Virtual Public Meeting, 104242-104243 [2024-30460]

Download as PDF 104242 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 245 / Friday, December 20, 2024 / Notices similarly situated (10 CFR 50.12(a)(2(iii)). The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(iii) is to ensure that the NRC receives timely notification of the nature and estimated effect of errors or changes in the limiting ECCS analysis. A thorough understanding of ECCS performance is critical to the staff’s review; however, since review of the U.S. EPR standard design certification application has been suspended at the applicant’s request, any report filed under 10 CFR 50.46 would not be reviewed until such time as the design certification review is reactivated. Framatome has committed to submit the required report before requesting that the NRC reactivate its review of the design certification. Submitting a report under 50.46(a)(3)(iii) before the resumption of any review of the design certification is sufficient to meet the underlying purpose of the regulation. Submitting annual reports for the years 2024 through 2028 while the review is suspended is not necessary to meet the underlying purpose of the regulation. The preparation of reports required by 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(iii) is time consuming and requires resources to review and document the condition reports for any change to or error in an acceptable evaluation model or in the application of such a model. As such, requiring Framatome to submit annual 10 CFR 50.46 reports that would not be reviewed would be to subject them to an undue hardship that is significantly in excess of those contemplated when the regulation was adopted. For the above stated reasons, special circumstances are present under 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.12(2)(iii). ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Eligibility for Categorical Exclusion From Environmental Review With respect to the exemption’s impact on the quality of the human environment, the NRC has determined that this specific exemption request is eligible for categorical exclusion as identified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25) provided that: (i) There is no significant hazards consideration; The criteria for determining whether there is no significant hazards consideration are found in 10 CFR 50.92(c). The proposed action involves only a schedule change regarding the submission of a report on errors or changes in the ECCS analysis for a standard design certification application review which is currently suspended. Therefore, there is no significant hazards consideration because granting the proposed exemption would not: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:12 Dec 19, 2024 Jkt 265001 (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. (ii) There is no significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite; The proposed action involves only a schedule change, which is administrative in nature and does not involve any changes to be made in the types or significant increase in the amounts of effluents that may be released offsite. (iii) There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative public or occupational radiation exposure; Since the proposed action involves only a schedule change, which is administrative in nature, it does not contribute to any significant increase in occupational or public radiation exposure. (iv) There is no significant construction impact; The proposed action involves only a schedule change which is administrative in nature; the application is for a standard design certification the review of which is suspended until further notice. No application for construction or operation has been filed. Accordingly, the proposed action does not involve any construction impact. (v) There is no significant increase in the potential for or consequences from radiological accidents; The proposed action involves only a schedule change which is administrative in nature and does not impact the probability or consequences of accidents. (vi) The requirements from which an exemption is sought involve: (1) Reporting requirements; The exemption request involves submitting a report required by 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(iii); and (2) Scheduling requirements; The proposed exemption relieves the applicant from submitting the required reports for the years 2024 through 2028. IV. Conclusion Accordingly, the Commission has determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a), the 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 by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2), are present. Therefore, the PO 00000 Frm 00171 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Commission hereby grants Framatome an extension to the exemption from the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(iii) until December 31, 2028. This exemption provides that Framatome shall submit a report under 10 CFR 50.46(a)(3)(iii) before making any request that the NRC resume its review of the U.S. EPR standard design certification application and that Framatome shall update that report or take other appropriate actions no later than December 31, 2028. Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22, the Commission has determined that the exemption request meets the applicable categorical exclusion criteria set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25), and the granting of this exemption will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. This exemption is effective upon issuance. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day of December 2024. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Michele Sampson, Director, Division of New and Renewed Licenses, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
