BILLING CODE 7509–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 50–302; NRC–2010–0105] 

Florida Power Corporation, et al.; 

Crystal River Unit 3 Nuclear 

Generating Plant; Exemption 

1.0 Background 

Florida Power Corporation (FPC, the 

licensee) is the holder of Facility 

Operating License No. DPR–72, which 

authorizes operation of the Crystal River 

Unit 3 Nuclear Generating Plant (CR–3). 

The license provides, among other 

things, that the facility is subject to all 

rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 

the Commission) now or hereafter in 

effect. 

The facility consists of one 

pressurized-water reactor located in 

Citrus County, Florida. 

2.0 Request/Action 

Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) part 73, ‘‘Physical 

protection of plants and materials,’’ 

Section 73.55, ‘‘Requirements for 

physical protection of licensed activities 

in nuclear power reactors against 

radiological sabotage,’’ published as a 

final rule in the Federal Register on 

March 27, 2009, effective May 26, 2009, 

with a full implementation date of 

March 31, 2010, requires licensees to 

protect, with high assurance, against 

radiological sabotage by designing and 

implementing comprehensive site 

security plans. The amendments to 10 

CFR 73.55 published on March 27, 2009 

(74 FR 13926), establish and update 

generically applicable security 

requirements similar to those previously 

imposed by Commission orders issued 

after the terrorist attacks of September 

11, 2001, and implemented by licensees. 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
70954 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices 

In addition, the amendments to 10 CFR 

73.55 include additional requirements 

to further enhance site security based 

upon insights gained from 

implementation of the post-September 

11, 2001, security orders. 

By letter dated March 25, 2010 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML100630530), 

the NRC granted an exemption to the 

licensee for four specific items subject 

to the revised rule in 10 CFR 73.55, 

allowing the implementation of two 

items to be extended until November 15, 

2010, and the implementation of two 

other items until December 15, 2010. All 

other physical security requirements 

established by this rulemaking have 

been implemented by the licensee. 

By letter dated September 8, 2010, the 

licensee requested an exemption in 

accordance with 10 CFR 73.5, ‘‘Specific 

exemptions.’’ Portions of the licensee’s 

September 8, 2010, letter contain 

security-related information and, 

accordingly, a redacted version of this 

letter is available for public review in 

the Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System Accession 

(ADAMS) No. ML102530129. The 

licensee requested this exemption to 

allow an additional extension from the 

current implementation dates granted in 

the prior exemption for the four specific 

remaining requirements that involve 

significant physical upgrades to the 

CR–3 security systems. The licensee 

requested the previous exemption based 

on the conceptual design information 

available at that time. The licensee has 

further developed its design changes 

and has completed its discovery phase. 

Due to the unforeseen need for design 

changes and the associated analysis 

necessary to achieve full compliance 

with the Final Rule, additional time is 

needed to complete the complex revised 

design and construction. Specifically, 

the licensee’s request is to extend the 

implementation dates from November 

15 and December 15, 2010, to December 

15, 2011, and March 15, 2012, 

respectively. Granting this exemption 

extending the implementation dates for 

the four remaining items would allow 

the licensee to perform necessary design 

changes and to complete significant 

physical modifications to the CR–3 

security system including constructing a 

new two-story building to meet the 

Final Rule requirements. 

3.0 Discussion of Part 73 Schedule 

Exemption From the March 31, 2010, 

Full Implementation Date 

Pursuant 10 CFR 73.55(a)(1), ‘‘By 

March 31, 2010, each nuclear power 

reactor licensee, licensed under 10 CFR 

part 50, shall implement the 

requirements of this section through its 

Commission-approved Physical Security 

Plan, Training and Qualification Plan, 

Safeguards Contingency Plan, and Cyber 

Security Plan referred to collectively 

hereafter as ‘security plans.’ ’’ In 

accordance with 10 CFR 73.5, the 

Commission may, upon application by 

any interested person or upon its own 

initiative, grant exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 73 when 

the exemptions are authorized by law, 

and will not endanger life or property or 

the common defense and security, and 

are otherwise in the public interest. 

NRC approval of this exemption 

would allow an additional extension 

from the implementation dates 

approved under a previous exemption 

from November 15 and December 15, 

2010, to December 15, 2011, and March 

15, 2012, respectively, for four specific 

remaining requirements of the final rule. 

As stated above, 10 CFR 73.5 allows the 

NRC to grant exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 73. The NRC 

staff has determined that granting of the 

licensee’s proposed exemption would 

not result in a violation of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the 

Commission’s regulations. Therefore, 

the exemption is authorized by law. 

In the draft final rule provided to the 

Commission, the NRC staff proposed 

that the requirements of the new 

regulation be met within 180 days. The 

Commission directed a change from 180 

days to approximately 1 year for 

licensees to fully implement the new 

requirements. This change was 

incorporated into the final rule. From 

this, it is clear that the Commission 

wanted to provide a reasonable 

timeframe for licensees to reach full 

compliance. 

