available from other sources. They

specify the basic hourly wage rates and

fringe benefits which are determined to

be prevailing for the described classes of

laborers and mechanics employed on

construction projects of a similar

character and in the localities specified

therein.

The determinations in these decisions

of prevailing rates and fringe benefits

have been made in accordance with 29

CFR Part 1, by authority of the Secretary

of Labor pursuant to the provisions of

the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931,

as amended (46 Stat. 1494, as amended,

40 U.S.C. 276a) and of other Federal

statutes referred to in 29 CFR Part 1,

Appendix, as well as such additional

statutes as may from time to time be

enacted containing provisions for the

payment of wages determined to be

prevailing by the Secretary of Labor in

accordance with the Davis-Bacon Act.

The prevailing rates and fringe benefits

determined in these decisions shall, in

accordance with the provisions of the

foregoing statutes, constitute the

minimum wages payable on Federal and

federally assisted construction projects

to laborers and mechanics of the

specified classes engaged on contract

work of the character and in the

localities described therein.

Good cause is hereby found for not

utilizing notice and public comment

procedure thereon prior to the issuance

of these determinations as prescribed in

5 U.S.C. 553 and not providing for delay

in the effective date as prescribed in that

section, because the necessity to issue

current construction industry wage

determinations frequently and in large

volume causes procedures to be

impractical and contrary to the public

interest.

General wage determination

decisions, and modifications and

supersedes decisions thereto, contain no

expiration dates and are effective from

their date of notice in the Federal

Register, or on the date written notice

is received by the agency, whichever is

earlier. These decisions are to be used

in accordance with the provisions of 29

CFR Parts 1 and 5. Accordingly, the

applicable decision, together with any

modifications issued, must be made a

part of every contract for performance of

the described work within the

geographic area indicated as required by

an applicable Federal prevailing wage

law and 29 CFR Part 5. The wage rates

and fringe benefits, notice of which is

published herein, and which are

contained in the Government Printing

Office (GPO) document entitled

‘‘General Wage Determinations Issued

Under The Davis-Bacon And Related

Acts,’’ shall be the minimum paid by

contractors and subcontractors to

laborers and mechanics.

Any person, organization, or

governmental agency having an interest

in the rates determined as prevailing is

encouraged to submit wage rate and

fringe benefit information for

consideration by the Department.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–338 and 50–339]

Virginia Electric and Power Company;

Notice of Consideration of Issuance of

Amendments to Facility Operating

Licenses, Proposed No Significant

Hazards Consideration, Determination,

and Opportunity for a Hearing

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) is

considering issuance of amendments to

Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–4

and NPF–7 issued to Virginia Electric

and Power Company for operation of the

North Anna Power Station, Units 1 and

2, located in Louisa County, Virginia.

The proposed amendments would

revise Technical Specifications (TS)

Figures 3.4–2 and 3.4–3, and associated

Bases, by modifying the reactor coolant

system (RCS) pressure/temperature (P/

T) limit curves. In addition, these

amendments would extend the

cumulative core burnup applicability

limits for the existing Low Temperature

Overpressure Protection System

(LTOPS) setpoints and LTOPS enable

temperature values, and implement

American Society of Mechanical

Engineers (ASME) Section XI, Code

Cases N–514 and N–640. Code Case N–

640 utilizes the ASME Section XI,

Appendix A critical initiation stress

intensity curve instead of the ASME

Section XI, Appendix G critical arrest

stress intensity curve. Code Case N–514

allows the resetting of the LTOPS

power-operated relief valve lift

setpoints.

Before issuance of the proposed

license amendments, 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 requests involve no

significant hazards consideration. Under

the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR

50.92, this means that operation of the

facilities in accordance with the

proposed amendments 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 change involve a significant

increase in the probability or consequences

of an accident previously evaluated[?]

The proposed changes modify the North

Anna Units 1 and 2 RCS P/T limit curves and

extend the cumulative core burnup

applicability limits for the existing LTOPS

setpoints and Tenable values. The allowable

operating pressures and temperatures under

the proposed RCS P/T limit curves are not

significantly different from those allowed

under the existing Technical Specification P/

T limits. No changes to plant systems,

structures, or components are proposed, and

no new allowable operating modes are

established. The P/T limits, LTOPS setpoints,

and Tenable values do not contribute to the

probability of occurrence or consequences of

accidents previously analyzed. The revised

licensing basis analyses utilize acceptable

analytical methods, and continue to

demonstrate that established accident

analysis acceptance criteria are met.

Therefore, there is no increase in the

probability or consequences of any accident

previously evaluated.

2. Does the change create the possibility of

a new or different kind of accident from any

accident previously evaluated[?]

The proposed changes modify the North

Anna Units 1 and 2 RCS P/T limit curves,

and extend the cumulative core burnup

applicability of the existing LTOPS setpoints

and Tenable values. No changes to plant

systems, structures, or components are

proposed, and no new allowable operating

modes are established. Therefore, the

proposed changes do not create the

possibility of any accident or malfunction of

a different type previously evaluated.

3. Does the change involve a significant

reduction in the margin of safety[?]

The proposed revised RCS P/T limit

curves, and revised LTOPS setpoint and

Tenable analysis bases do not involve a

significant reduction in the margin of safety

for these parameters. The proposed revised

RCS P/T limit curves use the ASME Section

XI Code Case N–640 K1c stress intensity

formulation. The proposed revised LTOPS

Tenable analysis bases use a plant-specific

application of the analysis methodology that

supports ASME Section XI Code Case N–514.

These analysis features are less restrictive

than those associated with the existing

analyses, but are conservative with respect to

requirements established by ASME Section

XI. The effects of RCS pressure and

temperature measurement uncertainty are

considered in the supporting analyses. The

proposed revised RCS P/T limit curves are

valid to cumulative core burnups of 32.3

EFPY [effective full-power years] and 34.3

EFPY for North Anna Units 1 and 2,

respectively. The proposed revised LTOPS

setpoint and Tenable analyses support

continued use of the existing North Anna

Units 1 and 2 Technical Specification LTOPS

setpoints and LTOPS enable temperatures to

these same cumulative core burnup limits.

The analyses demonstrate that established

analysis acceptance criteria continue to be

met. Specifically, the existing P/T limit

curves, LTOPS setpoints, and LTOPS Tenable

values provide acceptable margin to vessel

fracture under both normal operation and

LTOPS design basis (mass addition and heat

addition) accident conditions. Therefore, the

proposed changes do not result in a

significant reduction in a margin of safety.

The NRC staff has reviewed the

licensee’s analysis and, based on this

review, it appears that the three

standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are

satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff

proposes to determine that the

amendment requests involve no

significant hazards consideration.

The Commission is seeking public

comments on this proposed

determination. Any comments received

within 30 days after the date of

publication of this notice will be

considered in making any final

determination.

Normally, the Commission will not

issue the amendments until the

expiration of the 30-day notice period.

However, should circumstances change

during the notice period such that

failure to act in a timely way would

result, for example, in derating or

shutdown of the facility, the

Commission may issue the license
