NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)
[NRC–2022–0065]
To qualify for a categorical exclusion
under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(G), the
exemption must involve scheduling
requirements. The exemption involves
scheduling requirements because it
would allow the licensee to submit
SLRAs for Dresden Nuclear Power
Station, Units 2 and 3, no later than 3
years prior to the expiration of the
existing licenses, rather than the 5 years
specified in 10 CFR 2.109(b), and still
place the licenses in timely renewal
under 10 CFR 2.109(b). Therefore, the
requirements of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)
are met.
Based on the above, the NRC
concludes that the proposed exemption
meets the eligibility criteria for a
categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25). Therefore, pursuant to 10
CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact
statement or environmental assessment
need be prepared in connection with the
approval of this exemption request.

Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses and Combined Licenses
Involving No Significant Hazards
Considerations
IV. Conclusions
Accordingly, the NRC has determined
that, pursuant to 10 CFR 54.15 and 10
CFR 50.12, the requested exemption is
authorized by law, will not present an
undue risk to the public health and
safety, and is consistent with the
common defense and security. Also,
special circumstances, as defined in 10
CFR 50.12(a)(2), are present. Therefore,
the NRC hereby grants the licensee a
one-time exemption for Dresden
Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3,
from 10 CFR 2.109(b) to allow the
submittal of the Dresden Nuclear Power
Station, Units 2 and 3, SLRAs no later
than 3 years prior to expiration of the
operating licenses.
This exemption is effective upon
issuance.

The Act requires the Commission to
publish notice of any amendments
issued, or proposed to be issued, and
grants the Commission the authority to
issue and make immediately effective
any amendment to an operating license
or combined license, as applicable,
upon a determination by the
Commission that such amendment
involves no significant hazards
consideration (NSHC), notwithstanding
the pendency before the Commission of
a request for a hearing from any person.
This monthly notice includes all

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance
of Amendments to Facility Operating
Licenses and Combined Licenses and
Proposed No Significant Hazards
Consideration Determination
For the facility-specific amendment
requests shown in this notice, the
Commission finds that the licensees’
analyses provided, consistent with
section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), are
sufficient to support the proposed
determinations that these amendment
requests involve NSHC. Under the
Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR
50.92, operation of the facilities in
accordance with the proposed
amendments would not (1) involve a
significant increase in the probability or
consequences of an accident previously
evaluated; or (2) create the possibility of
a new or different kind of accident from
any accident previously evaluated; or
(3) involve a significant reduction in a
margin of safety.
The Commission is seeking public
comments on these proposed
determinations. Any comments received
within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be
considered in making any final
determinations.
Normally, the Commission will not
issue the amendments until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue any of these
license amendments before expiration of
the 60-day period provided that its final
determination is that the amendment
involves NSHC. In addition, the
Commission may issue any of these
amendments prior to the expiration of
the 30-day comment period if
circumstances change during the 30-day
comment period such that failure to act
in a timely way would result, for
example in derating or shutdown of the
facility. If the Commission takes action
on any of these amendments prior to the
expiration of either the comment period
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:24 Mar 21, 2022
Jkt 256001
or the notice period, it will publish in
the Federal Register a notice of
issuance. If the Commission makes a
final NSHC determination for any of
these amendments, any hearing will
take place after issuance. The
Commission expects that the need to
take action on any amendment before 60
days have elapsed will occur very
infrequently.
