NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-331]


Nuclear Management Company, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Amendment 
to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 243 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-49 issued to 
Nuclear Management Company, LLC (the licensee), which revised the 
Operating License and Technical Specifications (TS) for operation of 
the Duane Arnold Energy Center (DAEC) located in Linn County, Iowa. The

amendment is effective as of the date of issuance.
    The amendment modified the Operating License and TS to allow an 
increase of the authorized operating power level from 1658 megawatts 
thermal (MWt) to 1912 MWt at DAEC. The change represents an increase of 
15.3 percent above the current rated thermal power and is considered an 
extended power uprate.
    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 September 27, 2001 (66 
FR 49426). 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 (66 FR 
55703).
    Further details with respect to the action see (1) the application 
for amendment dated November 16, 2000, as supplemented April 16 (two
