On February 5, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published draft NUREG-1021, Revision 11, ``Operator Licensing Examination Standards for Power Reactors'' for public comment. The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on March 21, 2016. On March 3, 2016, the comment period was extended to April 5, 2016. On March 18, 2016, the NRC posted three updated sections of Examination Standards (ES) in NUREG-1021 that reflect three additional changes that the NRC proposes to incorporate into Revision 11. The public comment period closed on April 5, 2016. The NRC has decided to reopen the public comment period to allow more time for members of the public to develop and submit comments on Revision 11.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is granting an exemption from certain Tier 1 information in the generic design control document (DCD) and issuing License Amendment No. 31 to combined licenses (COL), NPF-93 and NPF-94. The COLs were issued to South Carolina Electric and Gas (SCE&G) and South Carolina Public Service Authority (Santee Cooper) (the licensee), for construction and operation of the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS), Units 2 and 3 located in Fairfield County, South Carolina. The granting of the exemption allows the changes to Tier 1 information and promotes consistency with the VCSNS updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR) Tier 2 information. Because the acceptability of the exemption was determined in part by the acceptability of the amendment, the exemption and amendment are being issued concurrently.