A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing
and Petition for Leave To Intervene
Within 60 days after the date of
publication of this notice, any persons
(petitioner) whose interest may be
affected by any of these actions may file
a request for a hearing and petition for
leave to intervene (petition) with respect
to that action. Petitions shall be filed in
accordance with the Commission’s
‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and
Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested
persons should consult a current copy
of 10 CFR 2.309. The NRC’s regulations
are accessible electronically from the
NRC Library on the NRC’s website at
https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/cfr/. If a petition is filed, the
Commission or a presiding officer will
rule on the petition and, if appropriate,
a notice of a hearing will be issued.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d) the
petition should specifically explain the
reasons why intervention should be
permitted with particular reference to
the following general requirements for
standing: (1) The name, address, and
telephone number of the petitioner; (2)
the nature of the petitioner’s right to be
made a party to the proceeding; (3) the
nature and extent of the petitioner’s
property, financial, or other interest in
the proceeding; and (4) the possible
effect of any decision or order which
may be entered in the proceeding on the
petitioner’s interest.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f),
the petition must also set forth the
specific contentions that the petitioner
seeks to have litigated in the
proceeding. Each contention must
consist of a specific statement of the
issue of law or fact to be raised or
controverted. In addition, the petitioner
must provide a brief explanation of the
bases for the contention and a concise
statement of the alleged facts or expert
opinion that support the contention and
on which the petitioner intends to rely
in proving the contention at the hearing.
The petitioner must also provide
references to the specific sources and
documents on which the petitioner
intends to rely to support its position on
the issue. The petition must include
sufficient information to show that a
genuine dispute exists with the
applicant or licensee on a material issue
PO 00000
Frm 00089
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
of law or fact. Contentions must be
limited to matters within the scope of
the proceeding. The contention must be
one that, if proven, would entitle the
petitioner to relief. A petitioner who
fails to satisfy the requirements at 10
CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at least one
contention will not be permitted to
participate as a party.
Those permitted to intervene become
parties to the proceeding, subject to any
limitations in the order granting leave to
intervene. Parties have the opportunity
to participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing with respect to resolution of
that party’s admitted contentions,
including the opportunity to present
evidence, consistent with the NRC’s
regulations, policies, and procedures.
Petitions must be filed no later than
60 days from the date of publication of
this notice. Petitions and motions for
leave to file new or amended
contentions that are filed after the
deadline will not be entertained absent
a determination by the presiding officer
that the filing demonstrates good cause
by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR
2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). The petition
must be filed in accordance with the
filing instructions in the ‘‘Electronic
Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this
document.
If a hearing is requested, and the
Commission has not made a final
determination on the issue of NSHC, the
Commission will make a final
determination on the issue of NSHC.
The final determination will serve to
establish when the hearing is held. If the
final determination is that the
amendment request involves NSHC, the
Commission may issue the amendment
and make it immediately effective,
notwithstanding the request for a
hearing. Any hearing would take place
after issuance of the amendment. If the
final determination is that the
amendment request involves a
significant hazards consideration, then
any hearing held would take place
before the issuance of the amendment
unless the Commission finds an
imminent danger to the health or safety
of the public, in which case it will issue
an appropriate order or rule under 10
CFR part 2.
A State, local governmental body,
Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or
agency thereof, may submit a petition to
the Commission to participate as a party
under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition
should state the nature and extent of the
petitioner’s interest in the proceeding.
The petition should be submitted to the
Commission no later than 60 days from
the date of publication of this notice.
The petition must be filed in accordance
with the filing instructions in the
E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM
22MRN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2022 / Notices
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
‘‘Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)’’
section of this document, and should
meet the requirements for petitions set
forth in this section, except that under
10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local
governmental body, or Federally
recognized Indian Tribe, or agency
thereof does not need to address the
standing requirements in 10 CFR
2.309(d) if the facility is located within
its boundaries. Alternatively, a State,
local governmental body, Federally
recognized Indian Tribe, or agency
thereof may participate as a non-party
under 10 CFR 2.315(c).
If a petition is submitted, any person
who is not a party to the proceeding and
is not affiliated with or represented by
a party may, at the discretion of the
presiding officer, be permitted to make
a limited appearance pursuant to the
provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person
making a limited appearance may make
an oral or written statement of his or her
position on the issues but may not
otherwise participate in the proceeding.
A limited appearance may be made at
any session of the hearing or at any
prehearing conference, subject to the
limits and conditions as may be
imposed by the presiding officer. Details
regarding the opportunity to make a
limited appearance will be provided by
the presiding officer if such sessions are
scheduled.
