FPL holds License No. DPR–31 and DPR–41, issued by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) on July 19, 1972, and April 10, 1973, respectively, pursuant to 10 CFR part 50. The licenses authorize the operation of Turkey Point, Units 3 & 4, in accordance with the conditions specified therein. Turkey Point is located on the Licensee’s site in Florida City, Florida. II In approximately October 2004, a firing pin from a contingency response weapon was discovered to be damaged at FPL’s Turkey Point facility. Mr. Fernandez participated in an inquiry of the damage and documented the results of that inquiry in Condition Report (CR) 2004–13573. As the Security Project Manager for WNS at Turkey Point during this time, Mr. Fernandez was knowledgeable of the circumstances and assisted in the preparation and/or approval of the documentation contained in Condition Report (CR) 2004–13573. III In February 2006, the NRC’s Office of Investigations (OI) initiated an investigation into the circumstances PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5879 surrounding the damaged firing pin, and the NRC was provided a copy of CR 2004–13573. Based on the OI investigation, the NRC reached a preliminary conclusion that Mr. Fernandez’ documentation of the circumstances involving the damaged firing pin in CR 2004–13573 was not complete and accurate in all material respects. The NRC also preliminarily concluded that Mr. Fernandez’ incomplete or inaccurate documentation of the circumstances was deliberate. As a result, the NRC concluded that Mr. Fernandez was in apparent violation of 10 CFR 50.5, in that his actions caused FPL to be in violation of 10 CFR 50.9. The results of the NRC’s preliminary conclusion were provided to Mr. Fernandez by letter dated May 30, 2007. The NRC’s letter informed Mr. Fernandez that the NRC was considering the apparent violation for escalated enforcement action in accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy, and offered Mr. Fernandez a choice to: (1) Attend a Pre-decisional Enforcement Conference; (2) provide a written response; or (3) request ADR with the NRC in an attempt to resolve any disagreement on whether a violation occurred, the appropriate enforcement action, and the appropriate corrective actions. In response, Mr. Fernandez requested ADR to resolve the matter. Mr. Fernandez and the NRC participated in an ADR session in Miami, Florida, on November 9, 2007. Consistent with the purposes of ADR, the parties acknowledged that the session was not for the purposes of reaching any conclusions regarding any facts or circumstances as discussed in the NRC’s letter to Mr. Fernandez of May 30, 2007. As the result of the ADR session, Mr. Fernandez and the NRC reached a settlement agreement. The elements of the Agreement in Principle consisted of the following: 1. Mr. Fernandez elaborated on the circumstances concerning his involvement in the drafting of Condition Reports, in support of his view that his actions did not represent deliberate misconduct. Mr. Fernandez acknowledges that CR 2004–13573 was inartfully worded and subject to misinterpretation. However, Mr. Fernandez also stated that he had no intent to deceive the NRC or FPL with respect to CR 2004–13573. Furthermore, Mr. Fernandez expressed a clear understanding of the importance of preparing documentation at NRCregulated facilities that is complete and accurate. 2. Mr. Fernandez indicated that since approximately February 2006, he has E:\FR\FM\31JAN1.SGM 31JAN1
