Advisory Committee for Engineering; Notice of Meeting, 60840-60841 [2020-21340]

Download as PDF 60840 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 188 / Monday, September 28, 2020 / Notices OSHA’s recognition of any NRTL for a particular test standard is limited to equipment or materials for which OSHA standards require third-party testing and certification before using them in the workplace. Consequently, if a test standard also covers any products for which OSHA does not require such testing and certification, a NRTL’s scope of recognition does not include these products. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) may approve the test standards listed above as American National Standards. However, for convenience, OSHA may use the designation of the standards-developing organization for the standard as opposed to the ANSI designation. Under the NRTL Program’s policy (see OSHA Instruction CPL 1–0.3, Appendix C, paragraph XIV), any NRTL recognized for a particular test standard may use either the proprietary version of the test standard or the ANSI version of that standard. Contact ANSI to determine whether a test standard is currently ANSI-approved. A. Conditions In addition to those conditions already required by 29 CFR 1910.7, MET must abide by the following conditions of the recognition: 1. MET must inform OSHA as soon as possible, in writing, of any change of ownership, facilities, or key personnel, and of any major change in the operations as a NRTL, and provide details of the change(s); 2. MET must meet all the terms of the recognition and comply with all OSHA policies pertaining to this recognition; and 3. MET must continue to meet the requirements for recognition, including all previously published conditions on MET’s scope of recognition, in all areas for which it has recognition. Pursuant to the authority in 29 CFR 1910.7, OSHA hereby expands the scope of recognition of MET, subject to the conditions specified above. III. Authority and Signature Loren Sweatt, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, authorized the preparation of this notice. Accordingly, the agency is issuing this notice pursuant to 29 U.S.C. 657(g)(2), Secretary of Labor’s Order No. 1–2012 (77 FR 3912, Jan. 25, 2012), and 29 CFR 1910.7.

The NRC is issuing a single notice to announce the issuance of the exemptions. DATES: During the period from August 3, 2020, to August 28, 2020, the NRC granted 15 exemptions in response to requests submitted by licensees from June 24, 2020, to August 20, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Danna, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001; telephone: 301–415–7422, email: James.Danna@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction During the period from August 3, 2020, to August 28, 2020, the NRC granted 15 exemptions in response to requests submitted by licensees from June 24, 2020, to August 20, 2020. These exemptions temporarily allow the licensees to deviate from certain requirements (as cited below) of various parts of chapter I of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR). The exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 26, ‘‘Fitness for Duty Programs,’’ for Exelon Generation Company, LLC (for James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant), and NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (for Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2) allow these licensees temporary relief from the work-hour controls under 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). The exemptions from 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7) ensure that the control of work hours and management of worker fatigue do not unduly limit licensee flexibility in using personnel resources to most effectively manage the impacts of the COVID–19 PHE on maintaining the safe operation of these facilities. Specifically, the licensees stated that their staffing levels are affected or are expected to be affected by the COVID– 19 PHE, and they can no longer meet or likely will not meet the work-hour controls of 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). The licensees have committed to effecting site-specific administrative controls for COVID–19 PHE fatiguemanagement for personnel specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a). The exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 55, ‘‘Operators’ Licenses,’’ for NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC (for Point Beach Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2) affords the licensee a temporary exemption from requirements related to licensed operator requalification program scheduling (under 10 CFR PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 60841 55.59(a)(1), 10 CFR 55.59(a)(2), and 10 CFR 55.59(c)(1)). The exemption from the requalification program requirements provides increased scheduling flexibility to manage conditions resulting from the COVID–19 PHE by allowing NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC to reduce the possibility of exposures associated with groups of people gathered in a single location, as discussed above. The exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 73 for Exelon Generation Company, LLC (for Byron Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1; Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3; LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2; Limerick Generating Station, Units 1 and 2; Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2; Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2); Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (for Palisades Nuclear Plant); Nebraska Public Power District (for Cooper Nuclear Station); Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (for Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2; and Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2); PSEG Nuclear LLC (for Hope Creek Generating Station and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2); and Entergy Operations, Inc. (for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3) afford these licensees temporary exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 73, appendix B, ‘‘General Criteria for Security Personnel,’’ section VI. The exemptions will help to ensure that these regulatory requirements do not unduly limit licensee flexibility in using personnel resources in a manner that most effectively manages the impacts of the COVID–19 PHE on maintaining the safe and secure operation of these facilities and the implementation of the licensees’ NRC-approved security plans, protective strategy, and implementing procedures. These licensees have committed to certain security measures to ensure response readiness and for their security personnel to maintain performance capability. The NRC is providing compiled tables of exemptions using a single Federal Register notice for COVID–19-related exemptions instead of issuing individual Federal Register notices for each exemption. The compiled tables below provide transparency regarding the number and type of exemptions the NRC has issued. Additionally, the NRC publishes tables of approved regulatory actions related to the COVID–19 PHE on its public website at https:// www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/covid-19/ reactors/licensing-actions.html.