B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC
adjudicatory proceedings including
documents filed by an interested State,
local governmental body, Federally
recognized Indian Tribe, or designated
agency thereof that requests to
participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must
be filed in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302. The E-Filing process requires
participants to submit and serve all
adjudicatory documents over the
internet, or in some cases, to mail copies
on electronic storage media, unless an
exemption permitting an alternative
filing method, as discussed in this
notice, is granted. Detailed guidance on
electronic submissions is located in the
Guidance for Electronic Submissions to
the NRC (ADAMS Accession No.
ML13031A056) and on the NRC website
at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html.
To comply with the procedural
requirements of E-Filing, at least 10
days prior to the filing deadline, the
participant should contact the Office of
the Secretary by email at
Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by
telephone at 301–415–1677, to (1)
request a digital identification (ID)
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:24 Mar 21, 2022
Jkt 256001
certificate, which allows the participant
(or its counsel or representative) to
digitally sign submissions and access
the E-Filing system for any proceeding
in which it is participating; and (2)
advise the Secretary that the participant
will be submitting a petition or other
adjudicatory document (even in
instances in which the participant, or its
counsel or representative, already holds
an NRC-issued digital ID certificate).
Based upon this information, the
Secretary will establish an electronic
docket for the proceeding if the
Secretary has not already established an
electronic docket.
Information about applying for a
digital ID certificate is available on the
NRC’s public website at https://
www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/
getting-started.html. After a digital ID
certificate is obtained and a docket
created, the participant must submit
adjudicatory documents in Portable
Document Format. Guidance on
submissions is available on the NRC’s
public website at https://www.nrc.gov/
site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A
filing is considered complete at the time
the document is submitted through the
NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an
electronic filing must be submitted to
the E-Filing system no later than 11:59
p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system timestamps the document
and sends the submitter an email
confirming receipt of the document. The
E-Filing system also distributes an email
that provides access to the document to
the NRC’s Office of the General Counsel
and any others who have advised the
Office of the Secretary that they wish to
participate in the proceeding, so that the
filer need not serve the document on
those participants separately. Therefore,
applicants and other participants (or
their counsel or representative) must
apply for and receive a digital ID
certificate before adjudicatory
documents are filed to obtain access to
the documents via the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using
the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system
may seek assistance by contacting the
NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk
through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located
on the NRC’s public website at https://
www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to
MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC
Electronic Filing Help Desk is available
between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., Eastern
Time, Monday through Friday,
excluding government holidays.

Participants who believe that they
have good cause for not submitting
documents electronically must file an
exemption request, in accordance with
10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper
filing stating why there is good cause for
not filing electronically and requesting
authorization to continue to submit
documents in paper format. Such filings
must be submitted in accordance with
10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing
adjudicatory documents in this manner
are responsible for serving their
documents on all other participants.
Participants granted an exemption
under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet
the electronic formatting requirement in
10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the
participant also seeks and is granted an
exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1).
Documents submitted in adjudicatory
proceedings will appear in the NRC’s
electronic hearing docket, which is
publicly available at https://adams.nrc.
gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an
order of the presiding officer. If you do
not have an NRC-issued digital ID
certificate as previously described, click
‘‘cancel’’ when the link requests
certificates and you will be
automatically directed to the NRC’s
electronic hearing dockets where you
will be able to access any publicly
available documents in a particular
hearing docket. Participants are
requested not to include personal
privacy information such as social
security numbers, home addresses, or
personal phone numbers in their filings
unless an NRC regulation or other law
requires submission of such
information. With respect to
copyrighted works, except for limited
excerpts that serve the purpose of the
adjudicatory filings and would
constitute a Fair Use application,
participants should not include
copyrighted materials in their
submission.
The following table provides the plant

III. Notice of Issuance of Amendments
to Facility Operating Licenses and
Combined Licenses
During the period since publication of
the last monthly notice, the Commission
has issued the following amendments.
The Commission has determined for
each of these amendments that the
application complies with the standards
and requirements of the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as amended (the Act), and
the Commission’s rules and regulations.
