SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of a 

partial exemption, pursuant to section 

73.5 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Specific 

exemptions,’’ from the ‘‘Physical 

barrier’’ requirements of 10 CFR 73.2, 

specifically with respect to the design 

criteria specified in 10 CFR 73.2 (1) 

‘‘fences,’’ as it applies to the angular 

specification for brackets used to 

support the required barbed wire (or 

similar material) topper, to FENOC and 

First Energy Nuclear Generation, LLC 

(collectively, the licensee), for DBNPS, 

Unit No. 1, located in Ottawa County, 

Ohio. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.21, the 

NRC has prepared an environmental 

assessment (EA) that analyzes the 

environmental effects of the proposed 

action. Based on the results of the EA, 

and in accordance with 10 CFR 51.31(a), 

the NRC has prepared a FONSI for the 

proposed exemption. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

The proposed action would grant the 

licensee a partial exemption from the 

‘‘physical barrier’’ requirements of 10 

CFR 73.2, specifically with respect to 

the design criteria specified in 10 CFR 

73.2(1) ‘‘fences,’’ as it applies to the 

angular specification for brackets used 

to support the required barbed wire (or 

similar material) topper. As stated in 10 

CFR 73.2, fences must be constructed of 

No. 11 American wire gauge, or heavier 

wire fabric, topped by three strands or 

more of barbed wire or similar material 

on brackets angled inward or outward 

between 30 and 45 degrees from the 

vertical, with an overall height of not 

less than 8 feet, including the barbed 

topping. If approved, the partial 

exemption would allow the licensee to 

continue to use, without modification, 

the current configuration of vertical 

barbed wire fence toppings in limited 

protected area sections on-site, as 

specified on the maps submitted by the 

licensee in its letter dated March 16, 

2018, to meet the regulatory 

requirements of 10 CFR part 73, 

‘‘Physical protection of plants and 

materials.’’ Specifically, barbed wire on 

top of physical barrier fencing on gates, 

near gates, near interfaces with 

buildings, and on corners is oriented 

vertically. 

The proposed action is in accordance 

with the licensee’s application dated 

July 19, 2017, as supplemented by 

letters dated March 16, 2018; and May 

2, 2018. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

Physical protection consists of a 

variety of measures to protect nuclear 

facilities and material against sabotage, 

theft, diversion, and other malicious 

acts. The NRC and its licensees use a 

graded approach for physical protection, 

consistent with the significance of the 

facilities or material to be protected. In 

so doing, the NRC establishes the 

regulatory requirements and assesses 

compliance, and licensees are 

responsible for providing the protection. 

The proposed action is needed to 

allow the licensee to continue to use, 

without modification, the current 

configuration of vertical barbed wire 

fence toppings in certain limited 

protected area sections on-site, as 

shown on the maps submitted by the 

licensee in its March 16, 2018, letter. 

Currently, some of the barbed wire 

bracketing on top of the protected area 

physical barrier fencing do not meet 

certain design criteria specified in 10 

CFR 73.2. Specifically, barbed wire on 

top of physical barrier fencing on gates, 

near gates, near interfaces with 

buildings, and on corners is oriented 

vertically. 

Separate from this EA, the NRC staff 

is evaluating the licensee’s proposed 

action which will be documented in a 

safety evaluation report. The staff’s 

review will determine whether there is 

reasonable assurance that the site 

maintains adequate protection from the 

current physical barriers in accordance 

with the requirements in 10 CFR part 

73. 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC has completed its 

environmental evaluation of the 

proposed action. The proposed action 

would grant the licensee a partial 

exemption from the ‘‘physical barrier’’ 

requirements of 10 CFR 73.2, 

specifically with respect to the design 

criteria specified in 10 CFR 73.2(1) 

‘‘fences,’’ as it applies to the angular 

specification for brackets used to 

support the required barbed wire (or 

similar material) topper. This will allow 

the licensee to continue using vertical, 

rather than angled, barbed wire fence 

toppings in certain limited protected 

area sections on site. 

The proposed action would have no 

direct impacts on land use or water 

resources, including terrestrial and 

aquatic biota as the proposed action 

involves no new construction or 

modification of plant operational 

systems. There would be no changes to 

the quality or quantity of nonradiological effluents. No changes to the 

plant’s National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System permit are needed. 

In addition, there would be no 

noticeable effect on air pollutant 

emissions, socio-economic conditions in 

the region, no environment justice 

impacts, and no impacts to historic and 

cultural resources. Therefore, there 

would be no significant non-radiological 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

The NRC has concluded that the 

proposed action would not significantly 

affect plant safety and would not have 

a significant adverse effect on the 

probability of an accident occurring. 

There would be no change to 

radioactive effluents that affect radiation 

exposures to plant workers and 

members of the public. No changes 

would be made to plant buildings or the 

site property. Therefore, implementing 

the proposed action would not result in 

a change to the radiation exposures to 

the public or radiation exposure to plant 

workers. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative). Denial of the exemption 

request would result in the licensee 

having to replace the vertical barbed 

wire fence toppings with angled barbed 

wire that meets the definition of 

‘‘Physical barrier’’ in 10 CFR 73.2. This 

could result in temporary, minor 

changes in vehicular traffic and 

associated air pollutant emissions due 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
44916 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 171 / Tuesday, September 4, 2018 / Notices 

to any construction-related impacts of 

performing the necessary modifications, 

but no significant changes in ambient 

air quality would be expected. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

There are no unresolved conflicts 

concerning alternative uses of available 

resources under the proposed action. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

The NRC staff did not enter into 

consultation with any other Federal 

agency or with the State of Ohio 

regarding the environmental impact of 

the proposed action. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The licensee has requested an 

exemption from the ‘‘physical barrier’’ 

requirements of 10 CFR 73.2, 

specifically with respect to the design 

criteria specified in 10 CFR 73.2(1) 

‘‘fences,’’ to allow the licensee to 

continue using vertical, rather than 

angled, barbed wire fence toppings in 

limited protected area sections on site. 

The NRC is considering issuing the 

requested exemption. The proposed 

action would not significantly affect 

plant safety, would not have a 

significant adverse effect on the 

probability of an accident occurring, 

and would not have any significant 

radiological and non-radiological 

impacts. This FONSI incorporates by 

reference the EA in Section II of this 

notice. Therefore, the NRC concludes 

that the proposed action will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

The related environmental document 

is NUREG–1437, ‘‘Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

License Renewal of Nuclear Plants: 

Regarding the Davis-Besse Nuclear 

Power Station, Final Report,’’

review of current operations and a
