SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction On September 28, 2021, the NRC granted one exemption in response to a request submitted by one licensee dated September 21, 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 26, ‘‘Fitness for Duty Programs,’’ section 26.205, ‘‘Work hours.’’ The exemption from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 26 for Exelon Generation Company, LLC (for R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant), affords this licensee temporary relief from the work-hour control requirements under 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). The exemption from 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7) ensures that the control of work hours and management of worker fatigue does not unduly limit license flexibility in using personnel resources to most effectively manage the impacts of the COVID–19 PHE on maintaining the safe operation of this facility. Specifically, this licensee has stated that its staffing levels are affected or are expected to be affected by the COVID–19 PHE, and it can no longer meet or likely will not meet the workhour controls of 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). This licensee has committed to effecting site-specific COVID–19 PHE fatigue-management controls for personnel specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a). 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. Additional details on the exemption issued, including the exemption request submitted by the licensee and the NRC’s decision, are provided in the exemption approval listed in the table in this notice.
