mechanism for monitoring customer
satisfaction. In particular, the purpose of
the proposed National Personnel
Records Center (NPRC) Survey of
Customer Satisfaction is to (1)
determine customer satisfaction with
MPR’s reference service process, (2)
identify areas within the reference
service process for improvement, and
(3) provide MPR management with
customer feedback on the effectiveness
of BPR initiatives designed to improve
customer service as they are
implemented. In addition to supporting
the BPR effort, the proposed National
Personnel Records Center (NPRC)
Survey of Customer Satisfaction will
help NARA in responding to
performance planning and reporting
requirements contained in the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA).

[Docket No. 50–348]
Southern Nuclear Operating Company;
Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Power Plant,
Unit 1; Exemption
1.0
Background
The Southern Nuclear Operating
Company (SNC, the licensee) is the
holder of Renewed Facility Operating
License No. NPF–2 which authorizes
operation of Joseph M. Farley Nuclear
Power Plant (FNP), Unit 1. The license
provides, among other things, that the
facility is subject to all rules,
regulations, and orders of the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC, the
Commission) now or hereafter in effect.
The facility consists of a pressurizedwater reactor located in Houston
County, Alabama.

TIME AND DATE:
NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Request/Action
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Appendix
R, ‘‘Fire Protection Program for Nuclear
Power Facilities Operating Prior to
January 1, 1979,’’ establishes fire
protection features required to satisfy
General Design Criterion 3, ‘‘Fire
protection,’’ of Appendix A to10 CFR
Part 50 with respect to certain generic
issues for nuclear power plants licensed
to operate prior to January 1, 1979. FNP,
Unit 1 was licensed to operate prior to
January 1, 1979. Therefore, FNP, Unit 1
is directly subject to Appendix R.
By letter dated January 19, 2005, as
supplemented by letters dated June 9
(two letters) and November 18, 2005,
SNC, the licensee for FNP, Unit 1,
submitted a request for a permanent
exemption from 10 CFR Appendix R,
Section III.G.2, pertaining to FNP, Unit
1 (SNC letters NL–04–2357, NL–05–
0937, NL–05–0960 and NL–05–1975,
respectively). Specifically, 10 CFR
Appendix R, Section III.G.2, would
require the use of a 1-hour rated fire
barrier for protection of certain safe
shutdown control circuits located in
Fire Areas 1–013 and 1–042. In lieu of
providing such 1-hour rated fire
barriers, the licensee proposes the use of
fire-rated electrical cable produced by
Meggitt Safety System, Inc., (previously
known as Whittaker Electronic
Resources Unit of Whittaker Electronic
Systems) for several cables in Fire Areas
1–013 and 1–042 associated with safe
shutdown control circuits.

Discussion
Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the
Commission may, upon application by
any interested person or upon its own
PO 00000

initiative, grant exemptions from the
requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 when (1)
The exemptions are authorized by law,
will not present an undue risk to public
health or safety, and are consistent with
the common defense and security; and
(2) when special circumstances are
present. These special circumstances are
described in 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), in
that the application of these regulations
is not necessary to achieve the
underlying purpose of the rule.
The underlying purpose of Appendix
R, Section III.G, is to provide features
capable of limiting fire damage so that:
(1) One train of systems necessary to
achieve and maintain hot shutdown
conditions from either the control room
or emergency control station(s) is free of
fire damage; and (2) systems necessary
to achieve and maintain cold shutdown
from either the control room or
emergency control station(s) can be
repaired within 72 hours.
3.1 Overview of Approach Used by
Licensee
For this specific fire protection
application, SNC proposes plant
modifications to use 1-hour fire-rated
electrical cable in lieu of a 1-hour rated
fire barrier as required by 10 CFR Part
50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2. Section
III.G.2 of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R,
provides fire protection requirements
for electrical cables located within the
same fire area whose failure could cause
the maloperation of redundant trains of
systems necessary to achieve and
maintain hot shutdown conditions.
These areas are required to have
protection features such that one of the
redundant trains will be free of fire
damage in the event of a fire. One
method, described in Section III.G.2, for
ensuring compliance with this
requirement is to enclose the cable and
equipment and associated non-safety
circuits of one redundant train in a 1hour rated fire barrier. In addition, an
area-wide automatic fire suppression
and detection system shall be installed
in the fire area.
A postulated fire in Fire Area 1–013
or 1–042 could cause loss of offsite
power; both fire areas contain cable bus
ducts from the startup transformers to
both redundant trains of the 4 kilovolt
(KV) Appendix R safe shutdown (SSD)
busses. A postulated fire in either of
these fire areas could also potentially
impact the function of the Train B 4 KV
Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) 1B
control circuitry. The majority of the
Train A onsite electrical power system
components required for Appendix R
SSD are not located in Fire Area 1–013
or 1–042. The following Train A onsite
power system related SSD circuits
