Therefore, the common defense and security is not impacted by this exemption. srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES Special Circumstances Special circumstances, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(iii) is present whenever ‘‘compliance would result in undue hardship or other costs that are significantly in excess of those contemplated when the regulation as adopted, or that are significantly in excess of those incurred by others similarly situated.’’ The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 50.10 is to define clearly the licensing requirements for a LWA. The applicant has demonstrated and the NRC staff has confirmed that the influence of the CFRWs on interactions with the SSCs will have a negligible nexus to safety. The applicant also cites undue hardship or other costs as a special circumstance that would warrant granting this exemption. The applicant has provided two potentially viable alternate construction plans to avoid delay in their schedule: (1) Redesign the CFRWs to make it more practical to remove prior to fuel load and (2) increase the size of the excavation and locate the crane in the excavation. STPNOC states that both options will increase the construction cost by $22 million and $260 million respectively. Therefore, since the underlying purpose of 10 CFR 50.10 is still being achieved concerning the safety of the SSCs during construction activities and the applicant has demonstrated an undue hardship, the special circumstance required by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(iii) for the granting of an exemption from 10 CFR 50.10 exists. The applicant has also provided information on this proposed action pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(b) which states any person may request an exemption permitting the conduct of activities prior to the issuance of the construction permit prohibited by 10 CFR 50.10. The balancing factors for granting such an exemption are evaluated in the environmental assessment (EA) that is attached to this package. The ADAMS Accession number for this associated EA is ML101580541. 4.0 Conclusion Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a) and 10 CFR 50.12(b), the exemption is authorized by law, will not present an undue risk to the public health and safety, and is consistent with the common defense and security. Also, special circumstances are present. Therefore, the Commission hereby VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:04 Nov 12, 2010 Jkt 223001 grants South Texas Project Nuclear Operating Company an exemption from the requirements in 10 CFR 50.10 for the installation of the CFRWs for Units 3 and 4. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the Commission has determined that the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment (75 FR 67784). This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland on November 5, 2010. For the Commission. David B.

    On November 5, 2010, the Postal Service filed a notice announcing 
that it has entered into five additional Global Expedited package 
Services 3 (GEPS 3) contracts.\1\ The Postal Service believes

the instant contracts are functionally equivalent to previously 
submitted GEPS contracts, and are supported by Governors' Decision No. 
08-7, attached to the Notice and originally filed in Docket No. CP2008-
4. Id. at 1, Attachment 3. The Notice explains that Order No. 86, which 
established GEPS 1 as a product, also authorized functionally 
equivalent agreements to be included within the product, provided that 
they meet the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 3633. Id. at 2. In Order No. 
290, the Commission approved the GEPS 2 product.\2\ In Order No. 503, 
the Commission approved the GEPS 3 product. Additionally, the Postal 
Service requested to have the contract in Docket No. CP2010-71 serve as 
the baseline contract for future functional equivalence analyses of the 
GEPS 3 product.

    The instant contracts. The Postal Service filed the instant 
contracts pursuant to 39 CFR 3015.5. In addition, the Postal Service 
contends that each contract is in accordance with Order No. 86. The 
term of each contract is one year from the date the Postal Service 
notifies the customer that all necessary regulatory approvals have been 
received. Notice at 3.
    In support of its Notice, the Postal Service filed four attachments 
as follows:
     Attachments 1A through 1E--redacted copies of the five 
contracts and applicable annexes;
     Attachments 2A through 2E--certified statements required 
by 39 CFR 3015.5(c)(2) for each contract;
     Attachment 3--a redacted copy of Governors' Decision No. 
08-7 which establishes prices and classifications for GEPS contracts, a 
description of applicable GEPS contracts, formulas for prices, an 
analysis of the formulas, and certification of the Governors' vote; and
     Attachment 4--an application for non-public treatment of 
materials to maintain redacted portions of the contracts and supporting 
documents under seal.
    The Notice advances reasons why the instant GEPS 3 contracts fit 
within the Mail Classification Schedule language for the GEPS 3 
product. The Postal Service identifies customer-specific information 
and general contract terms that distinguish the instant contracts from 
the baseline GEPS 3 agreement. Id. at 4-5. It states that the 
differences, which include price variations based on updated costing 
information and volume commitments, do not alter the contracts' 
functional equivalency. Id. at 3-4. The Postal Service asserts that 
``[b]ecause the agreements incorporate the same cost attributes and 
methodology, the relevant characteristics of these five GEPS contracts 
are similar, if not the same, as the relevant characteristics of 
previously filed contracts.'' Id. at 4.
    The Postal Service concludes that its filings demonstrate that each 
of the new GEPS 3 contracts complies with the requirements of 39 U.S.C. 
3633 and is functionally equivalent to the baseline GEPS 3 contract. 
Therefore, it requests that the instant contracts be included within 
the GEPS 3 product. Id. at 5.
