significant increase in potential for, or 

consequences from, a radiological 

accident. Therefore, the categorical 

exclusion defined in 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(11) is applicable, and no 

further environmental evaluation is 

needed.

5. Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR

law, will not present an undue risk to 

public health and safety, and is 

consistent with the common defense 

and security. Also, special 

circumstances are present. Therefore, 

the Commission hereby grants CYAPCO 

an exemption to the licensee’s previous 

exemptions from the requirements of 10 

CFR 50.54(q), as granted by NRC on 

August 28, 1998 (ML980903182); which 

requires EPs to meet 10 CFR 50.47(b) 

and Appendix E to Part 50. Specifically, 

this exemption allows onsite EP 

exercises to be conducted once every 

two years, in lieu of the annual 

requirement currently in place. 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 2.106, the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) is 

providing notice of the issuance of Early 

Site Permit (ESP) ESP–001 to Exelon 

Generation Company, LLC (EGC or the 

permit holder), for approval of a site 

located 6 miles east of the city of 

Clinton, Illinois, for one or more nuclear 

power facilities separate from the filing 

of an application for a construction 

permit or combined license for such a 

facility. The NRC has found that the 

application for an ESP filed by EGC 

complies with the applicable 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended, and the applicable 

rules and regulations of the 

Commission, and all required 

notifications to other agencies or bodies 

have been duly made. Based on 

consideration of the site criteria 

contained in 10 CFR Part 100, a reactor, 

or reactors, having design characteristics 

that fall within the site characteristics 

and controlling parameters of the EGC 

ESP Site can be constructed and 

operated without undue risk to the 

health and safety of the public. There is 

reasonable assurance that the permit 

holder will comply with the regulations 

in 10 CFR Chapter I, and the health and 

safety of the public will not be 

endangered. Issuance of an ESP to the 

permit holder will not be inimical to the 

common defense and security or the 

health and safety of the public. 

There is no significant impediment to 

the development of emergency plans, as 

referenced in 10 CFR 52.17(b)(1) and 10 

CFR 52.18, ‘‘Standards for Review of 

Applications.’’ The descriptions of 

contacts and arrangements made with 

Federal, State, and local governmental 

agencies with emergency planning 

responsibilities, as set forth in 10 CFR 

52.17(b)(3), are acceptable. Major 

features A, B, C, D, E, F, G, I, J, K, L, 

O, and P of the emergency plan are 

acceptable to the extent specified in 

NUREG–1844, ‘‘Safety Evaluation 

Report for an Early Site Permit (ESP) at 

the Exelon Generation Company, LLC 

(EGC) ESP Site.’’ The issuance of this 

ESP, subject to the Environmental 

Protection Plan and the conditions for 

the protection of the environment set 

forth herein, is in accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, and with applicable 

sections of 10 CFR Part 51, 

‘‘Environmental Protection Regulations 

for Domestic Licensing and Related 

Regulatory Functions,’’ as referenced by 

Subpart A of 10 CFR Part 52, ‘‘Early Site 

Permits; Standard Design Certifications; 

and Combined Licenses for Nuclear 

Power Plants,’’ and all applicable 

requirements therein have been 

satisfied. The site redress plan 

incorporated into this permit 

demonstrates that there is reasonable 

assurance that redress carried out under 

the plan, if required, will achieve an 

environmentally stable and aesthetically 

acceptable site suitable for whatever 

non-nuclear use may conform with local 

zoning laws, and those activities 

performed described in the site redress 

plan will not result in any significant 

adverse environmental impact that 

cannot be redressed. The permit 

holder’s request for the proposed permit 

was previously noticed in the Federal 

Register on December 12, 2003, (68 FR 

69426) with a notice of hearing and 

opportunity to petition for leave to 

intervene. 

This early site permit complies with 

the standards and requirements of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, 

and NRC’s rules and regulations as set 

forth in 10 CFR Chapter I. Accordingly, 

Early Site Permit No. ESP–001 was 

issued to Exelon Generation Company, 

LLC on March 15, 2007, and is effective 

immediately.

Preclosure Safety Analysis—Level of 

Information and Reliability Estimation; 

Availability of Final Interim Staff 

Guidance Document 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is announcing the 

availability of the final interim staff 

guidance (ISG) document HLWRS–ISG–

02, ‘‘Preclosure Safety Analysis—Level 

of Information and Reliability 

Estimation,’’ and NRC responses to the 

public comments received on that 

document. The ISG clarifies or refines 

the guidance provided in the Yucca 

Mountain Review Plan (YMRP) 

(NUREG–1804, Revision 2, July 2003). 

The YMRP provides guidance to NRC 

staff to evaluate a potential license 

application for a high-level radioactive 

waste at a geologic repository 

constructed or operated at Yucca 

Mountain (YM), Nevada. 

ADDRESSES: The document HLWRS–

ISG–02 is available electronically at 

NRC’s Electronic Reading Room, at 

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm.html. 

From this site, a member of the public 

can access NRC’s Agencywide

NRC Responses to Public Comments 

on HLWRS–ISG–02: In preparing final 

HLWRS–ISG–02, ‘‘Preclosure Safety 

Analysis—Level of Information and 

Reliability Estimation,’’ ADAMS 

ML070260204, the NRC staff reviewed 

and considered 23 comments, including 

two editorial comments, received from 

two organizations during the public 

comment period. Two of the comments 

were identical; three comments were 

related to the ISG process; one comment 

endorsed NRC’s recognition of the use 

of the published reliability values for 

structures, systems, and components 

(SSCs); and the remaining comments 

included recommendations on specific 

clarifying changes to the ISG. Three 

comments on the ISG process were 

consistent with the comments made 

earlier on HLWRS–ISG–01, and were 

addressed in responses to public 

comment on HLWRS–ISG–01 [see 71 FR 

57582, Comments 13(a) and (b)].
