NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–335 and 50–389]
Florida Power and Light Company;
Notice of Consideration of Issuance of
Amendments to Facility Operating
License, Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
and Opportunity for a Hearing
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (the Commission) is
considering issuance of amendments to
Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. DPR–67 and NPF–16 issued to
Florida Power and Light Company for
operation of the St. Lucie Plant, Unit
PO 00000
Frm 00076
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
57975
Nos. 1 and 2, located in St. Lucie
County, Florida.
The proposed amendments would
allow the licensee to revise the St. Lucie
Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications
to eliminate certain pressure sensor
response time testing (RTT)
requirements, as discussed in the
Combustion Engineering Owners Group
(CEOG) Topical Report NPSD–1167,
Revision 2, ‘‘Elimination of Pressure
Sensor Response Time Testing
Requirements,’’ which was approved by
the NRC staff by letters dated July 24,
2000, and December 5, 2000.
Specifically, these amendments revise
the St. Lucie Units 1 and 2 Technical
Specification Definitions 1.12,
‘‘Engineered Safety Features Response
Time,’’ and 1.26, ‘‘Reactor Protection
System Response Time.’’
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendments, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment requests involve no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), Section 50.92, this means that
operation of the facility in accordance
with the proposed amendments would
not (1) involve a significant increase in
the probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or (2)
create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or (3)
involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety. As required by 10 CFR
50.91(a), the licensee has provided its
analysis of the issue of no significant
hazards consideration, which is
presented below:
1. Operation of the facility in accordance
with the proposed amendments would not
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated.
The proposed changes allow the
elimination of pressure sensor response time
testing. Response time testing is not an
initiator of any accident previously
evaluated. Consequently, the probability of
an accident previously evaluated is not
significantly increased. The allocated
pressure sensor response times allowed in
lieu of measurement have been determined to
adequately represent the response time of the
components such that the safety systems
utilizing those components will continue to
perform their accident mitigation function as
assumed in the safety analysis. Therefore, the
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated are not significantly increased by
this change. Therefore, this change does not
E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM
28SEN1
57976
Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2004 / Notices
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated.
2. Operation of the facility in accordance
with the proposed amendments would not
create the possibility of a new or different
kind of accident from any accident
previously evaluated.
The proposed changes allow the
elimination of pressure sensor response time
testing. The proposed change does not
involve a physical alteration of the plant (no
new or different type of equipment will be
installed) or a change in the methods
governing normal plant operation. Thus, this
change does not create the possibility of a
new or different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated.
3. Operation of the facility in accordance
with the proposed amendments would not
involve a significant reduction in a margin of
safety.
The proposed change allows the
elimination of pressure sensor response time
testing. EPRI [Energy Power Research
Institute] Report NP–7243, ‘‘Investigation of
Response Time Testing Requirements,’’ and
CEOG Topical Report NPSD–1167,
‘‘Elimination of Pressure Sensor Response
Time Testing Requirements,’’ demonstrate
that elimination of RTT does not adversely
affect the ability to monitor instrument
performance and capability to meet design
basis requirements. The proposed change
also allows the use of allocated response
times for certain pressure sensors in lieu of
measurement of those response times. These
EPRI and CEOG Reports also determined that
allocated response times may be used with
no reduction in the margin of safety provided
by the safety systems supported by those
pressure sensors. Therefore, this change does
not involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety.
The NRC staff has reviewed the
licensee’s analysis and, based on this
review, it appears that the three
standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are
satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff
proposes to determine that the
amendment requests involve no
significant hazards consideration.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on this proposed
determination. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final
determination.
Normally, the Commission will not
issue the amendments until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue the license
amendments before expiration of the 60day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendments
involve no significant hazards
consideration. In addition, the
Commission may issue the amendments
prior to the expiration of the 30-day
comment period should circumstances
change during the 30-day comment

