accidents. Therefore, 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25)(ii)–(v) are satisfied.
The NRC staff has further determined
that the requirements from which the
exemption is sought involve the factors
associated with 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25)(vi)(G) scheduling
requirements. Specifically, the proposed
exemption changes the EP exercise from
November 23, 2013, to February 2014.
Therefore, the criteria specified in 10
CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(G) is satisfied.
Accordingly, the exemption meets the
eligibility criteria for exclusion set forth
in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). Pursuant to 10
CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact
statement or environmental assessment
is required to be prepared with the
issuance of the exemption.
V. Conclusion
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR
50.12, 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, the special
circumstances required by 10 CFR
50.12(a)(ii) and (v), are present.
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR
50.12(a)(ii) and (v), the Commission
hereby grants EGC a one-time
exemption from the requirements of 10
CFR part 50, Appendix E, Section
IV.F.2.c., to conduct the specific offsite
portion of the Byron Station biennial EP
exercise required for 2013. The one-time
exemption permits the specific offsite
portion of the exercise to be conducted
in coordination with FEMA, NRC
Region III, and Byron Station as
scheduled in February 2014. As noted
above, the postponed aspects at the
offsite portions of the exercise were
conducted by the licensee on February
6, 2014.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 22nd
day of December 2014.

now or hereafter in effect. The facility
consists of a boiling-water reactor
located in Windham County, Vermont.
By letter dated September 23, 2013
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13273A204),
Entergy submitted Notification of
Permanent Cessation of Power
Operations for VY. In this letter, Entergy
provided notification to the NRC of its
intent to permanently cease power
operation at the end of the current
operating cycle, which is expected to
occur in the fourth calendar quarter of
2014. In addition, Entergy indicated
their intent to supplement the letter
certifying the date on which operations
have ceased, or will cease, in
accordance with § 50.82(a)(1)(i) of Title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR) and 10 CFR 50.4(b)(8).
On December 19, 2014, Entergy
submitted the PSDAR and DCE for VY

The PSDAR includes a description of
the planned decommissioning activities,
a proposed schedule for their
accomplishment, the site-specific DCE
(submitted concurrently), and a
discussion that provides the basis for
concluding that the environmental
impacts associated with the site-specific
decommissioning activities will be
bounded by appropriate, previously
issued generic and plant-specific
environmental impact statements.

II. Discussion
Entergy is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License No.
DPR-28. The license provides, among other things, that the facility is
subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the NRC
[[Page 1976]]
now or hereafter in effect. The facility consists of a boiling-water
reactor located in Windham County, Vermont.
By letter dated September 23, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No.
ML13273A204), Entergy submitted Notification of Permanent Cessation of
Power Operations for VY. In this letter, Entergy provided notification
to the NRC of its intent to permanently cease power operation at the
end of the current operating cycle, which is expected to occur in the
fourth calendar quarter of 2014. In addition, Entergy indicated their
intent to supplement the letter certifying the date on which operations
have ceased, or will cease, in accordance with Sec. 50.82(a)(1)(i) of
Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and 10 CFR
50.4(b)(8).
On December 19, 2014, Entergy submitted the PSDAR and DCE for VY in
accordance with Sec. 50.82(a)(4)(i) (ADAMS Accession No. ML14357A110).
The PSDAR includes a description of the planned decommissioning
activities, a proposed schedule for their accomplishment, the site-
specific DCE (submitted concurrently), and a discussion that provides
the basis for concluding that the environmental impacts associated with
the site-specific decommissioning activities will be bounded by
appropriate, previously issued generic and plant-specific environmental
impact statements.
III. Request for Comment and Public Meeting
The NRC is requesting public comments on the PSDAR and DCE for VY.
The NRC will conduct a public meeting to discuss the PSDAR and DCE and
