NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[Docket No. 50-255]


Consumers Power 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 Consumers Power Company, (licensee) for 
an amendment to Facility Operating License No DRP-20 issued to the 
licensee for operation of Palisades, located in Covert Township, Van 
Buren County, Michigan. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this 
amendment was published in the Federal Register on May 25, 1994 (59 FR 
27053).
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to relocate 
certain Technical Specifications (TS) containing fuel cycle-specific 
parameter limits that can change with core reloads to a Core Operating 
Limits Report. Several of the TS bases have also been revised to refer 
to limits relocated to the COLR.
    The NRC staff has concluded that the licensee's request cannot be 
fully granted. The removal of the power distribution measurement 
uncertainty factors in Table 3.23.3 and the addition of certain 
references to TS 6.9.1.f are denied. The licensee was notified of the 
Commission's denial of the proposed change by a letter dated July 26, 
1995.
    By September 1, 1995, 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 petition should also be sent to the Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
20555, and to Gerald Charnoff, Esq., Shaw, Pittman, Potts and 
Trowbridge, 2300 N Street, NW., Washington, DC 20037.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated April 7, 1994, as supplemented April 
27, 1995, and (2) the Commission's letter to the licensee dated July 
26, 1995.
    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 Van Wylen Library, Hope College, 
Holland, Michigan 49423.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day of July 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Marsha Gamberoni,
Project Manager, Project Directorate III-I, Division of Reactor 
Projects--III/IV, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
