NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[Docket No. 50-263]


Licensee; Notice of Issuance of Amendment to Facility Operating 
License

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Commission) has issued 
Amendment No. 139 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-22 issued to 
Nuclear Management Company, LLC (the licensee), which revised the 
Technical Specifications for operation of the Monticello Nuclear 
Generating Plant, located in Wright County, Minnesota. The amendment is 
effective as of the date of issuance.
    The amendment modified the Technical Specifications to change 
design bases and the Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR) for (1) 
long-term containment response to the design-basis loss-of-coolant 
accident (LOCA) and (2) containment overpressure required for adequate 
available net positive suction head for the low-pressure emergency core 
cooling system pumps following a LOCA, reactor vessel isolation, and 
Appendix R fire.
    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 January 27, 2003 (68 FR 
3900). 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 (69 FR 
29983).
    Further details with respect to the action see (1) the application 
for amendment dated December 6, 2002, as supplemented September 24, 
2003 and March 12, 2004, (2) Amendment No. 139 to License No. DPR-22, 
(3) the Commission's related Safety Evaluation, and (4) the 
Commission's Environmental Assessment. Documents may be examined, and/
