 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251]

Florida Power and Light Company; Notice of Issuance of Amendment 
to Renewed Facility Operating License and Final Determination of No 
Significant Hazards Consideration (TAC Nos. MD9229 and MD9330)

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) has 
issued Amendment Nos. 238 and 233 to Facility Operating License Nos. 
DPR-31 and DPR-41, respectively, issued to Florida Power and Light 
Company (the licensee), which revised the Technical Specifications 
(TSs) for operation of the Turkey Point Nuclear Plant, Units 3 and 4, 
located in Miami-Dade County, Florida. The amendment was effective as 
of the date of its issuance.
    These amendments remove the notes associated with License Amendment 
No. 221 regarding the inoperability of the Unit 4 Rod Position 
Indication (RPI) system for control rod F-8 in Shutdown Bank B, and the 
notes associated with Amendment No. 230 regarding the inoperability of 
the Unit 3 RPI system for control rod M-6 in Control Bank C. The RPI 
system for control rod F-8 was repaired during the Unit 4 Cycle 22 
refueling outage in spring 2005; thus, the associated TS License 
Amendment No. 221 revisions are no longer required. Similarly, the RPI 
system for control rod M-6 was repaired in June 2007; thus, the 
associated TS License Amendment No. 230 revisions are no longer 
required.
    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.

Register on July 29, 2008 (73 FR 43956). A request for a hearing was 
filed on August 18, 2008, by Thomas Saporito, President of Saporito 
Energy Consultants.
    Under its regulations, the Commission may issue and make an 
amendment immediately effective, notwithstanding the pendency before it 
of a request for a hearing from any person, in advance of the holding 
and completion of any required hearing, where it has determined that no 
significant hazards consideration is involved.
    The Commission has applied the standards of 10 CFR 50.92 and has 
made a final determination that the amendment involves no significant 
hazards consideration. The basis for this determination is contained in 
the Safety Evaluation related to this action. Accordingly, as described 
above, the amendment has been issued and made immediately effective and 
any hearing will be held after issuance.
    The Commission has determined that this amendment satisfies the 
criteria for categorical exclusion in accordance with 10 CFR 51.22. 
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact 
statement or environmental assessment need be prepared for this 
amendment.
