NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-352]


Philadelphia Electric Company, Limerick Generation Station, Unit 
1; Notice of Issuance of Amendment To Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 128 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-39, issued to 
Philadelphia Electric Company (the licensee), which approves 
installation of replacement suction strainers for operation of the 
Limerick Generating Station (LGS), Unit 1, located in Montgomery and 
Chester Counties, Pennsylvania. The amendment is effective as of the 
date of issuance and shall be implemented within 30 days.
    The amendment documents the NRC staff's approval of the 
implementation of a plant modification to support the installation of 
replacement suction strainers for the emergency core cooling systems at 
the LGS, Unit 1.
    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 January 29, 1998 (63 FR 
4496). 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 (63 FR 
25526).
    For further details with respect to the action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated October 6, 1997, as supplemented by
