Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 164 / Wednesday, August 24, 2016 / Notices
As discussed above, the requested
exemption will exempt PG&E from
submitting LRA updates while the
NRC’s review of the application is
suspended. Because the NRC staff
would not review an update to the
DCPP LRA, should it be provided,
application of 10 CFR 54.21(b) is not
necessary to achieve the underlying
purpose of the rule. Therefore, special
circumstances exist under 10 CFR
50.12(a)(2)(ii).

Eligibility for Categorical Exclusion
From Environmental Review
With respect to the exemption’s
impact on the quality of the human
environment, the NRC has determined
that this specific exemption request is
eligible for categorical exclusion as
identified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). Under
10 CFR 51.22(c)(25), granting of an
exemption from the requirements of any
regulation of 10 CFR chapter 1 (which
includes 10 CFR 54.21(b)) is an action
that is a categorical exclusion, provided
that it meets the requirements of 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25)(i) through (vi). The NRC
staff’s determination that each of the
applicable criteria for this categorical
exclusion is met as follows:
I. 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i): There is no
significant hazards consideration.
Staff Analysis: The criteria for
determining if an exemption involves a
significant hazards consideration are
found in 10 CFR 50.92. The action
involves only changes regarding the
submission of updates to an application
for which the licensing review is
currently suspended. Therefore, there
are no significant hazard considerations
because granting the exemption would
not:
(1) Involve a significant increase in
the probability or consequences of an
accident previously evaluated; or
(2) Create the possibility of a new or
different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or
(3) Involve a significant reduction in
a margin of safety.
II. 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(ii): There is no
significant change in the types or
significant increase in the amounts of
any effluents that may be released
offsite.
Staff Analysis: The proposed action
involves only a change regarding the
submission of updates, which is
administrative in nature, and does not
involve any changes in the types or
significant increase in the amounts of
effluents that may be released offsite.
III. 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iii): There is
no significant increase in individual or
cumulative public or occupational
radiation exposure.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:16 Aug 23, 2016
Jkt 238001
Staff Analysis: Since the proposed
action involves only a change regarding
the submission of updates, which is
administrative in nature, it does not
contribute to any significant increase in
occupational or public radiation
exposure.
IV. 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iv): There is
no significant construction impact.
Staff Analysis: Since the proposed
action involves only a change regarding
the submission of updates, which is
administrative in nature; it does not
involve any construction impact.
V. 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(v): There is no
significant increase in the potential for
or consequences from radiological
accidents.
Staff Analysis: The proposed action
involves only a change regarding the
submission of updates, which is
administrative in nature and does not
impact the probability or consequences
of accidents.
VI. 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi): The
requirements from which this
exemption is sought involve 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25)(vi)(B) (reporting
requirements) and 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25)(vi)(G) (scheduling
requirements).
Staff Analysis: The exemption request
involves requirements in both of these
categories because it involves
suspending the requirement contained
in 10 CFR 54.21(b) to provide an update
to the DCPP LRA each year following
submittal of the LRA.
IV. Conclusions
The NRC has determined that,
pursuant to 10 CFR 54.15, and in
accordance with 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,
special circumstances exist under 10
CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii). Therefore, the NRC
hereby grants PG&E this exemption from
the requirements of 10 CFR 54.21(b) to
allow PG&E to dispense with the
submission of updates to the DCPP LRA
while the NRC’s review of the LRA is
suspended. Should PG&E resume the
license renewal process for DCPP, the
NRC will require it to provide an
amendment to the DCPP LRA that
identifies applicable changes to the CLB
of the facility since the period of time
covered in PG&E’s December 21, 2015,
update by a date agreed upon between
PG&E and the NRC.
Additionally, pursuant to 10 CFR
51.22, the Commission has determined
that the exemption request meets the
applicable categorical exclusion criteria
set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25), and the
granting of this exemption will not have