The Commission has made appropriate
findings as required by the Act and the
Commission’s rules and regulations in
10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in
the license amendment.

license or combined license, as
applicable, proposed NSHC
determination, and opportunity for a
hearing in connection with these
actions, was published in the Federal
Register as indicated in the safety
evaluation for each amendment.
Unless otherwise indicated, the
Commission has determined that these
amendments satisfy the criteria for
categorical exclusion in accordance
with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant
to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment need be prepared for these
amendments. If the Commission has
prepared an environmental assessment
under the special circumstances
provision in 10 CFR 51.22(b) and has
made a determination based on that
assessment, it is so indicated in the
safety evaluation for the amendment.
For further details with respect to
each action, see the amendment and
associated documents such as the
Commission’s letter and safety
evaluation, which may be obtained
using the ADAMS accession numbers
indicated in the following table. The
safety evaluation will provide the
ADAMS accession numbers for the
application for amendment and the
Federal Register citation for any
environmental assessment. All of these
items can be accessed as described in
the ‘‘Obtaining Information and
Submitting Comments’’ section of this
document.

The amendment modified the technical specifications (TS) by revising TS 3.1.3.2 to provide an
alternative monitoring option for the condition where a maximum of one digital rod position
indicator per bank is inoperable. Specifically, as an alternative to determining the position of
the non-indicating rod(s) indirectly by the movable incore detectors at a frequency of once
per 8 hours, the change allows rod position verification to be performed based on the occurrence of rod movement or power level change. This revision is consistent with Technical
Specification Task Force Traveler 547, Revision 1, and provides alternate TS Actions to
allow the position of the rod to be monitored by a means other than movable incore detectors. The amendment also revised TS 3.1.3.5 to replace shutdown ‘‘rods’’ with shutdown
‘‘banks’’ and makes conforming changes to TS 3.1.3.5 Actions and Surveillance Requirements, consistent with wording in the standard TSs for Westinghouse Plants as provided in
NUREG–1431, Revision 4. Finally, the amendment included administrative changes to revise the title of TS 3.1.3.6, to reflect that the requirements apply to control ‘‘banks’’ and
modifies TS 6.9.1.6.a and TS 6.9.1.6.b to cite the revised titles of TS 3.1.3.5 and TS
3.1.3.6.

Pursuant to 39 CFR 3040.130 et seq
and 39 U.S.C. 3642, the Postal Service
has filed a request with the PRC to
transfer 297 Post Office Box service
locations to competitive classification.
The Postal Service’s request would
expand the Postal Regulatory
Commission’s current five-mile criterion
for assessing competitiveness by an
additional three miles, to extend the
mileage range from five miles to eight
miles. The proposed eight-mile criterion
is based on survey data that the Postal
Service has filed with the Postal
Regulatory Commission alongside its
request. The survey data show that
many customers either currently travel
longer distances for mailbox service or
are willing to do so. The proposed
transfer would cover approximately 297
Post Office Box service locations, out of
a total of approximately 32,788
locations offering Post Office Box
service.

II. Notice of Consideration of Issuance of Amendments to Facility
Operating Licenses and Combined Licenses and Proposed No Significant
Hazards Consideration Determination
For the facility-specific amendment requests shown in this notice,
the Commission finds that the licensees' analyses provided, consistent
with section 50.91 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), are sufficient to support the proposed determinations that these
amendment requests involve NSHC. Under the Commission's regulations in
10 CFR 50.92, operation of the facilities in accordance with the
proposed amendments would not (1) involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or (2)
create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any
accident previously evaluated; or (3) involve a significant reduction
in a margin of safety.
The Commission is seeking public comments on these proposed
determinations. Any comments received within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice will be considered in making any final
determinations.
