Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that the exemption is in the public interest. IV. Environmental Considerations Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.32, and 51.35, an environmental assessment and finding of no significant impact regarding this exemption request was published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2024 (89 FR 53665). Based upon the environmental assessment, the Commission has determined that issuance of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. V. Conclusions Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 37.11(a), the exemption is authorized by law, will not endanger life or property or the common defense and security, and is in the public interest.

Abstract: As part of a joint industry-NRC initiative, the NRC receives information submitted voluntarily by power reactor licensees regarding selected performance attributes known as performance indicators (PIs). PIs are objective measures of the performance of licensee systems or programs. The NRC uses PI information and inspection results in its Reactor Oversight Process (ROP) to make decisions about plant performance and regulatory response. Licensees transmit PIs electronically to reduce burden on themselves and the NRC. Licensees also participate in the ROP Performance Indicator Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) process that it is used to resolve interpretation issues with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document, NEI 99–02, ‘‘Regulatory Assessment Performance Indicator Guideline.’’ The ROP PI FAQ process and white papers may also be used to propose changes to NEI 99–02 guidance and the PI Program.

Background The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–33, DPR– 52, and DPR–68, and General License No. 72–052, which authorize the operation of the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3, and an independent spent fuel storage installation (Browns Ferry or Browns Ferry site), respectively, located in Limestone County, Alabama. The renewed operating licenses are subject to all applicable provisions of the Atomic Energy Act, and to the rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) now or hereafter in effect.

The provisions of 10 CFR part 37 establish physical security requirements to prevent the theft or diversion of risksignificant radioactive materials (i.e., category 1 and category 2 quantities of radioactive material). As stated in NUREG–2155, Rev. 2, ‘‘Implementation Guidance for 10 CFR part 37, ‘‘Physical Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 Quantities of Radioactive Material’’’’ (ML22083A141), 10 CFR 37.11 exempts radioactive wastes that contain category 2 quantities or greater of radioactive material from the security requirements in subparts B, C, and D of 10 CFR part 37. Instead, the radioactive waste is subject to the requirements in 10 CFR 37.11(c)(1) through (c)(4). The E:\FR\FM\19JYN1.SGM 19JYN1
