The fuel cladding itself is not an accident initiator and does not affect accident probability. 2. Does the proposed exemption create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated? Response: No. Use of Optimized ZIRLOTM clad fuel will not result in changes in the operation or configuration of the facility. Topical Report WCAP–12610– P–A & CENPD–404–P–A, Addendum 1– A, demonstrated that the material properties of Optimized ZIRLOTM are similar to those of standard ZIRLO®, thus precluding the possibility of the fuel cladding becoming an accident initiator and causing a new or different type of accident. Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any previously evaluated. 3. Does the proposed exemption involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety? Response: No. The proposed change will not involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety. Topical Report WCAP–12610–P– A & CENPD–404–P–A, Addendum 1–A, demonstrated that the material properties of the Optimized ZIRLOTM are not significantly different from those of standard ZIRLO®. Optimized ZIRLOTM is expected to perform similarly to standard ZIRLO® for all normal operating and accident scenarios, including both loss of coolant accident LOCA) and non-LOCA scenarios. For LOCA scenarios, where the slight difference is Optimized ZIRLOTM material properties relative to standard ZIRLO® could have some impact on the overall accident scenario, plant-specific LOCA analyses using Optimized ZIRLOTM properties will demonstrate that the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46 have been satisfied. Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed exemption presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in § 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of no significant hazards consideration is justified (i.e., satisfies the provisions of § 51.22(c)(9)(i)). cladding material at Ginna. Optimized ZIRLOTM has essentially the same properties are currently licensed ZIRLO®. The use of Optimized ZIRLOTM fuel rod cladding material will not significantly change the types of effluents that may be released offsite or significantly increase the amount of effluents that may be released offsite. Therefore, the provisions of § 51.22(c)(9)(ii) are satisfied. Requirements in § 51.22(c)(9)(ii) The proposed exemption would allow the use of Optimized ZIRLOTM fuel rod BILLING CODE 7590–01–P VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:22 Jun 27, 2017 Jkt 241001 Requirements in § 51.22(c)(9)(iii) The proposed exemption would allow the use of Optimized ZIRLOTM fuel rod cladding material at Ginna. Optimized ZIRLOTM has essentially the same properties are currently licensed ZIRLO®. The use of Optimized ZIRLOTM fuel rod cladding material at Ginna will not significantly increase individual occupational radiation exposure or significantly increase cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Therefore, the provisions of § 51.22(c)(9)(iii) are satisfied. Conclusion Based on the above, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed exemption meets the eligibility criteria for the categorical exclusion set forth in § 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, in accordance with § 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need to be prepared in connection with the NRC’s proposed issuance of this exemption. IV. Conclusion Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to § 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 are present. Therefore, the Commission hereby grants Exelon an exemption from certain requirements of § 50.46 and 10 CFR part 50, appendix K, to allow the use of Optimized ZIRLOTM fuel rod cladding material at Ginna.

The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. 1. Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend Rule 7014(j) to provide a second credit tier under the Nasdaq Growth Program (‘‘Program’’). Nasdaq introduced the Program in 2016.4 The purpose of the Program is to provide a credit per share executed for members that meet certain growth criteria. The credit is designed to provide an incentive to members that do not qualify for other credits under Rule 7018 in excess of the Program credit to increase their participation on the Exchange. The Program provides a member a $0.0025 per share executed credit in securities priced $1 or more per share if the member meets certain criteria. The credit is provided in lieu of other credits provided to the member for displayed quotes/orders (other than Supplemental Orders or Designated Retail Orders) that provide liquidity under Rule 7018, if the credit under the Nasdaq Growth Program is greater than the credit attained under Rule 7018. Rule 7014(j) currently provides three ways in which a member may qualify for the Program in a given month. First, the member may qualify for the Program by: (i) Adding greater than 750,000 shares a day on average during the month through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs; and (ii) increasing its shares of liquidity provided through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume by 20% versus the member’s Growth Baseline.5 Second, the member may qualify for the 4 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 78977 (September 29, 2016), 81 FR 69140 (October 5, 2016) (SR–NASDAQ–2016–132). 5 The Growth Baseline is defined as the member’s shares of liquidity provided in all securities through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume during the last month a member qualified for the Nasdaq Growth Program under current Rule 7014(j)(ii)(A) (increasing its Consolidated Volume by 20% versus its Growth Baseline). If a member has not yet qualified for a credit under this program, its August 2016 share of liquidity provided in all securities through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume will be used to establish a baseline. PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Program by: (i) Adding greater than 750,000 shares a day on average during the month through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs; and (ii) meeting the criteria set forth above (increasing its shares of liquidity provided through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume by 20% versus the member’s Growth Baseline) in the preceding month, and maintaining or increasing its shares of liquidity provided through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume as compared to the preceding month. Third, a member may qualify for the Program by: (i) Adding greater than 750,000 shares a day on average during the month through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs in three separate months; (ii) increasing its shares of liquidity provided through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume by 20% versus the member’s Growth Baseline in three separate months; and (iii) maintaining or increasing its shares of liquidity provided through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume compared to the growth baseline established when the member met the criteria for the third month. The Exchange is proposing to amend Rule 7014(j) to provide a second credit tier under the Program.6 Specifically, the Exchange is proposing a $0.0027 per share executed rebate in lieu of the current $0.0025 rebate. To qualify for the new rebate, a member must: (i) Add at least 0.04% or more [sic] of Consolidated Volume during the month through non-displayed orders on one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs; and (ii) increase its shares of liquidity provided through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs in all securities during the month as a percent of Consolidated Volume by 50% versus its August 2016 share of liquidity provided in all securities through one or more of its Nasdaq Market Center MPIDs as a percent of Consolidated Volume. Thus, the first requirement of the new tier requires a member to provide a significant level of Consolidated Volume through non-displayed 7 orders, which generally provide improvement to the size of orders executed on the 6 The Exchange is also proposing to renumber current Rule 7014(j) to account for the new credit tier and make [sic] consistent with the numbering convention used under Rule 7014. 7 Non-displayed orders are not displayed to other Participants, but nevertheless remain available for potential execution against incoming Orders until executed in full or cancelled. See Rule 4702(b)(3). E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM 28JNN1
