Download as PDF 4294 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Notices releases within 60 days after the end of the 12-month monitoring period for the Fermi 2 ISFSI. The exemption as requested would have permitted DTE to delay submission of the relevant report from on or before March 1, the current deadline, to prior to May 1 of each year. Delaying this submission deadline would allow DTE to align the submittals of the relevant report and the Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. The NRC staff could not grant DTE the exemption as requested because, under 10 CFR 72.13, ‘‘Applicability,’’ 10 CFR 72.44(d)(3) does not apply to general licensees such as DTE. That said, under 10 CFR 72.212, DTE must follow the technical specifications (TS) for the spent fuel casks it uses, and the relevant cask’s TS require DTE to submit the 10 CFR 72.44(d)(3) effluent monitoring report. Thus, DTE must make the 10 CFR 72.44(d)(3) report. Consequently, the NRC, on its own initiative, granted DTE an exemption from the applicable requirements such that DTE would receive relief equivalent to the relief it requested. In practice, this means the NRC exempted DTE from 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(5)(i), (b)(11), and 72.214 pursuant to 10 CFR 72.7, ‘‘Specific exemptions’’ for the ISFSI. The exemption granted upon the NRC’s own initiative only provides relief from the 60-day requirement so that the annual effluent release report for the Fermi 2 ISFSI may be submitted prior to May 1, rather than on or before March 1, of each year. The granted exemption only changes the due date and not the content of the information that the licensee would provide in the annual report. An analysis of this exemption can be found at the previously cited ADAMS accession number. Dated: January 24, 2022. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Yoira K. Diaz-Sanabria, Chief, Storage and Transportation Licensing Branch, Division of Fuel Management, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), the NRC is noticing the receipt of an 
export license amendment application submitted by PFNW on December 20, 
2021, for the export of German-origin radioactive waste from PFNW 
processing facilities to Germany. The application seeks authorization 
to export no greater than 60,000 kilograms and 0.05 terabecquerels of 
low-level radioactive waste in the form of residual ash and residual 
metal or non-combustible material. The amendment application requests