17:19 Sep 27, 2004
Jkt 203001
period such that failure to act in a
timely way would result, for example in
derating or shutdown of the facility.
Should the Commission take action
prior to the expiration of either the
comment period or the notice period, it
will publish in the Federal Register a
notice of issuance. Should the
Commission make a final No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination,
any hearing will take place after
issuance. The Commission expects that
the need to take this action will occur
very infrequently.
Written comments may be submitted
by mail to the Chief, Rules and
Directives Branch, Division of
Administrative Services, Office of
Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001, and should cite the publication
date and page number of this Federal
Register notice. Written comments may
also be delivered to Room 6D59, Two

The filing of requests for hearing and
petitions for leave to intervene is
discussed below.
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice, the licensee
may file a request for a hearing with
respect to issuance of the amendment to
the subject facility operating license and
any person whose interest may be
affected by this proceeding and who

Domestic Licensing Proceedings’’ in 10
CFR Part 2. Interested persons should
consult a current copy of 10 CFR 2.309,
which is available at the Commission’s
PDR, located at One White Flint North,
Public File Area 01F21, 11555 Rockville
Pike (first floor), Rockville, Maryland.
Publicly available records will be
accessible from the Agencywide
Documents Access and Management
System’s (ADAMS) Public Electronic
Reading Room on the Internet at the
NRC Web site, http://www.nrc.gov/
reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a
request for a hearing or petition for
leave to intervene is filed by the above
date, the Commission or a presiding
officer designated by the Commission or
by the Chief Administrative Judge of the
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703

Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
Panel, will rule on the request and/or
petition; and the Secretary or the Chief
Administrative Judge of the Atomic
Safety and Licensing Board will issue a
notice of a hearing or an appropriate
order.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309, a
petition for leave to intervene shall set
forth with particularity the interest of
the petitioner in the proceeding, and
how that interest may be affected by the
results of the proceeding. The petition
should specifically explain the reasons
why intervention should be permitted
with particular reference to the
following general requirements: (1) The
name, address and telephone number of
the requestor or petitioner; (2) the
nature of the requestor’s/petitioner’s
right under the Act to be made a party
to the proceeding; (3) the nature and
extent of the requestor’s/petitioner’s
property, financial, or other interest in
the proceeding; and (4) the possible
effect of any decision or order which
may be entered in the proceeding on the
requestor’s/petitioner’s interest. The
petition must also identify the specific
contentions which the petitioner/
requestor seeks to have litigated at the
proceeding.
Each contention must consist of a
specific statement of the issue of law or
fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the petitioner/requestor shall
provide a brief explanation of the bases
for the contention and a concise
statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinion which support the contention
and on which the petitioner intends to
rely in proving the contention at the
hearing. The petitioner/requestor must
also provide references to those specific
sources and documents of which the
petitioner is aware and on which the
petitioner intends to rely to establish
those facts or expert opinion. The
petition must include sufficient
information to show that a genuine
dispute exists with the applicant on a
material issue of law or fact.
Contentions shall be limited to matters
within the scope of the amendments
under consideration. The contention
must be one which, if proven, would
entitle the petitioner to relief. A
petitioner/requestor who fails to satisfy
these requirements with respect to at
least one contention will not be
permitted to participate as a party.
Those permitted to intervene become
parties to the proceeding, subject to any
limitations in the order granting leave to
intervene, and have the opportunity to
participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing.
If a hearing is requested, the
Commission will make a final
E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM
28SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2004 / Notices
determination on the issue of no
significant hazards consideration. The
final determination will serve to decide
when the hearing is held. If the final
determination is that the amendment
requests involve no significant hazards
consideration, the Commission may
issue the amendments and make it
immediately effective, notwithstanding
the request for a hearing. Any hearing
held would take place after issuance of
the amendments. If the final
determination is that the amendment
requests involve a significant hazards
consideration, any hearing held would
take place before the issuance of any
amendments.
Nontimely requests and/or petitions
and contentions will not be entertained
absent a determination by the
Commission or the presiding officer of
the Atomic Safety and Licensing Board
that the petition, request and/or the
contentions should be granted based on
a balancing of the factors specified in 10
CFR 2.309(a)(1)(i)–(viii).
