SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from February 2,
2021, to February 23, 2021, the NRC
granted four exemptions in response to
requests submitted by two licensees
from January 21, 2021, to February 8,
2021. These exemptions temporarily
allow the licensees to deviate from
certain requirements of part 26, ‘‘Fitness
for Duty Programs,’’ 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
PO 00000

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
14347
Generation Company, LLC (for Calvert
Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Units 1 and
2; LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and
2; and Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station,
Units 1 and 2) and for Vistra Operations
Company LLC (for Comanche Peak
Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. 1 and 2)
afford these licensees temporary relief
from the work-hour controls under10
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 does 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, these licensees have 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 workhour controls of 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1)
through (d)(7). These licensees have
committed to effecting site-specific
COVID–19 PHE fatigue-management
controls for personnel specified in 10
CFR 26.4(a).
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 in
this notice 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/aboutnrc/covid-19/reactors/licensingactions.html.
II. Availability of Documents
The tables in this notice provide the
facility name, docket number, document
description, and ADAMS accession
number for each exemption issued.
Additional details on each exemption
issued, including the exemption request
submitted by the respective licensee and
the NRC’s decision, are provided in
each exemption approval listed in the
tables in this notice. For additional
directions on accessing information in
ADAMS, see the ADDRESSES section of

The exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 26,
