of the SNM from the site obviates the
need for communications between the
alarm stations and the MCR or LLEAs
and the testing of such communications
systems. Therefore, the requested
exemptions are granted.
The licensee has requested an
exemption from the safeguards
contingency plan requirement in 10 CFR
73.55(c)(5). With the SNM removed
from the TMI Unit 2 site, the protection
of the SNM is no longer required of Unit
2. Because there is no SNM to protect,
there is no need for the physical
protection requirements of 10 CFR 73.55
(c)(5) which requires a safeguards
contingency plan. Therefore the
exemption is granted.
Therefore, the continued application
of the previously discussed 10 CFR Part
73 requirements to TMI Unit 2, are not
necessary to achieve the underlying
purpose of the rule. Additionally, with
the removal of the spent nuclear fuel
from the site, the radioactive materials
remaining on the 10 CFR Part 50
licensed site would be comparable to a
source and byproduct licensee that uses
general industrial security (i.e., locks
and barriers) to protect the public health
and safety. As stated in the regulations,
Part 73, ‘‘* * * prescribes requirements
for the establishment and maintenance
of a physical protection system which
will have capabilities for the protection
of special nuclear material at fixed sites
and in transit and of plants in which
special nuclear material is used.’’ The
possession and responsibility for the
security of the SNM was transferred to
INEEL and is no longer the
responsibility of the licensee. Therefore,
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 a cyber security plan, target
sets, bullet resisting physical barriers at
the MCR, vital area requirements for the
MCR or SFP, waterway security,
continuous communications with the
MCR or LLEA, or a safeguards
contingency plan for the TMI Unit 2, 10
CFR Part 50 licensed site.
4.0 Conclusion
Accordingly, the Commission has
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 GPU
Nuclear, Inc., an exemption from the
physical protection requirements of 10
CFR 73.55 (b)(4), (f)(1), (f)(3), (f)(4),

(e)(5), (e)(9)(v)(A), (e)(9)(v)(B),
(e)(10)(ii)(A), (j)(4)(ii), (n)(5), and (c)(5)
at TMI Unit 2.
This licensing action meets the
categorical exclusion provision in 10
CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(F). This action is an
exemption from the requirements of the
Commission’s regulations. For the
reasons detailed above in the staff’s
analysis of the request, (i) the exemption
involves 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 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. The requirements from which
an exemption is sought involve
safeguard plans and is one of the
categories of exemptions identified in
10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(F) as
appropriate for application of this
categorical exclusion.
Therefore, this action does not require
either an environmental assessment or
an environmental impact statement.
These exemptions are effective
immediately.

of April 2013.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION
[Release No. 34–69356; File No. SR–ICC–
2013–05]
Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE
Clear Credit LLC; Notice of Filing and
Order Granting Accelerated Approval
of a Proposed Rule Change, as
Modified by Amendment No. 1, Related
to Regulatory Reporting of Swap Data
April 9, 2013.
Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(‘‘Exchange Act’’),1 and Rule 19b–4,2
notice is hereby given that on March 25,
2013, ICE Clear Credit LLC (‘‘ICC’’) filed
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) the
proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1,3 and as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have
been substantially prepared by the
clearing agency. The Commission is
publishing this notice and order to
solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons and to
approve the proposed rule change on an
accelerated basis.
I. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the
Terms of Substance of the Proposed
Rule Change
ICC proposes to add, in Chapter 2 of
the ICC Rules, Rule 211 (Regulatory
Reporting of Swap Data). ICC proposes
to add Rule 211 in order to implement
swap data repository (‘‘SDR’’) reporting
(‘‘SDR Reporting’’) consistent with the
Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (‘‘CFTC’’) Regulations
relating to the regulatory reporting of
swap data, specifically Part 45 of CFTC
Regulations (‘‘Part 45’’).4 ICC currently
complies with the CFTC’s Regulations
relating to the regulatory reporting of
swap data by reporting to
IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.’s SDR,
selected by ICC. In order to codify ICC’s
practice of reporting relevant Part 45
data to the SDR selected by ICC, which
is intended to meet ICC’s and its
Clearing Participants’ swap data
reporting obligations under Part 45, ICC
proposes to add, in Chapter 2 of the ICC
Rules, Rule 211 (Regulatory Reporting of
Swap Data).

II. Clearing Agency’s Statement of the
Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the
Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the
clearing agency included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for
the proposed rule change and discussed
any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of these
statements may be examined at the
places specified in Item III below. The
clearing agency has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant
aspects of such statements.5
(A) Clearing Agency’s Statement of the
Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the
Proposed Rule Change
ICC proposes to add, in Chapter 2 of
the ICC Rules, Rule 211 in order to
implement SDR Reporting consistent
with CFTC Regulations 45.3,6 45.4(b),7
and 45.9.8 Proposed ICC Rule 211 states
that for the purposes of complying with
applicable CFTC rules governing the
regulatory reporting of swaps, ICC will
report all creation and continuation data
to IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.’s SDR.
In addition, proposed ICC Rule 211
provides that, upon the request of an
ICC Clearing Participant that is a
counterparty to a swap cleared at ICC,
ICC shall provide the same creation and
continuation data to the SDR selected by
the Clearing Participant.
Proposed Rule 211 is consistent with
the CFTC’s Regulation 45.3 9 and
45.4(b),10 which requires that creation
and continuation data must be reported
by both the derivatives clearing
organization and the reporting
counterparty. ICC currently complies
with the CFTC’s Regulation 45.3 11 and
45.4(b) 12 by reporting swap data to
IntercontinentalExchange, Inc.’s SDR
selected by ICC. In order to codify ICC’s
practice of reporting relevant Part 45
data to the SDR selected by ICC, ICC
proposes to add, in Chapter 2 of the ICC
Rules, Rule 211 (Regulatory Reporting of
Swap Data).
The addition of ICC Rule 211 also is
in response to swap dealers’ mandatory
compliance with CFTC Regulation
45.3 13 and 45.4,14 which was required
by February 28, 2013. ICC believes that
proposed ICC Rule 211 is also consistent

summaries prepared by the clearing agency.
