NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
 

Duke Power Co.; Notice of Partial Denial of Amendment to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

[Docket Nos. 50-369 and 50-370]
    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied 
part of a request by Duke Power Company (the licensee) for amendments 
to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-9 and NPF-17 issued to the 
licensee for operation of the McGuire Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2, 
located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. A Notice of 
Consideration of Issuance of the Amendments was published in the 
Federal Register on December 22, 1993 (58 FR 67842).
    The licensee's application of October 25, 1993, as supplemented on 
December 3, 1993, and February 14, 1994, proposed several changes to 
the Technical Specifications (TS) relating to the Limiting Safety 
System Settings and to the required minimum measured reactor coolant 
system flow rate. The amendments issued on March 22, 1994, authorized 
these changes except for those that would change the text of TS 2.1.1 
and the definition of Figure 2.1-1. These changes were found either not 
to be beneficial in clarifying the TS or to be unacceptable because 
they would eliminate the connection between TS 2.1 and the associated 
reporting requirements in TS Section 6.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's proposed change is 
unacceptable and is denied. The licensee was notified of the 
Commission's denial of the proposed change by letter dated April 14, 
1994.
    By May 23, 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 Mr. Albert Carr, Duke Power Company, 422 South Church 
Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28242, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendments dated October 25, 1993, as supplemented on 
December 3, 1993, and February 14, 1994, and (2) the Commission's 
letter to the licensee dated April 14, 1994.
    These documents are available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, 
NW., Washington, DC 20555, and at the local public document room 
located at the Atkins Library, University of North Carolina, Charlotte 
(UNCC Station), North Carolina 28223. 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 14th day of April 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
David B. Matthews,
Project Director, Project Directorate II-3, Division of Reactor 
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
