NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-387 and 50-388]


Pennsylvania Power and Light Company; Notice of Issuance of 
Amendments to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment Nos. 165 and 137 to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-14 
and NPF-22, respectively, to Pennsylvania Power & Light Company, (the 
licensee), which revised the Technical Specifications for operation of 
the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2, located in 
Luzerne County, PA. The amendment is effective as of the date of 
issuance.
    The amendment modified the current Technical Specifications (TSs) 
for each unit to include two sections of the Improved Technical 
Specifications (ITS) by adding Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) 
3.10.3, ``Single Control Rod Withdrawal-Hot Shutdown,'' and LCO 3.10.4, 
``Single Control Rod Withdrawal-Cold Shutdown,'' in a modified format 
and with cross references that are compatible with the current TSs. 
This change permits control rod drive tests to be conducted during 
refueling operations. The LCOs in the ITS format will be issued at a 
later date with the full ITS conversion package.
    The application for the 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.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility 
Operating Licenses and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with 
this action was published in the Federal Register on March 5, 1997 (62 
FR 10090). 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 amendment will not have a 
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (62 FR 
17886).
