SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction On August 25, 2021, the NRC granted one exemption in response to a request submitted by one licensee dated July 29, 2021, as supplemented by letter dated August 12, 2021. The exemption temporarily allows the licensee to deviate from certain requirements of chapter I of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), part 50, appendix E, ‘‘Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ section IV.F, ‘‘Training.’’ The exemption grants Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (for Wolf Creek Generating Station, Unit 1), a schedular exemption from the offsite biennial emergency preparedness (EP) exercise requirement, allowing it to postpone the calendar year 2021 fullparticipation biennial EP exercise until November 30, 2022, or when the required exercise is conducted in calendar year 2022, whichever occurs first. The exemption affords this licensee temporary relief from the requirements of 10 CFR part 50, appendix E, regarding offsite response organization (ORO) participation in the biennial EP exercise. The exemption will not adversely affect the emergency response capability of the facility because the licensee has conducted numerous drills, exercises, and other training activities that have exercised the licensee’s emergency response strategies since the last evaluated biennial EP exercise and that State, county, and local OROs have participated therein. The table in this notice provides 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 table in this notice provides the facility name, docket number, document description, and ADAMS accession number for the exemption issued.
