DPR–32 and DRP–37, which authorize operation of the Surry Power Station, Units 1 and 2 (Surry 1 and 2) respectively. The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the Commission) now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of two pressurized water reactors located in Surry County, Virginia. 2.0 Request/Action Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 26, ‘‘Fitness For Duty Programs,’’ Subpart I ‘‘Managing Fatigue,’’ requires that individuals described in 10 CFR 26.4(a)(1) through (a)(5) are subject to the work hour controls provided in 10 CFR 26.205. By letter dated February 10, 2011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML110450583), and supplemented on March 10, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110740442), and pursuant to 10 CFR 26.9 VEPCO doing business as Dominion requested an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 26.205(c) and (d) during declarations of severe weather conditions such as tropical storm and hurricane force winds at the Surry 1 and 2 site. A subsequent response to requests for additional information (RAI) is dated May 26, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML111470265). The requested exemption applies to individuals who perform duties identified in 10 CFR 26.4(a)(1) through (a)(5) who are designated to perform work as a member of the Surry 1 and 2 hurricane response organization (HRO). The exemption request states that the station HRO typically consists of PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 enough individuals to staff two 12-hour shifts of workers consisting of personnel from operations, maintenance, engineering, emergency planning, radiation protection, chemistry, site services and security to maintain the safe and secure operation of the plant. Entry conditions for the requested exemption occur when the site activates the station HRO and the Site Vice President (or his designee) determines that travel conditions to the site will potentially become hazardous such that HRO staffing will be required—based on verifiable weather conditions. Verifiable weather conditions are defined in the exemption request as when the National Weather Service issues an Inland High Wind Warning for Hurricane Force Winds for Surry County or when the Dominion Weather Center projects tropical storm or hurricane force winds onsite within 12 hours. After the high wind conditions pass, wind damage to the plant and surrounding area might preclude sufficient numbers of individuals from immediately returning to the site. Additionally, if mandatory civil evacuations were ordered, this would also delay the return of sufficient relief personnel. The exemption request states that the exemption will terminate when hurricane watches and warnings or inland hurricane watches and warnings have been cancelled; when weather conditions and highway infrastructure support safe travel and; when the Site Vice President or his designee determine that sufficient personnel who perform the duties identified in 10 CFR 26.4(a)(1) through (a)(5) are available to restore normal shift rotation and thereby meet the requirements of 10 CFR 26.205(c) and (d). 3.0 Discussion Pursuant to 10 CFR 26.09, the Commission may, upon application of an interested person or on its own initiative, grant exemptions from the requirements of 10 CFR part 26 when the exemptions are authorized by law and will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security or are otherwise in the public interest. Authorized By Law The exemption being requested for Surry 1 and 2 would allow the licensee site to not meet the work hour control requirements of 10 CFR 26.205(c) and (d), which would allow the sequester of specific individuals on site, prior and subsequent to severe weather conditions such as tropical storms and hurricanes. No law exists which precludes the activities covered by this exemption request. As stated above, 10 CFR 26.09 E:\FR\FM\22SEN1.SGM 22SEN1