Normally, the Commission will not issue the amendments until the
expiration of 60 days after the date of publication of this notice. The
Commission may issue any of these license amendments before expiration
of the 60-day period provided that its final determination is that the
amendment involves NSHC. In addition, the Commission may issue any of
these amendments prior to the expiration of the 30-day comment period
if circumstances change during the 30-day comment period such that
failure to act in a timely way would result, for example in derating or
shutdown of the facility. If the Commission takes action on any of
these amendments prior to the expiration of either the comment period
or the notice period, it will publish in the Federal Register a notice
of issuance. If the Commission makes a final NSHC determination for any
of these amendments, any hearing will take place after issuance. The
Commission expects that the need to take action on any amendment before
60 days have elapsed will occur very infrequently.
A. Opportunity To Request a Hearing and Petition for Leave To Intervene
Within 60 days after the date of publication of this notice, any
persons (petitioner) whose interest may be affected by any of these
actions may file a request for a hearing and petition for leave to
intervene (petition) with respect to that action. Petitions shall be
filed in accordance with the Commission's ``Agency Rules of Practice
and Procedure'' in 10 CFR part 2. Interested persons should consult a
current copy of 10 CFR 2.309. The NRC's regulations are accessible
electronically from the NRC Library on the NRC's website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/cfr/. If a petition is filed,
the Commission or a presiding officer will rule on the petition and, if
appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be issued.
As required by 10 CFR 2.309(d) the petition should specifically
explain the reasons why intervention should be permitted with
particular reference to the following general requirements for
standing: (1) The name, address, and telephone number of the
petitioner; (2) the nature of the petitioner's right to be made a party
to the proceeding; (3) the nature and extent of the petitioner's
property, financial, or other interest in the proceeding; and (4) the
possible effect of any decision or order which may be entered in the
proceeding on the petitioner's interest.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.309(f), the petition must also set
forth the specific contentions that the petitioner seeks to have
litigated in the proceeding. Each contention must consist of a specific
statement of the issue of law or fact to be raised or controverted. In
addition, the petitioner must provide a brief explanation of the bases
for the contention and a concise statement of the alleged facts or
expert opinion that support the contention and on which the petitioner
intends to rely in proving the contention at the hearing. The
petitioner must also provide references to the specific sources and
documents on which the petitioner intends to rely to support its
position on the issue. The petition must include sufficient information
to show that a genuine dispute exists with the applicant or licensee on
a material issue of law or fact. Contentions must be limited to matters
within the scope of the proceeding. The contention must be one that, if
proven, would entitle the petitioner to relief. A petitioner who fails
to satisfy the requirements at 10 CFR 2.309(f) with respect to at least
one contention will not be permitted to participate as a party.
Those permitted to intervene become parties to the proceeding,
subject to any limitations in the order granting leave to intervene.
Parties have the opportunity to participate fully in the conduct of the
hearing with respect to resolution of that party's admitted
contentions, including the opportunity to present evidence, consistent
with the NRC's regulations, policies, and procedures.
Petitions must be filed no later than 60 days from the date of
publication of this notice. Petitions and motions for leave to file new
or amended contentions that are filed after the deadline will not be
entertained absent a determination by the presiding officer that the
filing demonstrates good cause by satisfying the three factors in 10
CFR 2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). The petition must be filed in
accordance with the filing instructions in the ``Electronic Submissions
(E-Filing)'' section of this document.
If a hearing is requested, and the Commission has not made a final
determination on the issue of NSHC, the Commission will make a final
determination on the issue of NSHC. The final determination will serve
to establish when the hearing is held. If the final determination is
that the amendment request involves NSHC, the Commission may issue the
amendment and make it immediately effective, notwithstanding the
request for a hearing. Any hearing would take place after issuance of
the amendment. If the final determination is that the amendment request
involves a significant hazards consideration, then any hearing held
would take place before the issuance of the amendment unless the
Commission finds an imminent danger to the health or safety of the
public, in which case it will issue an appropriate order or rule under
10 CFR part 2.
A State, local governmental body, Federally recognized Indian
Tribe, or agency thereof, may submit a petition to the Commission to
participate as a party under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(1). The petition should
state the nature and extent of the petitioner's interest in the
proceeding. The petition should be submitted to the Commission no later
than 60 days from the date of publication of this notice. The petition
must be filed in accordance with the filing instructions in the
[[Page 16251]]
``Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)'' section of this document, and
should meet the requirements for petitions set forth in this section,
except that under 10 CFR 2.309(h)(2) a State, local governmental body,
or Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof does not need
to address the standing requirements in 10 CFR 2.309(d) if the facility
is located within its boundaries. Alternatively, a State, local
governmental body, Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or agency thereof
may participate as a non-party under 10 CFR 2.315(c).
