NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-261]


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

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 176 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-23 issued to 
Carolina Power & Light Company (the licensee), which revised the 
operating license and Appendices A and B to the operating license for 
the H.B. Robinson Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2 (HBR), located in 
Darlington County, South Carolina. The amendment is effective as of the 
date of issuance.
    The amendment implements a full conversion of the HBR Technical 
Specifications (TS) to a set of TS based upon NUREG-1431, ``Standard 
Technical Specifications Westinghouse Plants,'' Revision 0, dated 
September 1992 (including travellers used in the issuance of Revision 
1, dated April 1995).
    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 October 29, 1996 (61 FR 
55830). 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 50409).
