NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-388]


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

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 139 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-22 issued to 
Pennsylvania Power & Light (the licensee), which revised the Technical 
Specifications for operation of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, 
Unit 2, located in Luzerne County, PA. The amendment is effective as of 
the date of issuance.
    The amendment modified the Technical Specifications to authorize 
the use of ATRIUM-10 fuel in the reactor for the ninth refueling cycle 
for this plant.
    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 Amendment to Facility 
Operating License and Opportunity for a Hearing in connection with this 
action was published in the Federal Register on March 18, 1997 (62 FR 
12859). 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 
24669).
