SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Introduction
During the period from January 7,
2022, to January 21, 2022, the NRC
granted five exemptions in response to
requests submitted by four licensees
from January 5, 2022, to January 19,
2022. These exemptions temporarily
allow the licensees to deviate from
certain requirements of chapter 1 of title
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
9391
10 Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), part 26, ‘‘Fitness for Duty
Programs,’’ section 26.205, ‘‘Work
hours.’’
The exemptions from certain
requirements of 10 CFR part 26 for
Exelon Generation Company, LLC (for
Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1); for
Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. (for DavisBesse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No.
1); for PSEG Nuclear LLC (for Hope
Creek Generating Station and Salem
Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1
and 2); and for Arizona Public Service
Company (for Palo Verde Nuclear
Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3)
afford these licensees temporary relief
from the work-hour control
requirements under 10 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 work-hour controls of 10
CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). These
licensees have committed to effecting
site-specific administrative controls for
COVID–19 PHE fatigue-management for
personnel specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a).
The 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
