NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50-334 and 50-412]


Pennsylvania Power Company, Ohio Edison Company, The Cleveland 
Electric Illuminating Company, The Toledo Edison Company, FirstEnergy 
Nuclear Operating Company; Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Facility 
Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment Nos. 243 and 122 to Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-66 
and NPF-73, respectively, issued to FirstEnergy Nuclear Operating 
Company, et. al., (the licensee), which revised the Technical 
Specifications (TSs) and Operating Licenses for operation of the Beaver 
Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2 (BVPS-1 and 2) located in 
Shippingport, Pennsylvania. The amendment is effective as of the date 
of issuance.
    The amendment modified the TSs and OLs to reflect an increased 
maximum steady-state core power level from 2652 megawatts thermal (MWt) 
to 2689 MWt, an increase of approximately 1.4 percent. These increases 
are facilitated by the utilization of the Caldon Leading Edge Flowmeter 
for feedwater flow measurements.
    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 June 19, 2001 (66 FR 
32963). 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 portion of the action related to the power uprate 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 (66 FR 47699).
    For further details with respect to the action, see (1) The 
application for amendment dated January 18, 2001 (Agencywide Documents
