the investigation and reporting time for 

low-level radioactive waste shipments 

from 20 days to 35 days for rail and 

truck/rail mixed-mode shipments. 

Therefore, the Commission concludes 

that the underlying purpose of 10 CFR 

part 20, Appendix G, Section III.E will 

be met. 

4.0 Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

20.2301, the exemption requested by 

DECo in its letter dated February 5, 

2010, is authorized by law and will not 

result in undue hazards to life or 

property. Therefore, the Commission 

hereby grants DECo an exemption to 

extend the 20-day investigation and 

reporting requirements for shipments of 

low-level radioactive waste, as required 

by 10 CFR part 20, Appendix G, Section 

III.E, to 35 days. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.31, the 

Commission has determined that the 

granting of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment as documented in 

Federal Register (FR) notice (75 FR 

70707; November 18, 2010). 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day 

of November 2010.

Commission.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Docket No. 50–298; NRC–2008–0617] 

Nebraska Public Power District Cooper 

Nuclear Station; Notice of Issuance of 

Renewed Facility Operating License 

No. DPR–46 for an Additional 20-Year 

Period and Record of Decision 

Notice is hereby given that the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 

the Commission) has issued renewed 

facility operating license No. DPR–46 to 

Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD), 

the operator of the Cooper Nuclear 

Station (CNS). Renewed facility 

operating license No. DPR–46 

authorizes operation of CNS at reactor 

core power levels not in excess of 2419 

megawatts thermal (830 megawatts 

electric), in accordance with the 

provisions of the CNS renewed license 

and its technical specifications. 

The notice also serves as the record of 

decision for the renewal of facility 

operating license No. DPR–46, 

consistent with Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations 51.103 (10 CFR 

51.103). As discussed in the final 

Supplemental Environmental Impact 

Statement (FSEIS) for CNS, dated July 

2010, the Commission considered a 

range of reasonable alternatives that 

included generation from coal, natural 

gas, combination of alternatives, and the 

no action alternative. The factors 

considered in the record decision can be 

found in the FSEIS for CNS (Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

License Renewal of Nuclear Plants, 

Supplement 41). 

CNS is a BWR located in Nemaha 

County, Nebraska. The application for 

the renewed license complied with the 

standards and requirements of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and the Commission’s 

regulations. As required by the Act and 

the Commission’s regulations in 10 CFR 

Chapter I, the Commission has made 

appropriate findings, which are set forth 

in the license. Prior public notice of the 

action involving the proposed issuance 

of the renewed license and of an 

opportunity for a hearing regarding the 

proposed issuance of the renewed 

license was published in the Federal 

Register on December 30, 2008. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see: (1) NPPD’s license renewal 

application for CNS dated September 

24, 2008, as supplemented by letters 

dated through August 30, 2010; (2) the 

Commission’s safety evaluation report 

(NUREG–1944), published in October 

2010; (3) the applicant’s updated safety

impact statement (NUREG–1437, 

Supplement 41), for CNS, published in
