SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The NRC is granting an exemption from Section VIII.B.6.b, Item (4), ‘‘Processes for Changes and Departures,’’ of appendix D, ‘‘Design Certification Rule for the AP1000,’’ to part 52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), and issuing License Amendment No. 40 to COLs, NPF–93 and NPF–94, to the licensee. The exemption is required by paragraph VIII.B.6.b of Section VIII, ‘‘Processes for Changes and Departures,’’ appendix D to 10 CFR part 52 to allow the licensee to change the designation of Tier 2* information. Specifically, with the requested amendment, the licensee sought to redesignate the Fire Area Figures, designated as Tier 2* in appendix D, as Tier 2. This requires an exemption, rather than the departure that would be required for changes to the figures that preserve the Tier 2* designation, because it has been established that departures do not alter the change control process applicable to specific sections of a design certification rule. Part of the justification for granting the exemption was provided by the review of the amendment. Because the exemption is necessary in order to issue the requested license amendment, the NRC granted the exemption and issued the amendment concurrently, rather than in sequence. This included issuing a combined safety evaluation containing the NRC staff’s review of both the exemption request and the license amendment. The exemption met all applicable regulatory criteria set forth in 10 CFR 50.12, 10 CFR 52.7, and 10 CFR 52.63(b)(1) of appendix D to 10 CFR part 52. The license amendment was found to be acceptable as well. The combined safety evaluation is available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15328A276. Identical exemption documents (except as needed to reflect the unique unit numbers and license numbers) were issued to the licensee for VCSNS Units 2 and 3 (COLs NPF–93 and NPF– 94). These documents can be found in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML15328A289 and ML15328A293, respectively. The exemption is reproduced (with the exception of abbreviated titles and additional citations) in Section II of this document. The amendment documents for COLs NPF–93 and NPF–94 are available in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML15328A281 and ML15328A284, respectively. A summary of the E:\FR\FM\08MRN1.SGM 08MRN1
