Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 21 / Thursday, February 2, 2017 / Notices
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. ML16301A270.
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. ML16301A217 and ML16301A229,
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.
ML16301A198 and ML16301A203,
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 VCSNS 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 June 2, 2016, 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
16–02, ‘‘Passive Core Cooling System
(PXS) Design Changes to Address
Potential Gas Intrusion (LAR–16–02).’’
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. ML16301A270, 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
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 June 2, 2016.
This exemption is related to, and
necessary for, the granting of License
Amendment No. 56, 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. ML16301A270), 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 June 2, 2016, 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 Register on
September 13, 2016 (81 FR 62926). 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 June 2, 2016. The exemption and
amendment were issued on November
25, 2016 as part of a combined package
to the licensee (ADAMS Accession No.
ML16301A175).
