compliance with the fixed site physical
protection requirements of 10 CFR part
73 would result in costs significantly in
excess of those incurred by others
similarly situated. Based on the above,
the NRC has determined that the
removal of the fuel containing SNM at
the 10 CFR part 50 licensed site
constitutes special circumstances. With
the SNM removed from the Unit 1 site,
the protection of the SNM is no longer
a requirement of the licensee’s 10 CFR
part 50 license. With no SNM to protect,
there is no need for the physical
protection requirements of 10 CFR part
73, which includes a safeguards
contingency plan or procedures,
physical security plan, guard training
and qualification plan, or cyber security
plan for the DNPS Unit 1, 10 CFR part
50 licensed site. The requirements for
protection of safeguards information,
physical protection of SNM in transit,
and records and reports remain
applicable.
4.0 Conclusion
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR
50.12(a), an 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 based on the continued
maintenance of appropriate security
requirements for the SNM. Additionally,
special circumstances are present based
on the removal of the spent nuclear fuel
from the 10 CFR part 50 licensed site.
Therefore, the Commission hereby
grants Exelon Nuclear an exemption
from the requirements of 10 CFR
50.54(p) at DNPS Unit 1.
The Commission has also determined
that, pursuant to 10 CFR 73.5, an
exemption is authorized by law, will not
endanger life or property or the common
defense and security, and is otherwise
in the public interest because the
security requirements for the spent fuel
containing SNM are no longer the
responsibility of the licensee. Therefore,
the Commission hereby grants Exelon
Nuclear an exemption from the fixed
site physical protection requirements of
10 CFR part 73 at DNPS Unit 1. The
fixed site physical protection
requirements of 10 CFR part 73 are
delineated in 73.20, 74.40, 73.45, 73.46,
73.50, 73.51, 73.54, 73.55, 73.56, 73.57,
73.58, 73.59, 73.60, 73.61, 73.67,
Appendix B and Appendix C. The
requirements for protection of
safeguards information, physical
protection of SNM in transit, and
records and reports, contained in these
or other sections of Part 73 continue to
apply. To the extent that the licensee’s
request for an exemption from 10 CFR
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:47 May 23, 2011
Jkt 223001
part 73 included the requirements other
than for the fixed site physical
protection requirements, that request is
denied.
Part of this licensing action meets the
categorical exclusion provision in 10
CFR part 51.22(c)(25), as part of this
action is an exemption from the
requirements of the Commission’s
regulations and (i) There is no
significant hazards consideration; (ii)
there is no significant change in the
types or significant increase in the
amounts of any effluents that may be
released offsite; (iii) there is no
significant increase in individual or
cumulative public or occupational
radiation exposure; (iv) there is no
significant construction impact; (v)
there is no significant increase in the
potential for or consequences from
radiological accidents; and (vi) the
requirements from which an exemption
is sought involve safeguard plans.
Therefore, this part of the action does
not require either an environmental
assessment or an environmental impact
statement.
Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.32, and
51.35, an environmental assessment and
finding of no significant impact related
to part of this exemption was published
in the Federal Register on May 17, 2011
(76 FR 28480). Based upon the
environmental assessment, the
Commission has determined that
issuance of this exemption will not have
a significant effect on the quality of the
human environment.
These exemptions are effective
immediately.

of May 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Introduction
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or the Commission)
is considering issuance of an
amendment to Facility Operating
License Nos. NPF–68 and NPF–81
issued to Southern Nuclear Operating
Company, Inc. (the licensee), for
operation of the Vogtle Electric
Generating Plant, Units 1 and 2 (VEGP),
located in Burke County, Georgia.
The proposed amendment would
revise license and Technical
Specifications (TSs) 3.3.1 ‘‘Reactor Trip
System instrumentation,’’ and TS 3.3.2,
‘‘Engineered Safety Features Actuation
System (ESFAS) Instrumentation.’’
Specifically, the amendment proposes
the correction of a non-conservative
error associated with the ESFAS
Permissive P–14, ‘‘Steam Generator
Water Level High-High’’ instrument
setpoint and associated allowable value.
The proposed change is described in
Technical Specification Task Force
Traveler TSTF–493–A, Revision 4,
‘‘Clarify Application of Setpoint
Methodology for LSSS [Limiting Safety
System Settings] Functions,’’ Option A
as described in the Notice of
Availability published in the Federal
Register on May 11, 2010 (75 FR 26294).
TSTF–493–A revises the Improved
Standard TS to address Nuclear
Regulatory Commission concerns that
the TS requirement for LSSS may not be
fully in compliance with the intent of
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) 50.36.
Before issuance of the proposed
license amendment, the Commission
will have made findings required by the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(the Act), and the Commission’s
regulations.
The Commission has made a
proposed determination that the
amendment request involves no
significant hazards consideration. Under
the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR
50.92, this means that operation of the
facility in accordance with the proposed
amendment would not (1) involve a
significant increase in the probability or
