NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

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


PPL Susquehanna, LLC; Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc.; 
Susquehanna Steam Electric Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Notice of 
Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating Licenses

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment Nos. 194 and 169 to Facility Operating License Nos. NPF-14 
and NPF-22, issued to PPL Susquehanna, LLC (PPL or the licensee), which 
revised the Facility Operating Licenses and Technical Specifications 
for operation of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station (SSES), Unit 
Nos. 1 and 2, located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The amendments 
are effective as of the date of issuance.
    The amendments modified the Facility Operating Licenses and 
Technical Specifications for SSES, Units 1 and 2, to increase the 
licensed power level for each unit from 3441 megawatts thermal (MWt) to 
3489 MWt, which is an increase of 1.4 percent of the rated core thermal 
power for SSES, Units 1 and 2.
    The application for the amendments 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 April 24, 2001 (66 
FR 20691). 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 amendments will not have a 
significant effect on the quality of the human environment (66 FR 
33716).
    For further details with respect to the action see (1) the
