ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:
The National Science Foundation’s IT
Security and Privacy program includes
policies, plans, training, and technical
safeguards to protect sensitive
information, which includes personally
identifiable information (PII). NSF
routinely reviews PII in IT systems in
addition to monitoring the many
controls in place to assure that PII is
appropriately protected. NSF’s major
applications and general support
systems are assessed and authorized by
NSF’s continuous monitoring and
ongoing authorization program. The
authorization process requires a
thorough security and privacy control
review.
All NSF systems are covered by a
system security plan, and major
applications and general support
systems are authorized to operate.
Applications and devices hosted on the
NSF network are subjected to extensive
vulnerability scanning and compliance
checking against standard security
configurations. Robust virus protection
capabilities, anti-malware, and network
intrusion detection and prevention
devices provide 24/7 protection against
external threats. NSF’s strong access
controls ensure that resources are made
available only to authorized users,
programs, processes or systems by
PO 00000

reference to rules of access that are
defined by attributes and policies.
NSF uses the capabilities of a Trusted
internet Connections (TIC) compliant
provider for routing agency network
traffic and uses the federally provided
intrusion detection system (IDS),
including advanced continuous
monitoring and risk management
analysis. NSF has a well-established
computer security incident response
program. NSF’s incident response
procedures include a strong digital
forensics capability to investigate and
review data and identify relevant
evidence and malicious activity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC is granting exemptions 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
Regulations (10 CFR) and issuing
License Amendment Nos. 100 and 99 to
COLs, NPF–91 and NPF–92,
respectively, to the licensee. The
exemptions are 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
proposes changes to the Updated Final
Safety Analysis Report in the form of
departures from the Plant-Specific
Design Control Document (PS–DCD)
Tier 2 information and involves changes
to plant-specific Tier 1 information (and
corresponding changes to COL
Appendix C). Specifically, the
amendment proposes changes to the
protection and safety monitoring system
including the reactor trip system and
the engineered safety feature actuation
system, the passive core cooling system,
the steam generator blowdown system,
and the spent fuel pool cooling system.
In addition, revisions are proposed to
COL Appendix A, Technical
Specifications.
Part of the justification for granting
the exemptions was provided by the
review of the amendments. Because the
exemption is necessary in order to issue
the requested license amendment, the
NRC granted the exemptions and issued
the amendments 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 exemptions 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 amendments were found
to be acceptable as well. The combined
safety evaluation is available in ADAMS
under Accession No. ML17284A075.
Identical exemption documents
(except for referenced unit numbers and
license numbers) were issued to the
licensee for VEGP Units 3 and 4 (COLs
NPF–91 and NPF–92). The exemption
