NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-341]


Detroit Edison Company; Notice of Partial Denial of Amendment to 
Facility Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has 
partially denied a request by Detroit Edison Company (licensee) for an 
amendment to Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 issued to the 
licensee for operation of Fermi 2, located in Frenchtown Township, 
Monroe County, Michigan. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this 
amendment was published in the Federal Register on April 12, 1995 (60 
FR 18625).
    The licensee's proposed amendment request revised the Technical 
Specifications (TS) to relocate the audit frequencies in TS 6.5.2.8 to 
the Quality Assurance Program (QAP) in Chapter 17.2 of the Updated 
Final Safety Analysis Report. The licensee also proposed to extend the 
frequency for use of an independent fire protection contractor from 
once every 3 years to once every third fire protection audit. The 
licensee submitted corresponding changes to the QAP in accordance with 
10 CFR 50.54(a) to Region III for review which also reduced some audit 
frequencies. The region approved the relocation of and reductions in 
the audit frequencies but did not approve the requested change on 
independent contractor use for fire protection audits. Therefore, this 
proposed change to the TS was also denied.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be 
fully granted. The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of 
the proposed change by a letter dated May 23, 1995.
    By July 3, 1995, the licensee may demand a hearing with respect to 
the [[Page 28813]] 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 John Flynn, Esq., Detroit Edison Company, 2000 Second 
Avenue, Detroit, Michigan 48266, attorney for the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated September 13, 1993, as supplemented
