NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-483]


Union Electric Company; Notice of Denial of Amendment to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for Hearing

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has denied 
a request by Union Electric Company, (the licensee) for an amendment to 
Facility Operating License No. NPF-30 issued to the licensee for 
operation of the Callaway Plant, Unit No. 1, located in Callaway 
County, Missouri. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of this amendment 
was published in the Federal Register on December 21, 1994 (59 FR 
65824).
    The purpose of the licensee's amendment request was to revise the 
following Technical Specifications: (1) Table 3.7-1 that would limit 
the maximum allowable power levels with inoperable main steam line 
safety valves, (2) Table 3.7-2 that would specify that the lift setting 
tolerance for the main steam safety valves is +3/-1% as-found and 
1% as-left, (3) Tables 2.2-1 and 3.3-2 that would reduce 
the sensor error and the response time for the pressurizer pressure 
high trip, and (4) Bases 3/4.7.1 that would reflect the plant uprates 
and the switch to V5 fuel.
    The NRC staff has advised the licensee that the proposed amendment 
is denied since the licensee has failed to respond to the Commission's 
request for information to support the application.
    The licensee was notified of the Commission's denial of the 
proposed changes by letter dated October 3, 1996.
    By November 8, 1996, 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, D.C., 20555-0001, Attention: Docketing and 
Services Branch, or may be delivered to the Commission's Public 
Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, N.W., Washington, 
D.C., 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, D.C., 
20555-0001, and to Gerald Charnoff, Esq., Shaw, Pittman, Potts & 
Trowbridge, 2300 N. Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., 20037, attorney for 
the licensee.
    For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated September 12, 1994, and (2) the 
Commission's letter to the licensee dated October 3, 1996.
    These documents are available for public inspection at the 
Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, 
N.W., Washington, D.C., and at the Callaway County Public Library, 710 
Court Street, Fulton, Missouri 65251. A copy of item (2) may be 
obtained upon request addressed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission, Washington, D.C., 20555-0001, Attention: Document Control 
Desk.