As noted in the final rule, the 

Commission also anticipated that 

licensees would have to conduct sitespecific analyses to determine what 

changes were necessary to implement 

the rule’s requirements, and that 

changes could be accomplished through 

a variety of licensing mechanisms, 

including exemptions. Since issuance of 

the final rule, the Commission has 

rejected a request to generically extend 

the rule’s compliance date for all 

operating nuclear power plants, but 

noted that the Commission’s regulations 

provide mechanisms for individual 

licensees, with good cause, to apply for 

relief from the compliance date 

(Reference: June 4, 2009, letter from R. 

W. Borchardt, NRC, to M. S. Fertel, 

Nuclear Energy Institute (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML091410309)). The 

licensee’s request for an exemption is, 

therefore, consistent with the approach 

set forth by the Commission and 

discussed in the June 4, 2009, letter. 

Crystal River Schedule Exemption 

Request 

The licensee provided detailed 

information in its letter dated 

September 8, 2010, describing the 

reason and justification for an 

exemption to extend the 

implementation dates for the four 

remaining requirements. Additionally, 

the licensee has provided information 

regarding the expanded scope for 

projects at CR–3 and the impacts on the 

licensee’s ability to meet the current 

implementation dates of November 15, 

and December 15, 2010. The licensee 

changed the scope significantly to 

ensure that its new plans will meet 

regulatory requirements. Because of the 

change, the licensee could not meet the 

implementation dates granted by the 

previous exemption. The licensee is 

now constructing a new two-story 

building to meet these requirements and 

this excavation and construction 

expands the project to well beyond the 

implementation dates in the previously 

granted exemption, thus prompting this 

exemption request. Portions of the 

September 8, 2010, letter contain 

security-related information regarding 

the site security plan, details of specific 

portions of the regulation from which 

the licensee seeks exemption, 

justification for the additional extension 

request, a description of the required 

changes to the site’s security 

configuration, and a revised timeline 

with critical path activities that would 

enable the licensee to achieve full 

compliance by March 15, 2012. The 

timeline provides dates indicating when 

(1) Design activities will be completed 

and approved, (2) construction of a new 

two-story building will be completed, 

and (3) the new and relocated 

equipment will be installed and tested. 

The site-specific information 

provided within the CR–3 exemption 

request is relative to the requirements 

from which the licensee requested 

exemption and demonstrates the need 

for modification to meet the four 

specific remaining requirements of 

10 CFR 73.55. The proposed 

implementation schedule depicts the 

critical activity milestones of the 

security system upgrades; is consistent 

with the licensee’s solution for meeting 

the requirements; is consistent with the 

scope of the modifications and the 

issues and challenges identified; and is 

consistent with the licensee’s requested 

compliance date. 

Notwithstanding the proposed 

schedule exemption for these four 

remaining requirements, the licensee 

will continue to be in compliance with 

all other applicable physical security 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 223 / Friday, November 19, 2010 / Notices 70955 

requirements as described in 10 CFR 

73.55 and reflected in its current NRCapproved physical security program. By 

March 15, 2012, CR–3 physical security 

system will be in full compliance with 

all of the regulatory requirements of 10 

CFR 73.55, as published on March 27, 

2009. 

4.0 Conclusion for Part 73 Schedule 

Exemption Request 

The NRC staff has reviewed the 

licensee’s submittals and concludes that 

the licensee has provided adequate 

justification for its request for an 

extension of the previously authorized 

implementation dates from November 

15 and December 15, 2010, with regard 

to four specified requirements of 10 CFR 

73.55, to December 15, 2011, and March 

15, 2012, respectively. This conclusion 

is based on the NRC staff’s 

determination that the licensee has 

made a good faith effort to meet the 

requirements in a timely manner, has 

sufficiently described the reason for the 

unanticipated delays, and has provided 

an updated detailed schedule with 

adequate justification to the additional 

time requested for the extension. 

The long-term benefits that will be 

realized when the security systems 

upgrade is complete justify extending 

the full compliance date with regard to 

the specific requirements of 10 CFR 

73.55 for this particular licensee. The 

security measures that CR–3 needs 

additional time to implement are new 

requirements imposed by amendments 

to 10 CFR 73.55, as published on March 

27, 2009, and are in addition to those 

required by the security orders issued in 

response to the events of September 11, 

2001. Accordingly, an exemption from 

the March 31, 2010, implementation 

date is authorized by law and will not 

endanger life or property or the common 

defense and security, and the 

Commission hereby grants the requested 

exemption. 

As per the licensee’s request and the 

NRC’s regulatory authority to grant an 

exemption to the March 31, 2010, 

implementation date for the four items 

specified in Attachment 1 of the FPC 

letter dated September 8, 2010, the 

licensee is required to implement two 

items by December 15, 2011, and to 

implement the remaining two items by 

March 15, 2012. The licensee is required 

to be in full compliance with 10 CFR 

73.55 by March 15, 2012. In achieving 

compliance, the licensee is reminded 

that it is responsible for determining the 

appropriate licensing mechanism (i.e., 

10 CFR 50.54(p) or 10 CFR 50.90) for 

incorporation of all necessary changes 

to its security plans. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.32, 

‘‘Finding of no significant impact,’’ the 

Commission has previously determined 

that the granting of this exemption will 

not have a significant effect on the 

quality of the human environment (75 

FR 69710 dated November 15, 2010). 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day 

of November 2010.
