BILLING CODE 7590–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–410] 

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC, 

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 

No. 2; 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. NPF– 

69 issued to Nine Mile Point Nuclear 

Station, LLC (NMPNS, or the licensee) 

for operation of the Nine Mile Point 

Nuclear Station, Unit No. 2 located in 

Oswego, New York. 

The proposed amendment would 

modify Technical Specification (TS) 

3.7.3, ‘‘Control Room Envelope Air 

Conditioning (AC) System,’’ by adding 

an Action Statement to the Limiting 

Conditions for Operation. The new 

Action Statement allows a finite time to 

restore one control room envelope AC 

subsystem to operable status and 

requires verification that the control 

room temperature remains < 90 °F every 

4 hours. In its application dated July 30, 

2007, the licensee submitted its 

proposed changes as being applicable to 

the model Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC)-approved TS Task 

Force (TSTF) TSTF–477, Revision 3, 

‘‘Adding an Action Statement for Two 

Inoperable Control Room Air 

Conditioning Subsystems.’’ The 

availability of this TS improvement was 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 26, 2007 (72 FR 14143), as part 

of the consolidated line item 

improvement process. By letter dated 

September 8, 2008, the licensee 

provided administrative changes to its 

proposed TSs and a supplemental No 

Significant Hazards Consideration 

determination as shown below. 

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 Title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), Section 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. Does the proposed amendment involve 

a significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

The proposed changes administratively 

revise the wording of TS 3.7.3, ‘‘Control 

Room Air Conditioning (AC) System,’’ and 

do not change Actions or associated 

Completion Times currently included in the 

TS (as modified by TSTF–477–A). They do 

not impact any accident initiators, the ability 

to mitigate previously evaluated accidents, or 

the assumptions used in evaluating the 

radiological consequences of previously 

evaluated accidents. The proposed changes 

do not involve the addition or removal of any 

equipment, or any design changes to the 

facility. 

Therefore, the proposed changes do not 

involve a significant increase in the 

probability or consequences of an accident 

previously evaluated. 

2. Does the proposed amendment create 

the possibility of a new or different kind of 

accident from any accident previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

The proposed changes administratively 

revise the wording of TS 3.7.3, ‘‘Control 

Room Air Conditioning (AC) System,’’ and 

do not change Actions or associated 

Completion Times currently included in the 

TS (as modified by TSTF–477–A). They do 

not involve a modification to the physical 

configuration of the plant (i.e., no new 

equipment will be installed) or involve a 

change in the methods governing normal 

plant operation. The proposed changes will 

not impose any new or different 

requirements or introduce a new accident 

initiator, accident precursor, or failure 

mechanism. 

Therefore, the proposed changes do not 

create the possibility of a new or different 

kind of accident from any accident 

previously evaluated. 

3. Does the proposed amendment involve 

a significant reduction in a margin of safety? 

Response: No. 

The proposed TS changes are 

administrative in nature. They do not involve 

a modification to the physical configuration 

of the plant (i.e., no new equipment will be 

installed) or change the methods governing 

normal plant operation. The proposed 

changes do not modify the safety limits or 

setpoints at which protective actions are 

initiated, and do not change the requirements 

governing operation or availability of safety 

equipment assumed to operate to preserve 

margins of safety. 

Therefore, the proposed changes do not 

involve a significant reduction in a margin of 

safety.
