SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    On August 6, 2024, the NRC granted an exemption in response to a 
request submitted by Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
    This exemption temporarily allows the licensee to deviate from 
certain requirements of part 73 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), ``Physical Protection of Plants and Materials,'' 
subpart T, ``Security Notifications, Reports, and Recordkeeping.'' In 
support of its exemption request, the licensee agreed to effect site-
specific administrative controls that maintain the approach to 
complying with 10 CFR part 73 in effect prior to the NRC's issuance of 
a final rule, ``Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks, and 
Security Event Notifications,'' which was published in the Federal 
Register on March 14, 2023, and became effective on April 13, 2023 (88 
FR 15864).