If a petition is submitted, any person who is not a party to the
proceeding and is not affiliated with or represented by a party may, at
the discretion of the presiding officer, be permitted to make a limited
appearance pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.315(a). A person
making a limited appearance may make an oral or written statement of
his or her position on the issues but may not otherwise participate in
the proceeding. A limited appearance may be made at any session of the
hearing or at any prehearing conference, subject to the limits and
conditions as may be imposed by the presiding officer. Details
regarding the opportunity to make a limited appearance will be provided
by the presiding officer if such sessions are scheduled.
B. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing)
All documents filed in NRC adjudicatory proceedings including
documents filed by an interested State, local governmental body,
Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or designated agency thereof that
requests to participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must be filed in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302. The E-Filing process requires
participants to submit and serve all adjudicatory documents over the
internet, or in some cases, to mail copies on electronic storage media,
unless an exemption permitting an alternative filing method, as
discussed in this notice, is granted. Detailed guidance on electronic
submissions is located in the Guidance for Electronic Submissions to
the NRC (ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) and on the NRC website at
https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html.
To comply with the procedural requirements of E-Filing, at least 10
days prior to the filing deadline, the participant should contact the
Office of the Secretary by email at [email protected], or by
telephone at 301-415-1677, to (1) request a digital identification (ID)
certificate, which allows the participant (or its counsel or
representative) to digitally sign submissions and access the E-Filing
system for any proceeding in which it is participating; and (2) advise
the Secretary that the participant will be submitting a petition or
other adjudicatory document (even in instances in which the
participant, or its counsel or representative, already holds an NRC-
issued digital ID certificate). Based upon this information, the
Secretary will establish an electronic docket for the proceeding if the
Secretary has not already established an electronic docket.
Information about applying for a digital ID certificate is
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/getting-started.html. After a digital ID certificate is
obtained and a docket created, the participant must submit adjudicatory
documents in Portable Document Format. Guidance on submissions is
available on the NRC's public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A filing is considered complete at the
time the document is submitted through the NRC's E-Filing system. To be
timely, an electronic filing must be submitted to the E-Filing system
no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Upon receipt of
a transmission, the E-Filing system timestamps the document and sends
the submitter an email confirming receipt of the document. The E-Filing
system also distributes an email that provides access to the document
to the NRC's Office of the General Counsel and any others who have
advised the Office of the Secretary that they wish to participate in
the proceeding, so that the filer need not serve the document on those
participants separately. Therefore, applicants and other participants
(or their counsel or representative) must apply for and receive a
digital ID certificate before adjudicatory documents are filed to
obtain access to the documents via the E-Filing system.
A person filing electronically using the NRC's adjudicatory E-
Filing system may seek assistance by contacting the NRC's Electronic
Filing Help Desk through the ``Contact Us'' link located on the NRC's
public website at https://www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.html, by
email to [email protected], or by a toll-free call at 1-866-672-
7640. The NRC Electronic Filing Help Desk is available between 9 a.m.
and 6 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, excluding government
holidays.
Participants who believe that they have good cause for not
submitting documents electronically must file an exemption request, in
accordance with 10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper filing
stating why there is good cause for not filing electronically and
requesting authorization to continue to submit documents in paper
format. Such filings must be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR
2.302(b)-(d). Participants filing adjudicatory documents in this manner
are responsible for serving their documents on all other participants.
Participants granted an exemption under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still
meet the electronic formatting requirement in 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1),
unless the participant also seeks and is granted an exemption from 10
CFR 2.302(g)(1).
