NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-272 and 50-311]


Public Service Electric & Gas Company; Philadelphia Electric 
Company; Delmarva Power and Light Company; Atlantic City Electric 
Company; Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Notice of 
Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment Nos. 194 and 177 to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-70 
and DPR-75, respectively, to Public Service Electric & Gas Company, 
Philadelphia Electric Company, Delmarva Power and Light Company and 
Atlantic City Electric Company (the licensees), which revised the 
Technical Specifications for operation of the Salem Nuclear Generating 
Station, Units 1 and 2, located at the licensee's site in Salem County, 
New Jersey.
    The amendments provide changes to Technical Specification (TS) 
3.4.3, ``Relief Valves,'' for Salem Unit 1, and TS 3.4.5, ``Relief 
Valves,'' for Salem Unit 2, to ensure that the automatic capability of 
the power operated relief valves to relieve pressure is maintained when 
these valves are isolated by closure of the block valves.
    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--2 -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 amendments.
    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 April 4, 1997 (62 
FR 16199). 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 
25675).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the 
application for amendment dated January 31, 1997, as supplemented by 
letters dated March 14, April 8, and April 28, 1997, (2) Amendment Nos. 
194 and 177 to License Nos. DPR-70 and DPR-75, respectively, (3) the 
Commission's related Safety Evaluation, and (4) the Commission's 
Environmental Assessment. All of these items are available for public 
inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the Gelman 
Building, 2120 L Street NW., Washington, DC, and at the local public 
document room located at the Salem Free Public Library, 112 West 
Broadway, Salem, New Jersey 08079.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of June 1997.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Leonard N. Olshan,
Senior Project Manager, Project Directorate I-2, Division of Reactor
