NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 72-2 (50-280/281)]


Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Materials License SNM-2501, 
Virginia Electric and Power Company, Surry Independent Spent Fuel 
Storage Installation

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued 
Amendment 8 to Materials License No. SNM-2501 held by Virginia Electric 
and Power Company (VA Power) for the receipt, possession, transfer, and 
storage of spent fuel at the Surry ISFSI, located in Surry County, 
Virginia. The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
    By application dated October 16, 1995, VA Power requested to amend 
its ISFSI license to (1) Revise references to the physical security 
plan, and (2) permanently exempt it from the submittal date specified 
in 10 CFR 72.44(d)(3) for the required annual radioactive effluent 
release report. The Commission has chosen not to grant the exemption. 
However, the license has been revised to delete the requirement of 
submitting a second, semi-annual radioactive effluent release report 
that is not required by 10 CFR Part 72.
    This amendment 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 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.
    In accordance with 10 CFR 72.46(b)(2), a determination has been 
made that the amendment does not present a genuine issue as to whether 
public health and safety will be significantly affected. Therefore, the 
publication of a notice of proposed action and an opportunity for 
hearing or a notice of hearing is not warranted. Notice is hereby given 
of the right of interested persons to request a hearing on whether the 
action should be rescinded or modified.
    The Commission has determined that the issuance of the amendment 
will not result in any significant environmental impact and that, 
pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(c) (10) and (12), an environmental assessment 
need not be prepared in connection with issuance of the amendment.
    Documents related to this action are available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room located at the 
Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20555, and at the 
Local Public Document Room at the Swem Library, the College of William 
and Mary, Williamsburg, VA 23185.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of August 1996.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
William D. Travers,
Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety 
and Safeguards.
