NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-341]

 
Detroit Edison Company; Fermi 2; Notice of Issuance of Amendment 
to Facility Operating License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 134 to Facility Operating License No. NPF-43 issued to 
the Detroit Edison Company (the licensee), for operation of Fermi 2, 
located in Monroe County, Michigan.
    The amendment is effective as of the date of issuance and shall be 
implemented within 90 days. The implementation of the amendment 
includes two license conditions that are being added to Section 2.C of 
the operating license as part of the amendment.
    The amendment replaces, in its entirety, the current Technical 
Specifications (TSs) with a set of improved TSs based on (1) NUREG-
1433, ``Standard Technical Specifications, General Electric Plants BWR/
4,'' Revision 1, dated April 1995, including subsequent approved 
changes to the standard TSs, (2) guidance provided in the Commission's 
``Final Policy Statement on Technical Specifications Improvements for 
Nuclear Power Reactors,'' published on July 22, 1993 (58 FR 39132), and 
(3) 10 CFR 50.36, ``Technical Specifications,'' as amended July 19, 
1995 (60 FR 36953). In addition, the amendment added two license 
conditions to Section 2.C of the operating license that (1) require the 
relocation of certain current TS requirements into licensee-controlled 
documents, and (2) provide the schedule for the first performance of 
surveillance requirements that are new or revised in the amendment.
    The application for the amendment, as supplemented, 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.
    Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendment and Opportunity 
for Hearing in connection with this action was published in the Federal 
Register on August 10, 1999 (64 FR 43408). 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 beyond that 
described in the Final Environmental Statement related to the operation 
of Fermi 2 dated August 1981, and in the addendum to the Final 
Environmental Statement dated March 1982. The Environmental Assessment 
was published in the Federal Register on September 30, 1999 (64 FR 
52800).
    For further details with respect to the action, see (1) the 
application for amendment dated April 3, 1998, as supplemented by 
letters dated September 28, October 19, and December 10, 1998, and 
January 8, January 26, February 24, March 30, April 8, April 30, May 7, 
June 2, June 24, June 30, July 7, July 13, July 26, August 4, August 
17, August 25, and September 8, 1999, (2) Amendment No. 134 to License 
No. NPF-43, (3) the Commission's related Safety Evaluation and (4) the 
Commission's Environmental Assessment. All of these items are available 
for public inspection at the Commission's Public Document Room, the 
Gelman Building, 2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC, and at the local 
public document room located at the Monroe County Library System, Ellis 
Reference and Information Center, 3700 South Custer Road, Monroe, 
Michigan 48161.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of September 1999.
