NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-250 and 50-251]

 

Florida Power and Light Company; Turkey Point Unit Nos. 3 and 4; 
Notice of Partial Denial of Amendment to Facility Operating License and 
Opportunity for Hearing

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has denied a portion 
of an amendment request by the Florida Power and Light Company (FPL or 
the licensee) for an amendment to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-
31 and DPR-41, issued to the licensee for operation of the Turkey Point 
Plant, Units 3 and 4, located in Dade County, Florida. Notice of 
Consideration of Issuance of this amendment was published in the 
Federal Register on March 30, 1994 (59 FR 14889).
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
Technical Specification (TS) to delete the frequencies from the audits 
performed under the cognizance of the Company Nuclear Review Board 
(CNRB) and remove the audit of the emergency and security plans and 
implementing procedures from TS. The audits would be performed at the 
frequency specified in the FPL Topical Quality Assurance Report (TQAR). 
Some audits would be performed less frequently (biennial rather than 
annual in most cases).
    The NRC staff has concluded that the portion of the licensee's 
request regarding audits of the Fire Protection Program cannot be 
granted for the reasons stated in letter dated October 26, 1994. The 
licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the proposed change 
by letter dated October 26, 1994.
    By December 2, 1994, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect 
to the denial described above. Any person 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 Service 
Branch, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public Document Room, 
the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555, 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 Harold F. Reis, Esquire, Newman and Holtzinger, P.C., 
1615 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20036, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendments dated February 18, 1994, as supplemented by 
letter dated August 5, 1994, and (2) the Commission's letter to the 
licensee dated October 26, 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 Florida 
International University, University Park, Miami, Florida 33199. 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 26th day of October, 1994.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Mohan C. Thadani,
Acting Director, Project Directorate II-2, Division of Reactor 
Projects--I/II, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
