universe and the search for and study of Earth-like planets and habitable, extrasolar environments. In addition to scientific research, the scope encompasses considerations of the development of near-term enabling technologies, systems, and computing and information management capabilities, developments with the potential to provide long-term improvements in future operational systems, as well as training of the next generation of astronomers, and education and public outreach.

• Earth Science Subcommittee (ESS)—The Earth Science Subcommittee is a standing subcommittee of the NASA Advisory Council’s (the Council) Science Committee supporting the advisory needs of the Administrator, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), SMD’s Earth Science Division (ESD), and other NASA Mission Directorates as required. The scope of the ESS includes the advancement of scientific knowledge of the Earth system through space-based observation and the pioneering use of these observations in conjunction with process studies, data assimilation and modeling to provide the Nation with improved capability to: predict climate variability, global change, and weather; mitigate and respond to natural hazards; and improve the scientific basis for policy decisions. In addition to observations and scientific research, the scope encompasses the development of computing and information management capabilities and other enabling technologies, including those with the potential to improve future operational satellite and ground systems.

• Heliophysics Subcommittee (HPS)—Heliophysics Subcommittee is a standing subcommittee of the NASA Advisory Council’s (the Council) Science Committee supporting the advisory needs of the Administrator, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), SMD’s Heliophysics Division (HPD), and other NASA Mission Directorates as required. The scope of the HPS includes all aspects of heliophysics, including the dynamical behavior of the Sun and its heliosphere; the dynamical behavior of the space environments of the Earth and other solar system bodies; the multi-scale interaction between solar system plasmas and the interstellar medium; and energy transport throughout the solar system and its impact on the Earth and other solar system bodies. In addition to scientific research, the scope encompasses considerations of the development of enabling technologies, systems, and computing and information management capabilities, as well as developments with the potential to provide long-term improvements to future space weather operational systems.

• Planetary Protection Subcommittee (PPS)—Planetary Protection Subcommittee is a standing subcommittee of the NASA Advisory Council’s (the Council) Science Committee supporting the advisory needs of the Administrator, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), SMD’s Planetary Science Division, NASA’s Planetary Protection Officer and other NASA Mission Directorates as required. The scope of the PPS includes programs, policies, plans, hazard identification and risk assessment, and other matters pertinent to the Agency’s responsibilities for biological planetary protection. This scope includes consideration of NASA planetary protection policy documents, implementation plans, and organization. The subcommittee will review and recommend appropriate planetary protection categorizations for all bodies of the solar system to which spacecraft will be sent. The scope also includes the development of near-term enabling technologies, systems, and capabilities, as well as developments with the potential to provide long-term improvements in future operational systems to support planetary protection. Outside the scope of the Subcommittee’s responsibilities are issues that pertain solely to the quality and interpretation of scientific experiments and data in support of solar system exploration.

• Planetary Science Subcommittee (PSS)—Planetary Science Subcommittee is a standing subcommittee of the NASA Advisory Council’s (the Council) Science Committee supporting the advisory needs of the Administrator, the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), SMD’s Planetary Science Division (PSD), and other NASA Mission Directorates as required. The scope of the PSS includes all aspects of planetary science, scientific exploration of the Moon and Mars, the robotic explorationof the solar system, astrobiology, spaceand ground-based research, technology development, planning, and training required to support these science areas. In addition to scientific research, the scope encompasses considerations of the development of near-term enabling technologies, systems, and computing and information management capabilities, as well as developments with the potential to provide long-term improvements in future operational systems. Responsibility for biological planetary protection is outside the purview of the PSS and resides with the Planetary Protection Subcommittee (PPS).

**NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION** 

**[Docket Nos. 50–361 and 50–362; NRC– 2014–0170]** 

**Southern California Edison Company; San Onofre Nuclear Generating**  **Station, Units 2 and 3**

**AGENCY :**  Nuclear Regulatory Commission. **ACTION :**  Exemption; issuance.

**SUMMARY :**  The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing exemptions in response to a February 13, 2014, request from Southern California Edison Company (SCE, or the licensee), representing itself and the other owners. The exemptions would permit the use of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), Units 2 and 3, decommissioning Trust funds for purposes other than decommissioning activities and would allow the licensee to use withdrawals from the decommissioning Trust funds without prior notification to the NRC. The NRC has reviewed the Trusts and determined that, at this time, there is reasonable assurance of sufficient financial resources in the Trusts to complete decommissioning activities.
