NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50-312 and 50-366]


Georgia Power Company, et al.; Issuance of Amendments to Facility 
Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment Nos. 195 and 135 to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-57 
and NPF-5, respectively, issued to Georgia Power Company, et al. (the 
licensee), which revised the Technical Specifications (TS) and 
associated Bases for operation of the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, 
Units 1 and 2, located in [[Page 13186]] Appling County, Georgia. The 
amendment is effective as of the date of issuance and shall be 
implemented within 150 days from the date of issuance.
    The amendments replaced the current TS and associated Bases with a 
set based on the new Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Owners Group Standard 
Technical Specifications, NUREG-1433, ``Standard Technical 
Specifications General Electric Plants, BWR/4,'' with one exception. 
The staff was unable to conclude, without further evaluation, that the 
proposed increase in the local power range monitor calibration interval 
is justified. Therefore, the change has not been incorporated in these 
amendments.
    The application for the amendments (dated February 25, 1994), as 
supplemented July 8, August 8 and 31, September 23, October 19, 
November 1, 1994, and January 19, 1995 (two letters), 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 August 31, 
September 23, October 19, November 1, 1994, and January 19, 1995 (two 
letters) letters provided additional and clarifying information that 
did not change the initial proposed scope of the licensing action. 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.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Opportunity 
for Hearing in connection with this action was published in the Federal 
Register on August 18, 1994 (59 FR 42607). No request for a hearing or 
petition for leave to intervene was filed following this notice.
    The Commission has prepared an Environmental Assessment related to 
the action and has determined not to prepare an environmental impact 
statement. Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has 
concluded that the issuance of the amendments will not have a 
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (59 FR 61349 
dated November 30, 1994).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendments dated February 25, 1994, as supplemented 
July 8, August 8 and 31, September 23, October 19, November 1, 1994, 
and January 19, 1995 (two letters), (2) Amendment Nos. 195 and 135 to 
License Nos. DPR-57 and NPF-5, respectively, (3) the Commission's 
related Safety Evaluation, and (4) the Commission's Environmental 
Assessment. All of these items are available for public inspection at 
the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L 
Street NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public document room 
located at the Appling County Public Library, 301 City Hall Drive, 
Baxley, Georgia.

    Dated at Rockville, Md, this 3rd day of March 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Herbert N. Berkow,
Director, Project Directorate II-3, Division of Reactor Projects--I/II, 
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
