use

of any resources not previously

considered in the ‘‘Final Environmental

Statement related to the operation of

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit

No. 2,’’ dated May 1985.

Agencies and Persons Consulted

The Commission’s staff reviewed the

licensee’s request and consulted with

the New York State official regarding

the environmental impact of the

proposed action. The State official had

no comment regarding the NRC’s

proposed action.

Finding of No Significant Impact

Based upon the foregoing

environmental assessment, the

Commission concludes that the

proposed action will not have a

significant effect on the quality of the

human environment.

Accordingly, the Commission has

determined not to prepare an

environmental impact statement for the

proposed license amendment.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendment dated July 22, 1993, as

supplemented January 9, 1995. These

documents are available for public

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room, The Gelman Building,

FOIA User Conference

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public conference.

SUMMARY: The NRC will hold a Freedom

of Information Act (FOIA) Users

Conference as a part of its renewed

commitment to improving openness and

responsiveness to the public. The

purpose of the conference will be to

open communications between NRC

and its FOIA user community, to

explain alternatives for access to NRC

information, and to obtain FOIA users’

views for improving the process.

DATES: The meeting will be held on

Thursday, March 23, 1995, from 9:30

a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

ADDRESSES: Conference Room T–6 A1 of

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Two White Flint North,

11545 Rockville Pike, Rockville,

Maryland 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ms. Gigi Rammling, Office of

Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission, Washington DC 20055–

0001. Telephone (301) 415–7090.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

general public is invited to participate,

particularly those who contemplate the

need to obtain information from the

NRC in the future. Invitations have been

sent directly to some frequent and more

recent NRC FOIA requesters. However,

because of limited seating, advance

reservations will be required.

Reservations may be made by

contacting Ms. Gigi Rammling at 301/

415–7090. Those requiring special

accommodations should contact Ms.

Rammling no later than Monday, March

13, 1995.

Agenda

The agenda for the meeting will

include the following:

(1) Overview of FOIA requirements;

(2) NRC’s openness policy and current

practices;

(3) Overview of NRC processing

procedures;

(4) Question/Answer Session.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 27th day

of February 1995.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–M

[Docket No. 50–261]

Carolina Power & Light Company;

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendment to Facility Operating

License, Proposed No Significant

Hazards Consideration Determination,

and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of an amendment

to Facility Operating License No. DPR–

23 issued to Carolina Power & Light

Company (the licensee) for operation of

the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant,

Unit No. 2, located in Darlington

County, South Carolina.

The proposed amendment would

increase the degraded grid voltage relay

(DGVR) setpoint to comply with revised

voltage criteria established by Carolina

Power & Light Company’s alternating

current auxiliary electrical distribution

system voltage/load flow/fault current

study. The DGVR setpoint will be

changed from 415 plus or minus 4 volts

to 430 plus or minus 4 volts. The

revised criteria would provide a voltage

setting such that continuous duty,

safety-related motors will not be

allowed to operate at terminal voltages

below the voltage required for proper

operation for periods of time greater

than the time delay setting of the DGVR.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendment, the Commission

will have made findings required by the

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended

(the Act) and the Commission’s

regulations.

The Commission has made a

proposed determination that the

amendment request involves no

significant hazards consideration. Under

the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR

50.92, this means that operation of the

facility in accordance with the proposed

amendment would not (1) involve a

significant increase in the probability or

consequences of an accident previously

evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from

any accident previously evaluated; or

(3) involve a significant reduction in a

margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR

50.91(a), the licensee has provided its

analysis of the issue of no significant

hazards consideration, which is

presented below:

1. The proposed amendment does not

involve a significant increase in the

probability or consequences of an accident

previously evaluated.

The increase in the DGVR setpoint will

prevent motor operation at terminal voltages

below which motor overheating and possible

life reduction could occur, due to sustained

offsite power degradation under the design

basis plant operating scenario. The new

setting ensures that the emergency buses are

transferred to their respective diesel

generators at offsite power voltage levels

higher than allowed by the existing setting.

Analysis has determined that the new DGVR

setting will not result in unnecessary offsite

power separations, due to motor starting

transients, during normal power operation or

postulated accident conditions.

The function of the DGVR remains

unchanged. The design configuration of the

DGVR circuit remains unchanged. The

proposed amendment will increase the

minimum voltage available at the safety
