changes were to accommodate increased
flow to the turbine building main sumps
during condensate polishing system
rinsing operations. SNC also requested
related exemptions from the
Commission’s regulations.
Part of the justification for granting
the exemption was provided by the
review of the amendment. Because the
exemption is necessary in order to issue
the requested license amendment, the
NRC granted the exemption and issued
the amendment concurrently, rather
than in sequence. This included issuing
a combined safety evaluation containing
the NRC staff’s review of both the
exemption request and the license
amendment. The exemption met all
applicable regulatory criteria set forth in
§§ 50.12, 52.7, and section VIII.A.4 of
appendix D to 10 CFR part 52. The
license amendment was found to be
acceptable as well. The combined safety
evaluation is available in ADAMS under
Accession No. ML17272A280.
Identical exemption documents
(except for referenced unit numbers and
license numbers) were issued to the
licensee for VEGP Units 3 and 4 (COLs
NPF–91 and NPF–92). The exemption
documents for VEGP Units 3 and 4 can
be found in ADAMS under Accession
Nos. ML17272A278 and ML17272A279,
respectively. The exemption is
reproduced (with the exception of
abbreviated titles and additional
citations) in Section II of this document.
The amendment documents for COLs
NPF–91 and NPF–92 are available in
ADAMS under Accession Nos.
ML17272A275 and ML17272A276,
respectively. A summary of the
amendment documents is provided in
Section III of this document.
II. Exemption
Reproduced below is the exemption
document issued to VEGP Units 3 and
Unit 4. It makes reference to the
combined safety evaluation that
provides the reasoning for the findings
made by the NRC (and listed under Item
1) in order to grant the exemption:
1. In a letter dated December 22, 2015,
as revised by letters dated July 27, 2016,
May 19, 2017, and the response to the
staff’s request for additional information
dated August 31, 2017, Southern
Nuclear Operating Company requested
from the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC or Commission) an
exemption to allow departures from Tier
1 information in the certified DCD
incorporated by reference in 10 CFR
part 52, appendix D, ‘‘Design
Certification Rule for the AP1000
Design,’’ as part of LAR 15–019,
‘‘Addition of New Turbine Building
Sump Pumps.’’

For the reasons set forth in Section 3.1
of the NRC staff’s safety evaluation,
which can be found at ADAMS
Accession No. ML17272A280, the
Commission finds that:
A. The exemption is authorized by
law;
B. the exemption presents no undue
risk to public health and safety;
C. the exemption is consistent with
the common defense and security;
D. special circumstances are present
in that the application of the rule in this
circumstance is not necessary to serve
the underlying purpose of the rule;
E. the special circumstances outweigh
any decrease in safety that may result
from the reduction in standardization
caused by the exemption; and
F. the exemption will not result in a
significant decrease in the level of safety
otherwise provided by the design.
2. Accordingly, the licensee is granted
an exemption from the certified DCD
Tier 1 information, with corresponding
changes to Appendix C of the Facility
Combined Licenses as described in the
request dated December 22, 2015, as
revised by letters dated July 27, 2016,
May 19, 2017, and the response to the
staff’s request for additional information
dated August 31, 2017. This exemption
is related to, and necessary for, the
granting of License Amendment Nos. 96
and 95, which is being issued
concurrently with this exemption.
3. As explained in Section 6.0 of the
NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation (ADAMS
Accession No. ML17272A280, this
exemption meets the eligibility criteria
for categorical exclusion set forth in 10
CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to
10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental
impact statement or environmental
assessment needs to be prepared in
connection with the issuance of the
exemption.
4. This exemption is effective as of the
date of its issuance.
III. License Amendment Request
By letter dated December 22, 2015, as
revised by letters dated July 27, 2016,
May 19, 2017, and the response to the
staff’s request for additional information
dated August 31, 2017 (ADAMS
Accession Nos. ML15356A655,
ML16209A477, ML17139D394, and
ML17243A459, respectively), the
licensee requested that the NRC amend
the COLs for VEGP, Units 3 and 4, COLs
NPF–91 and NPF–92. The proposed
amendment is described in Section I of
this Federal Register notice.
The Commission has determined for
these amendments that the application
complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act
of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the

PO 00000

Frm 00059

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

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 COL, as applicable, proposed
no significant hazards consideration
determination, and opportunity for a
hearing in connection with these
actions, was published in the Federal
Register on July 5, 2017 (82 FR 31089).
No comments were received during the
30-day comment period.
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.
IV. Conclusion
Using the reasons set forth in the
combined safety evaluation, the staff
granted the exemption and issued the
amendment that the licensee requested
on December 22, 2015, as revised by
letters dated July 27, 2016, May 19,
2017, and the response to the staff’s
request for additional information dated
August 31, 2017.
The exemption and amendment were
issued on November 6, 2017, as part of
a combined package to the licensee
(ADAMS Accession No. ML17272A272).
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 6th day
of December 2017.
