SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is granting an exemption
from Paragraph B of Section III, ‘‘Scope
and Contents,’’ of appendix D, ‘‘Design
Certification Rule for the AP1000,’’ to
part 52 of title 10 of the Code of Federal
E:\FR\FM\02SEN1.SGM
02SEN1
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 171 / Friday, September 2, 2016 / Notices
Regulations (10 CFR), and issuing
License Amendment No. 50 to COLs,
NPF–93 and NPF–94, to the licensee.
The exemption is required by Paragraph
A.4 of Section VIII, ‘‘Processes for
Changes and Departures,’’ appendix D,
to 10 CFR part 52 to allow the licensee
to depart from Tier 1 information. With
the requested amendment, the licensee
sought proposed changes that would
revise the Updated Final Safety
Analysis Report in the form of
departures from the incorporated plantspecific Design Control Document Tier
2 information. The proposed
amendment also involves related
changes to plant-specific Tier 1
information, with corresponding
changes to the associated COL
Appendix C information. Specifically,
the licensee requested reconfiguration
and relocation of the diverse actuation
system cabinets.
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 Section
VIII.A.4 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. ML16203A071.
Identical exemption documents
(except for referenced unit numbers and
license numbers) were issued to the
licensee for VCSNS Units 2 and 3 (COLs
NPF–93 and NPF–94). The exemption
documents for VCSNS Units 2 and 3 can
be found in ADAMS under Accession
Nos. ML16202A516 and ML16202A518,
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.
ML16202A508 and ML16202A514,
respectively. A summary of the
amendment documents is provided in
Section III of this document.
II. Exemption
Reproduced below is the exemption
document issued to Summer Units 2
and Unit 3. It makes reference to the
combined safety evaluation that
provides the reasoning for the findings
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:25 Sep 01, 2016
Jkt 238001
made by the NRC (and listed under Item
1) in order to grant the exemption:
1. In a letter dated November 4, 2015,
the licensee requested from the
Commission an exemption from the
provisions of 10 CFR part 52, appendix
D, Section III.B, as part of license
amendment request 15–04, ‘‘Diverse
Actuation System (DAS) Cabinet
Changes (LAR–15–04).’’
For the reasons set forth in Section
3.1, ‘‘Evaluation of Exemption,’’ of the
NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation, which
can be found in ADAMS under
Accession No. ML16203A071, the
Commission finds that:
A. The exemption is authorized by
law;
B. the exemption presents no undue
risk to public health and safety;
C. the exemption is consistent with
the common defense and security;
D. special circumstances are present
in that the application of the rule in this
circumstance is not necessary to serve
the underlying purpose of the rule;
E. the special circumstances outweigh
any decrease in safety that may result
from the reduction in standardization
caused by the exemption; and
F. the exemption will not result in a
significant decrease in the level of safety
otherwise provided by the design.
2. Accordingly, the licensee is granted
an exemption from the certified DCD
Tier 1 information, with corresponding
changes to Appendix C of the Facility
Combined Licenses as described in the
licensee’s request dated November 4,
2015. This exemption is related to, and
necessary for, the granting of License
Amendment No. 50, which is being
issued concurrently with this
exemption.
3. As explained in Section 5.0,
‘‘Environmental Consideration,’’ of the
NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation (ADAMS
Accession No. ML16203A071), this
exemption meets the eligibility criteria
for categorical exclusion set forth in 10
CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to
10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment needs to be prepared in
connection with the issuance of the
exemption.
4. This exemption is effective as of the
date of its issuance.
III. License Amendment Request
By letter dated November 4, 2015, the
licensee requested that the NRC amend
the COLs for VCSNS, Units 2 and 3,
COLs NPF–93 and NPF–94. The
proposed amendment is described in
Section I of this Federal Register Notice.
The Commission has determined for
these amendments that the application
complies with the standards and
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
60749
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the
Commission’s rules and regulations.
The Commission has made appropriate
findings as required by the Act and the
Commission’s rules and regulations in
10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in
the license amendment.
A notice of consideration of issuance
of amendment to facility operating
license or combined license, as
applicable, proposed no significant
hazards consideration determination,
and opportunity for a hearing in
connection with these actions, was
published in the Federal Register on
January 19, 2016 (81 FR 2915). No
comments were received during the 30day comment period.
The Commission has determined that
these amendments satisfy the criteria for
categorical exclusion in accordance
with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant
to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment need be prepared for these
amendments.
IV. Conclusion
Using the reasons set forth in the
combined safety evaluation, the staff
granted the exemption and issued the
amendment that the licensee requested
on November 4, 2015.
The exemption and amendment were
issued on July 20, 2016 as part of a
combined package to the licensee
(ADAMS Accession No. ML16202A486).
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 26th day
of August 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is granting an exemption from Paragraph B of Section III,
``Scope and Contents,'' of appendix D, ``Design Certification Rule for

are available in ADAMS under Accession Nos. ML16202A508 and
ML16202A514, respectively. A summary of the amendment documents is
provided in Section III of this document.
II. Exemption
Reproduced below is the exemption document issued to Summer Units 2
and Unit 3. It makes reference to the combined safety evaluation that
provides the reasoning for the findings made by the NRC (and listed
under Item 1) in order to grant the exemption:
1. In a letter dated November 4, 2015, the licensee requested from
the Commission an exemption from the provisions of 10 CFR part 52,
appendix D, Section III.B, as part of license amendment request 15-04,
``Diverse Actuation System (DAS) Cabinet Changes (LAR-15-04).''
For the reasons set forth in Section 3.1, ``Evaluation of
Exemption,'' of the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation, which can be found
in ADAMS under Accession No. ML16203A071, the Commission finds that:
A. The exemption is authorized by law;
B. the exemption presents no undue risk to public health and

C. the exemption is consistent with the common defense and

D. special circumstances are present in that the application of the
rule in this circumstance is not necessary to serve the underlying
purpose of the rule;
E. the special circumstances outweigh any decrease in safety that
may result from the reduction in standardization caused by the
exemption; and
F. the exemption will not result in a significant decrease in the
level of safety otherwise provided by the design.
2. Accordingly, the licensee is granted an exemption from the
certified DCD Tier 1 information, with corresponding changes to
Appendix C of the Facility Combined Licenses as described in the
licensee's request dated November 4, 2015. This exemption is related
to, and necessary for, the granting of License Amendment No. 50, which
is being issued concurrently with this exemption.
3. As explained in Section 5.0, ``Environmental Consideration,'' of
the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation (ADAMS Accession No. ML16203A071),
this exemption meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion
set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR
51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment
needs to be prepared in connection with the issuance of the exemption.
4. This exemption is effective as of the date of its issuance.
III. License Amendment Request
By letter dated November 4, 2015, the licensee requested that the
NRC amend the COLs for VCSNS, Units 2 and 3, COLs NPF-93 and NPF-94.
The proposed amendment is described in Section I of this Federal
Register Notice.
The Commission has determined for these amendments that the
application complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic
Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules
and regulations. The Commission has made appropriate findings as
required by the Act and the Commission's rules and regulations in 10
CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license amendment.
A notice of consideration of issuance of amendment to facility
operating license or combined license, as applicable, proposed no
significant hazards consideration determination, and opportunity for a
hearing in connection with these actions, was published in the Federal

during the 30-day comment period.
The Commission has determined that these amendments satisfy the

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact
statement or environmental assessment need be prepared for these
amendments.
