NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Tennessee Valley Authority; Denial of Amendment to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

[Docket Nos. 50-327 AND 50-328]
    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied 
a request by the Tennessee Valley Authority (licensee), for amendments 
to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-77 and DPR-79 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant Units 1 and 2, 
located in Soddy Daisy, Tennessee. Notice of Consideration of Issuance 
of this amendment was published in the Federal Register on February 2, 
1994 (59 FR 4948).
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
Technical Specifications to delete License Condition 2.H from the 
Operating License. This license condition requires that violations of 
certain specified license conditions be reported to the NRC Regional 
Office.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be 
granted because inadequate technical justification has been provided. 
The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the proposed 
change by a letter dated March 3, 1994.
    By April 11, 1994, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect 
to the denial described above. Any person whose interest may be 
affected by this proceeding may file a written petition for leave to 
intervene.
    A request for hearing or petition for leave to intervene must be 
filed with the Secretary of the Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, DC, 20555, Attention: Docketing and Services 
Branch, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public Document Room, 
the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, by the above 
date.
    A copy of any petitions should also be sent to the Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 
20555, and to the Office of the General Council, Tennessee Valley 
Authority, 400 West Summit Hill Drive, ET 11H, Knoxville, Tennessee 
37902, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated November 18, 1993, and (2) the 
Commission's letter to the licensee dated March 3, 1994.
    These documents are available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, 
NW., Washington, DC, and at the Chattanooga-Hamilton County Library, 
1001 Broad Street, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37402. A copy of item (2) may 
be obtained upon request addressed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington DC, 20555, Attention: Document Control Desk.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of March, 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Frederick J. Hebdon,
Director, Project Directorate II-4, Division of Reactor Projects--I/II, 
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