Documents submitted in adjudicatory proceedings will appear in the
NRC's electronic hearing docket, which is publicly available at https://adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded pursuant to an order of the
presiding officer. If you do not have an NRC-issued digital ID
certificate as previously described, click ``cancel'' when the link
requests certificates and you will be automatically directed to the
NRC's electronic hearing dockets where you will be able to access any
publicly available documents in a particular hearing docket.
Participants are requested not to include personal privacy information
such as social security numbers, home addresses, or personal phone
numbers in their filings unless an NRC regulation or other law requires
submission of such information. With respect to copyrighted works,
except for limited excerpts that serve the purpose of the adjudicatory
filings and would constitute a Fair Use application, participants
should not include copyrighted materials in their submission.
The following table provides the plant name, docket number, date of
application, ADAMS accession number, and location in the application of
the licensees' proposed NSHC determinations. For further details with
respect to these license amendment applications, see the applications

III. Notice of Issuance of Amendments to Facility Operating Licenses
and Combined Licenses
During the period since publication of the last monthly notice, the
Commission has issued the following amendments. The Commission has
determined for each of these amendments that the application complies
with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954,
as amended (the Act), and the Commission's rules and regulations. The
Commission has made appropriate findings as required by the Act and the
Commission's rules and regulations in 10 CFR chapter I, which are set
forth in the license amendment.
A notice of consideration of issuance of amendment to facility
operating license or combined license, as applicable, proposed NSHC
determination, and opportunity for a hearing in connection with these
actions, was published in the Federal Register as indicated in the
safety evaluation for each amendment.
Unless otherwise indicated, the Commission has determined that
these amendments satisfy the criteria for categorical exclusion in
accordance with 10 CFR 51.22. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b),
no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be
prepared for these amendments. If the Commission has prepared an
environmental assessment under the special circumstances provision in
10 CFR 51.22(b) and has made a determination based on that assessment,
it is so indicated in the safety evaluation for the amendment.
For further details with respect to each action, see the amendment
and associated documents such as the Commission's letter and safety
evaluation, which may be obtained using the ADAMS accession numbers
indicated in the following table. The safety evaluation will provide
the ADAMS accession numbers for the application for amendment and the
Federal Register citation for any environmental assessment. All of
these items can be accessed as described in the ``Obtaining Information
and Submitting Comments'' section of this document.

Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.; Millstone Power Station, Unit
No. 3; New London County, CT
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Docket No(s)...................... 50-423.
Amendment Date.................... February 16, 2022.
ADAMS Accession No................ ML22007A151.
Amendment No(s)................... 282.
Brief Description of Amendment(s). The amendment modified the technical
specifications (TS) by revising TS
3.1.3.2 to provide an alternative
monitoring option for the condition
where a maximum of one digital rod
position indicator per bank is
inoperable. Specifically, as an
alternative to determining the
position of the non-indicating
rod(s) indirectly by the movable
incore detectors at a frequency of
once per 8 hours, the change allows
rod position verification to be
performed based on the occurrence
of rod movement or power level
change. This revision is consistent
with Technical Specification Task
Force Traveler 547, Revision 1, and
provides alternate TS Actions to
allow the position of the rod to be
monitored by a means other than
movable incore detectors. The
amendment also revised TS 3.1.3.5
to replace shutdown ``rods'' with
shutdown ``banks'' and makes
conforming changes to TS 3.1.3.5
Actions and Surveillance
Requirements, consistent with
wording in the standard TSs for
Westinghouse Plants as provided in
NUREG-1431, Revision 4. Finally,
the amendment included
administrative changes to revise
the title of TS 3.1.3.6, to reflect
that the requirements apply to
control ``banks'' and modifies TS
6.9.1.6.a and TS 6.9.1.6.b to cite
the revised titles of TS 3.1.3.5
and TS 3.1.3.6.

with containment spray nozzle
testing specified by Surveillance
Requirement 4.6.2.1.d.
Specifically, the change replaced
the current testing frequency, as
specified by the Surveillance
Frequency Control Program, with an
event-based frequency by verifying
each spray nozzle being
unobstructed following activities
that could result in nozzle
blockage.
