Discussion By application dated February 20, 2021, as supplemented by letter dated February 21, 2021, the NRC received from Exelon a request for a temporary exemption from certain requirements of part 26 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Fitness for Duty Programs,’’ for LSCS. The NRC’s regulations at 10 CFR part 26 include the fitness-for-duty (FFD) requirements concerning pre-access testing for granting FFD authorization to an individual who either has never held FFD authorization or whose last period of FFD authorization was terminated favorably and no potentially disqualifying FFD information has been discovered or disclosed that was not previously reviewed and resolved by a licensee under the requirements of this part. Sections 26.65(d) and 26.65(e) of the NRC’s regulations describe the requirements for FFD authorization reinstatement after an interruption of more than 30 days and after an interruption of 30 or fewer days, respectively. In particular, 10 CFR 26.65(d)(1)(ii) and 26.65(e)(2)(iii)(B) require the licensee to verify that the E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM 22MRN1 15273 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 53 / Monday, March 22, 2021 / Notices drug test results are negative within 5 business days of specimen collection or administratively withdraw FFD authorization until the drug test results are received. According to the application, during the week of February 15, 2021, severe winter weather caused substantial service disruptions at the FedEx® Express shipping service hub in Memphis, Tennessee. The weather delayed shipments and delivery of drug and alcohol test specimens for approximately 435 outage workers granted temporary access to LSCS. This delay could result in FFD authorization being removed for these individuals and Exelon’s inability to timely restore LSCS to the electrical grid to serve the public and the Nation’s economic infrastructure. To avoid this possibility, Exelon requested a temporary exemption from 10 CFR 26.65(d)(1)(ii) and 26.65(e)(2)(iii)(B) to allow for extending the 5 business days requirement to 15 business days. Upon review, the NRC determined that pursuant to 10 CFR 26.9, the requested exemption is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the public interest. Therefore, the NRC granted the licensee’s request to temporarily exempt LSCS from the requirements in 10 CFR 26.65(d)(1)(ii) and 10 CFR 26.65(e)(2)(iii)(B). The exemption was effective upon issuance and remained in effect for the specimen shipments then in transit and any subsequent shipments made through February 26, 2021, to allow time to arrange alternative shipping, if possible.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Discussion

    By application dated February 20, 2021, as supplemented by letter 
dated February 21, 2021, the NRC received from Exelon a request for a 
temporary exemption from certain requirements of part 26 of title 10 of 
the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Fitness for Duty 
Programs,'' for LSCS.
    The NRC's regulations at 10 CFR part 26 include the fitness-for-
duty (FFD) requirements concerning pre-access testing for granting FFD 
authorization to an individual who either has never held FFD 
authorization or whose last period of FFD authorization was terminated 
favorably and no potentially disqualifying FFD information has been 
discovered or disclosed that was not previously reviewed and resolved 
by a licensee under the requirements of this part. Sections 26.65(d) 
and 26.65(e) of the NRC's regulations describe the requirements for FFD 
authorization reinstatement after an interruption of more than 30 days 
and after an interruption of 30 or fewer days, respectively. In 
particular, 10 CFR 26.65(d)(1)(ii) and 26.65(e)(2)(iii)(B) require the 
licensee to verify that the

[[Page 15273]]

drug test results are negative within 5 business days of specimen 
collection or administratively withdraw FFD authorization until the 
drug test results are received.
    According to the application, during the week of February 15, 2021, 
severe winter weather caused substantial service disruptions at the 
FedEx[supreg] Express shipping service hub in Memphis, Tennessee. The 
weather delayed shipments and delivery of drug and alcohol test 
specimens for approximately 435 outage workers granted temporary access 
to LSCS. This delay could result in FFD authorization being removed for 
these individuals and Exelon's inability to timely restore LSCS to the 
electrical grid to serve the public and the Nation's economic 
infrastructure. To avoid this possibility, Exelon requested a temporary 
exemption from 10 CFR 26.65(d)(1)(ii) and 26.65(e)(2)(iii)(B) to allow 
for extending the 5 business days requirement to 15 business days.
    Upon review, the NRC determined that pursuant to 10 CFR 26.9, the 
requested exemption is authorized by law, will not endanger life or 
property or the common defense and security, and is otherwise in the 
public interest. Therefore, the NRC granted the licensee's request to 
temporarily exempt LSCS from the requirements in 10 CFR 26.65(d)(1)(ii) 
and 10 CFR 26.65(e)(2)(iii)(B). The exemption was effective upon 
issuance and remained in effect for the specimen shipments then in 
transit and any subsequent shipments made through February 26, 2021, to 
allow time to arrange alternative shipping, if possible.
