Time, Monday through Friday,
excluding government holidays.
Participants who believe that they
have a good cause for not submitting
documents electronically must file an
exemption request, in accordance with
10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper
filing requesting authorization to
continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted
by: (1) First class mail addressed to the
Office of the Secretary of the
Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, DC 20555–
0001, Attention: Rulemaking and
Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier,
express mail, or expedited delivery
service to the Office of the Secretary,
Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North,
11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville,
Maryland, 20852, Attention:
Rulemaking and Adjudications Staff.
Participants filing a document in this
manner are responsible for serving the
document on all other participants.
Filing is considered complete by firstclass mail as of the time of deposit in
the mail, or by courier, express mail, or
expedited delivery service upon
depositing the document with the
provider of the service. A presiding
officer, having granted an exemption
request from using E-Filing, may require
a participant or party to use E-Filing if
the presiding officer subsequently
determines that the reason for granting
the exemption from use of E-Filing no
longer exists.
Documents submitted in adjudicatory
proceedings will appear in the NRC’s
electronic hearing docket which is
available to the public at https://ehd1.
nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded pursuant
to an order of the Commission, or the
presiding officer. Participants are
requested not to include personal
privacy information, such as social
security numbers, home addresses, or
home phone numbers in their filings,
unless an NRC regulation or other law
requires submission of such
information. However, a request to
intervene will require including
information on local residence in order
to demonstrate a proximity assertion of
interest in the proceeding. With respect
to copyrighted works, except for limited
excerpts that serve the purpose of the
adjudicatory filings and would
constitute a Fair Use application,
participants are requested not to include
copyrighted materials in their
submission.

Date of amendment request: February
17, 2014.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:34 Mar 17, 2014
Jkt 232001
Description of amendment request:
The amendments revise Technical
Specification (TS) Table 3.3.4–1,
Remote Shutdown System
Instrumentation and Controls as a result
of an inoperable instrumentation
function on Unit 2. Table 3.3.4–1
specifies requirements for Function 3.b.,
Decay Heat Removal via Steam
Generators (SGs)—Reactor Coolant
System (RCS) Cold Leg Temperature—
Loop A and B as ‘‘1 per loop’’. Loop A
of this function is presently inoperable
on Unit 2 due to a failed resistance
temperature detector (RTD). Loop B of
this function is operable with a reliable
maintenance history. The failed RTD on
Loop A cannot be replaced in the
present operating mode of Unit 2 (Mode
1). Therefore, Duke Energy requested
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) approval to allow
Unit 2 to remain in Mode 1 until such
time that the failed RTD can be
replaced. The replacement would occur
in the next refueling outage or the next
outage that would facilitate
replacement, whichever occurs first.
Date of issuance: February 27, 2014.
Effective date: As of the date of
issuance and shall be implemented
within 30 days from the date of
issuance.
Amendment Nos.: 272 and 268.
Renewed Facility Operating License
Nos. NPF–35 and NPF–52: Amendments
revised the licenses and the technical
specifications.
Public comments requested as to
proposed no significant hazards
consideration (NSHC): Yes. The NRC
staff noticed the February 17, 2014,
application in the Rock Hill, SC local
newspaper, The Herald on Friday,
February 21, 2014, and Saturday,
February 22, 2014. The notice provided
an opportunity to submit comments on
the Commission’s proposed NSHC
determination. No comments have been
received.
The Commission’s related evaluation
of the amendment, finding of exigent
circumstances, state consultation, and
final NSHC determination are contained
in a safety evaluation dated February 27,
2014.

NRC Staff Determination of Completion
of ITAAC
The NRC staff has determined that the
inspections, tests, and analyses have
been successfully completed, and that
the specified acceptance criteria are met
for Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station
Unit 2, ITAAC 3.3.00.09. This notice
fulfills the staff’s obligations under 10
CFR 52.99(e)(1) to publish a notice in
the Federal Register of the NRC staff’s
determination of the successful
completion of inspections, tests and
analyses.
The documentation of the NRC staff’s
determination is in the ITAAC Closure
Verification Evaluation Form (VEF),
dated January 31, 2014 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML14028A247). The VEF
is a form that represents the NRC staff’s
structured process for reviewing ICNs.
The ICN presents a narrative description
of how the ITAAC was completed, and
the NRC’s ICN review process involves
a determination on whether, among
other things, (1) the ICN provides
sufficient information, including a
summary of the methodology used to
perform the ITAAC, to demonstrate that
the inspections, tests, and analyses have
been successfully completed; (2) the
ICN provides sufficient information to
demonstrate that the acceptance criteria
are met; and (3) any inspections for the
ITAAC have been completed and any
ITAAC findings associated with the
ITAAC have been closed.
The NRC staff’s determination of the
successful completion of this ITAAC is
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:34 Mar 17, 2014
Jkt 232001
based on information available at this
time and is subject to the licensee’s
ability to maintain the condition that
the acceptance criteria are met. If new
information disputes the NRC staff’s
determination, this ITAAC will be
reopened as necessary. The NRC staff’s
determination will be used to support a
subsequent finding, pursuant to 10 CFR
52.103(g), at the end of construction that
all acceptance criteria in the combined
license are met. The ITAAC closure
process is not finalized for this ITAAC
until the NRC makes an affirmative
finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any
future updates to the status of this
ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC’s
Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By
application dated July 17, 2013, as
supplemented December 5, 2013, NSPM
submitted to the NRC, in accordance
with Part 72 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), a request
to amend Special Nuclear Materials
License No. SNM–2506 for its PI ISFSI
site located in Welch, Minnesota.
License No. SNM–2506 authorizes
NSPM to receive, possess, store, and
transfer spent nuclear fuel and
associated radioactive materials
resulting from the operation of the PI
Power Plant in an ISFSI at the power
plant site for a term of 20 years.
Specifically, the amendment proposed
lowering the allowed thermal
conductance values for components
used to fabricate storage baskets utilized
at the PI ISFSI.
The NRC issued a letter dated August
9, 2013, notifying NSPM that the
application was acceptable for review.
In accordance with 10 CFR 72.16, a
Notice of Docketing was published in
