Proposed Collection: Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The National Endowment for 

the Arts, as part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, conducts a preclearance 

consultation program to provide the 

general public and Federal agencies 

with an opportunity to comment on 

proposed and/or continuing collections 

of information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(A)]. This 

program helps ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

National Endowment for the Arts, on 

behalf of the Federal Council on the 

Arts and the Humanities, is soliciting 

comments concerning renewal of the 

Application for Domestic Indemnity. A 

copy of this collection request can be 

obtained by contacting the office listed 

below in the ADDRESSES section of this 

notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section below on or before 

April 1, 2011. The National Endowment 

for the Arts is particularly interested in 

comments which: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

—Enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

—Minimize the burden of the collection 

of information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms 

of information technology, e.g., 

permitting the electronic submissions 

of responses.

BILLING CODE 7536–01–P 

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[Docket No. 52–037; NRC–2008–0556] 

Ameren Missouri; Combined License 

Application for Callaway Plant Unit 2; 

Exemption 

1.0 Background 

Union Electric Company, doing 

business as Ameren UE, submitted to 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) a Combined License 

(COL) Application for a single unit of 

AREVA NP’s U.S. EPR in accordance 

with the requirements of Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

subpart C of part 52, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certifications, and Approvals for 

Nuclear Power Plants.’’ This reactor is to 

be identified as Callaway Plant 

(Callaway), Unit 2, and located at the 

current Callaway County, Missouri site 

of the Callaway Power Plant. The 

Callaway, Unit 2, COL application is 

based upon and linked to the U.S. EPR 

reference COL (RCOL) application for 

UniStar’s Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power 

Plant, Unit 3 (CCNPP3). The NRC 

docketed the Callaway, Unit 2, COL 

application on December 12, 2008. In its 

letter to the NRC dated April 28, 2009, 

Ameren informed that it was 

suspending its efforts to build a nuclear 

power plant in Missouri. Subsequently, 

by letter dated June 23, 2009, Ameren 

requested the NRC to suspend all review 

activities relating to the Callaway, Unit 

2, COL application. The NRC informed 

Ameren by letter dated June 29, 2009, 

that it had suspended all review 

activities relating to the Callaway, Unit 

2, COL application. The NRC is 

currently performing a detailed review 

of the CCNPP3 RCOL application, as 

well as AREVA NP’s application for 

design certification of the U.S. EPR. 

2.0 Request/Action 

The regulations specified in 10 CFR 

50.71(e)(3)(iii) require that an applicant 

for a combined license under 10 CFR 

part 52 shall, during the period from 

docketing of a COL application until the 

Commission makes a finding under 10 

CFR 52.103(g) pertaining to facility 

operation, submit an annual update to 

the application’s Final Safety Analysis 

Report (FSAR), which is a part of the 

application. 

On February 25, 2009, Ameren 

submitted Revision 1 to the COL 

application, including updates to the 

FSAR. Pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.71(e)(3)(iii), the next annual update 

would be due in December 2010. Union 

Electric Company, doing business as 

Ameren Missouri (Ameren) as of 

October 1, 2010, as noted in its letter to 

the NRC dated October 26, 2010, has 

requested a one-time exemption from 

the 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(iii) requirements 

to submit the scheduled 2010 and 2011 

COL application FSAR updates, and 

proposed for approval of a new 

submittal deadline of December 31, 

2012, for the next FSAR update. 

In summary, the requested exemption 

is a one-time schedule change from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.71(e)(3)(iii). 

The exemption would allow Ameren to 

submit the next FSAR update at a later 

date, but still in advance of NRC’s 

reinstating its review of the application 

and in any event, by December 31, 2012. 

The current FSAR update schedule 

could not be changed, absent the 

exemption. Ameren requested the 

exemption by letter dated October 26, 

2010 (Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS) 

Accession Number ML103090556). 

3.0 Discussion 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the NRC 

may, upon application by any interested 

person or upon its own initiative, grant 

exemptions from the requirements of 10 

CFR Part 50, including Section 

50.71(e)(3)(iii) when: (1) the exemptions 

are authorized by law, will not present 

an undue risk to public health or safety, 

and are consistent with the common 

defense and security; and (2) special 

circumstances are present. As relevant 

to the requested exemption, special 

circumstances exist if: (1) ‘‘Application 

of the regulation in the particular 

circumstances would not serve the 

underlying purpose of the rule or is not 

necessary to achieve the underlying 

purpose of the rule’’ (10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(ii)); (2) ‘‘Compliance would 

result in undue hardship or other costs 

that are significantly in excess of those 

contemplated when the regulation was
