Background Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, ‘‘Enforcement Discretion for Operating Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion Plants.’’ The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period on this information collection on April 25, 2017 (82 FR 19094). 1.

Abstract: The NRC’s Enforcement Policy includes the circumstances in which the NRC may grant a NOED. On occasion, circumstances arise when a power plant licensee’s compliance with a Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation or any other license condition would involve an unnecessary plant shutdown or transient. Similarly, for a gaseous diffusion plant, circumstances may arise where compliance with a Technical Safety Requirement (TSR) or other condition would unnecessarily call for a total plant shutdown, or, compliance would unnecessarily place the plant in a condition where safety, safeguards, or security features were degraded or inoperable. In these circumstances, a licensee or certificate holder may request that the NRC exercise enforcement discretion, and the NRC staff may choose to not enforce the applicable TS, TSR, or other license or certificate condition. This enforcement discretion is designated as a NOED. A licensee or certificate holder seeking the issuance of a NOED must document and submit to the NRC by letter, in accordance with Inspection Manual Chapter 0410 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13071A487), the safety basis for the request, including an evaluation of the safety significance and potential consequences of the proposed request, a description of proposed compensatory measures, a justification for the duration of the request, the basis for the licensee’s or certificate holder’s conclusion that the request does not have a potential adverse impact on the public health and safety, and does not involve adverse consequences to the environment, and any other information the NRC staff deems necessary before making a decision to exercise discretion.

ACTION: License amendment request; opportunity to comment, request a hearing, and petition for leave to intervene; order imposing procedures. AGENCY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) received and is considering the approval of three amendment requests. The amendment requests are for Vermont Yankee Power Station, Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Units 2 and 3; and Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 3 and 4. For each amendment request, the NRC proposes to determine that they involve no significant hazards consideration. Because the amendment requests contain sensitive unclassified nonsafeguards information (SUNSI) and/or safeguards information (SGI), an order imposes procedures to obtain access to SUNSI and SGI for contention preparation. SUMMARY: Comments must be filed by September 7, 2017. A request for a hearing must be filed by October 10, 2017. Any potential party as defined in § 2.4 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), who believes access to SUNSI and/or SGI is necessary to respond to this notice must request document access by August 18, 2017.

II. Background

    Under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently submitted a request for renewal of 
an existing collection of information to OMB for review entitled, 
``Enforcement Discretion for Operating Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion 
Plants.'' The NRC hereby informs potential respondents that an agency 
may not conduct or sponsor, and that a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.
    The NRC published a Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment 
period on this information collection on April 25, 2017 (82 FR 19094).
    1. The title of the information collection: Enforcement Discretion 
for Operating Reactors and Gaseous Diffusion Plants.
    2. OMB approval number: 3150-0136.
    3. Type of submission: Extension.
    4. The form number if applicable: N/A.
    5. How often the collection is required or requested: On Occasion.
    6. Who will be required or asked to respond: Those licensees that 
voluntarily request enforcement discretion through the NOED process.
    7. The estimated number of annual responses: 8.
    8. The estimated number of annual respondents: 4.
    9. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to 
comply with the information collection requirement or request: 680 (600 
reporting + 80 recordkeeping).
    10. Abstract: The NRC's Enforcement Policy includes the 
circumstances in which the NRC may grant a NOED. On occasion, 
circumstances arise when a power plant licensee's compliance with a 
Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation or any 
other license condition would involve an unnecessary plant shutdown or 
transient. Similarly, for a gaseous diffusion plant, circumstances may 
arise where compliance with a Technical Safety Requirement (TSR) or 
other condition would unnecessarily call for a total plant shutdown, 
or, compliance would unnecessarily place the plant in a condition where 
safety, safeguards, or security features were degraded or inoperable.
    In these circumstances, a licensee or certificate holder may 
request that the NRC exercise enforcement discretion, and the NRC staff 
may choose to not enforce the applicable TS, TSR, or other license or 
certificate condition. This enforcement discretion is designated as a 
NOED.
    A licensee or certificate holder seeking the issuance of a NOED 
must document and submit to the NRC by letter, in accordance with 
Inspection Manual Chapter 0410 (ADAMS Accession No. ML13071A487), the 
safety basis for the request, including an evaluation of the safety 
significance and potential consequences of the proposed request, a 
description of proposed compensatory measures, a justification for the 
duration of the request, the basis for the licensee's or certificate 
holder's conclusion that the request does not have a potential adverse 
impact on the public health and safety, and does not involve adverse 
consequences to the environment, and any other information the NRC 
staff deems necessary before making a decision to exercise discretion.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of August, 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

NRC Clearance Officer, Office of the Chief Information Officer.
