NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket Nos. 50–348 and 50–364; NRC–
2009–0375]
Southern Nuclear Operating Company,
Inc.; Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant;
Environmental Assessment and
Finding of No Significant Impact
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of an Exemption, pursuant to
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Section 73.5,
‘‘Specific exemptions,’’ from 10 CFR
Part 73, ‘‘Physical protection of plants
and materials,’’ for Facility Operating
License Nos. NPF–2 and NPF–8, issued
to Southern Nuclear Operating
Company, Inc. (SNC, the licensee), for
operation of the Joseph M. Farley
Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2 (FNP),
located in Houston County, Alabama. In
accordance with 10 CFR 51.21, the NRC
prepared an environmental assessment
documenting its finding. The NRC
concluded that the proposed actions
will have no significant environmental
impact.
Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would exempt
the FNP from the required
implementation date of March 31, 2010,
for several new requirements of 10 CFR
part 73. Specifically, FNP would be
granted an exemption from being in full
compliance with certain new
requirements contained in 10 CFR 73.55
by the March 31, 2010, deadline.
Instead, SNC has proposed an alternate
full compliance implementation date of
December 15, 2010, approximately eight
and a half months beyond the date
required by 10 CFR part 73. The
proposed action, an extension of the
schedule for completion of certain
actions required by the revised 10 CFR
part 73, does not involve any physical
changes to the reactor, fuel, plant
structures, support structures, water, or
land at the FNP site.
The proposed action is in accordance
with the licensee’s application dated
