Applicant Dr. Heather Lynch, Stony Brook University, IACS 163, Stony Brook, NY 11794 Waste Management. The applicant seeks an Antarctic Conservation Act waste management permit for activities associated with penguin population surveys in the Western Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands. The applicant proposes using battery-powered, quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to assist in the collection of imagery data for a multiscale population census of penguin colonies. The UAV will only be flown by a pilot with extensive experience. Mitigation measures will be put in place to prevent loss of aircraft. These measures include UAVs being flown by a trained pilot in fair-weather conditions and having stationed observers maintain visual contact with the aircraft at all times. The applicant proposes various recovery methods in the unlikely event that an aircraft is lost over land or sea. These measures will limit any potential impacts on the Antarctic environment. The applicant seeks a waste permit to cover any accidental release that may result from UAV use.

II. Discussion On July 31, 2023, Carbon Free Power Project, LLC (CFPP) submitted a Limited Work Authorization (LWA) application (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML23212A007) to the NRC for review and approval pursuant to part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (10 CFR), ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ section 50.10(d), ‘‘Request for limited work authorization.’’ A related request for exemption (ADAMS Accession No. ML23212A003), was submitted by NuScale Power, LLC, on behalf of CFPP, from certain requirements in 10 CFR 50.10(c), ‘‘Requirement for construction permit, early site permit authorizing limited work authorization activities, combined license, or limited work authorization.’’ A notice of receipt and availability of the LWA application and the exemption request was previously published in the Federal Register on August 17, 2023 (88 FR 56054). The NRC staff has accepted for docketing the CFPP’s LWA application for detailed technical review under Docket No. 99902052. The LWA application requests authorization for CFPP to conduct certain early site construction activities for which a combined license or a construction permit would otherwise be required. The exemption request would allow CFPP to conduct certain early construction activities in advance of the LWA. The NRC staff provided CFPP notice of the staff’s determination that the LWA application was acceptable for docketing by letter dated September 5, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23236A263). Docketing of the LWA application does not preclude the NRC from requesting additional information from the applicant as the review proceeds, nor does it constitute an indication that the Commission will grant or deny the LWA application. CFPP plans to submit a combined license application to request authorization to construct and operate a proposed nuclear power plant at the CFPP site. The nuclear power plant would consist of six small modular reactors based on the US460 NuScale Power Plant design. The NRC staff will perform a detailed technical review of the LWA application and will document its safety and environmental findings in a safety evaluation report and an environmental impact statement, respectively.

II. Discussion

    On July 31, 2023, Carbon Free Power Project, LLC (CFPP) submitted a 
Limited Work Authorization (LWA) application (ADAMS Package Accession 
No. ML23212A007) to the NRC for review and approval pursuant to part 50 
of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulation (10 CFR), ``Domestic 
Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,'' section 50.10(d), 
``Request for limited work authorization.'' A related request for 
exemption (ADAMS Accession No. ML23212A003), was submitted by NuScale 
Power, LLC, on behalf of CFPP, from certain requirements in 10 CFR 
50.10(c), ``Requirement for construction permit, early site permit 
authorizing limited work authorization activities, combined license, or 
limited work authorization.'' A notice of receipt and availability of 
the LWA application and the exemption request was previously published 
in the Federal Register on August 17, 2023 (88 FR 56054).
    The NRC staff has accepted for docketing the CFPP's LWA application 
for detailed technical review under Docket No. 99902052. The LWA 
application requests authorization for CFPP to conduct certain early 
site construction activities for which a combined license or a 
construction permit would otherwise be required. The exemption request 
would allow CFPP to conduct certain early construction activities in 
advance of the LWA. The NRC staff provided CFPP notice of the staff's 
determination that the LWA application was acceptable for docketing by 
letter dated September 5, 2023 (ADAMS Accession No. ML23236A263).
    Docketing of the LWA application does not preclude the NRC from 
requesting additional information from the applicant as the review 
proceeds, nor does it constitute an indication that the Commission will 
grant or deny the LWA application.
    CFPP plans to submit a combined license application to request 
authorization to construct and operate a proposed nuclear power plant 
at the CFPP site. The nuclear power plant would consist of six small 
modular reactors based on the US460 NuScale Power Plant design. The NRC 
staff will perform a detailed technical review of the LWA application 
and will document its safety and environmental findings in a safety 
evaluation report and an environmental impact statement, respectively.

III. Opportunity to Comment

    The NRC staff requests comments on the limited work authorization 
from Federal, State, and local agencies and interested persons, 
consistent with 10 CFR 2.643. Comments should be submitted by November 
13, 2023, as described in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    The Commission will publish a future Federal Register notice of 
hearing and opportunity to petition for leave to intervene in a 
proceeding on the LWA application.

    Dated: September 6, 2023.
