Consistency Changes 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Exemption and combined 

license amendment; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is granting an 

exemption to allow a departure from the 

certification information of Tier 1 of the 

generic design control document (DCD) 

and issuing License Amendment No. 23 

to Combined Licenses (COL), NPF–93 

and NPF–94. The COLs were issued to 

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company 

(SCE&G), and South Carolina Public 

Service Authority (the licensee), for 

construction and operation of the Virgil 

C. Summer Nuclear Station (VCSNS), 

Units 2 and 3 located in Fairfield 

County, South Carolina. 

The granting of the exemption allows 

the changes to Tier 1 information 

requested in the amendment. Because 

the acceptability of the exemption was 

determined in part by the acceptability 

of the amendment, the exemption and 

amendment are being issued 

concurrently.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is granting an exemption 

from the provisions of Paragraph B of 

Section III, ‘‘Scope and Contents,’’ of 

appendix D, ‘‘Design Certification Rule 

for the AP1000,’’ to part 52 of Title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR) and issuing License Amendment 

No. 23 to COLs, NPF–93 and NPF–94, 

to the licensee. The exemption is 

required by Paragraph A.4 of Section 

VIII, ‘‘Processes for Changes and 

Departures,’’ appendix D to 10 CFR part 

52 to allow the licensee to depart from 

Tier 1 information. With the requested 

amendment, the licensee sought 

changes to COL Appendix C and 

corresponding plant-specific Tier 1 

information to correct editorial errors 

and/or consistency errors (e.g., 

inconsistencies between Updated Final 

Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) (Tier 2) 

and Tier 1 information, and 

inconsistencies between information 

from different locations within Tier 1). 

Part of the justification for granting 

the exemption was provided by the 

review of the amendment. Because the 

exemption is necessary in order to issue 

the requested license amendment, the 

NRC granted the exemption and issued 

the amendment concurrently, rather 

than in sequence. This included issuing 

a combined safety evaluation containing 

the NRC staff’s review of both the 

exemption request and the license 

amendment. The exemption met all 

applicable regulatory criteria set forth in 

10 CFR 50.12, 10 CFR 52.7, and 

52.63(b)(1). The license amendment was 

found to be acceptable as well. The 

combined safety evaluation is available 

in ADAMS under Accession No. 

ML14345B029. 

Identical exemption documents 

(except for referenced unit numbers and 

license numbers) were issued to the 

licensee for VCSNS Units 2 and 3 (COLs 

NPF–93 and NPF–94). These documents 

can be found in ADAMS under 

Accession Nos. ML14352A155 and 

ML14352A164, respectively. The 

exemption is reproduced (with the 

exception of abbreviated titles and 

additional citations) in Section II of this

4Amendment No. 1 corrects the customer 

portfolio margin description in the Exhibit 3 to 

conform it to Exchange Rule 12.4. As the stated in 

the Notice, the MSCI EAFE and MSCI EM Index 

options would be subject to the same rules that 

currently govern other CBOE index options, 

including margin requirements. Amendment No. 1 

is not subject to notice and comment because it is 

technical in nature and does not materially alter the 

substance of the proposed rule change or raise any 

novel regulatory issues. 

document. The amendment documents 

for COLs NPF–93 and NPF–94 are 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

Nos. ML14351A419 and ML14351A424, 

respectively. A summary of the 

amendment documents is provided in 

Section III of this document. 

II. Exemption 

Reproduced below is the exemption 

document issued to VCSNS, Units 2 and 

3. It makes reference to the combined 

safety evaluation that provides the 

reasoning for the findings made by the 

NRC (and listed under Item 1) in order 

to grant the exemption: 

1. In a letter dated May 20, 2014, and 

supplemented by the letters dated June 

3, November 6, and November 14, 2014, 

South Carolina Electric & Gas Company 

(licensee) requested from the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

an exemption to allow departures from 

Tier 1 information in the certified 

Design Control Document (DCD) 

incorporated by reference in 10 CFR 

part 52, appendix D, ‘‘Design 

Certification Rule for the AP1000 

Design,’’ as part of license amendment 

request (LAR) 13–42, ‘‘Tier 1 Editorial 

and Consistency Changes.’’ 

For the reasons set forth in Section 3.1 

of the NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation, 

which can be found in ADAMS under 

Accession No. ML14345B029, the 

Commission finds that: 

A. The exemption is authorized by 

law; 

B. the exemption presents no undue 

risk to public health and safety; 

C. the exemption is consistent with 

the common defense and security; 

D. special circumstances are present 

in that the application of the rule in this 

circumstance is not necessary to serve 

the underlying purpose of the rule; 

E. the special circumstances outweigh 

any decrease in safety that may result 

from the reduction in standardization 

caused by the exemption; and 

F. the exemption will not result in a 

significant decrease in the level of safety 

otherwise provided by the design. 

2. Accordingly, the licensee is granted 

an exemption from the certified DCD 

Tier 1 Figures 2.2.4–1, 3.3–1 through 10, 

3.3–11A, 3.3–11B, and 3.3–12 through 

14; Tables 2.2.2–3, 2.2.3–4, 2.2.3–6, 

2.2.4–1, 2.2.4–4, 2.2.5–5, 2.3.2–2, 2.3.6– 

1, 2.3.6–4, 2.3.10–1, 2.3.10–4, 2.3.14–2, 

2.6.3–3, 2.6.3–4, 3.3–1, 3.3–6, 2.1.3–4, 

2.5.1–2 and 3.7–2; and Sections 2.6.3 

and 3.3, as described in the licensee’s 

request dated May 20, 2014, and 

supplemented on June 3, November 6, 

and November 14, 2014. This exemption 

is related to, and necessary for the 

granting of License Amendment No. 23, 

which is being issued concurrently with 

this exemption. 

3. As explained in Section 5.0 of the 

NRC staff’s Safety Evaluation (ADAMS 

Accession Number ML14345B029), this 

exemption meets the eligibility criteria 

for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 

CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, pursuant to 

10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental 

impact statement or environmental 

assessment needs to be prepared in 

connection with the issuance of the 

exemption. 

4. This exemption is effective as of the 

date of its issuance. 

III. License Amendment Request 

The request for the amendment and 

exemption was submitted by the letter 

dated May 20, 2014. The licensee 

supplemented this request by letter 

dated June 3, 2014. The proposed 

amendment is described in Section I, 

above. 

The Commission has determined for 

these amendments that the application 

complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

A notice of consideration of issuance 

of amendment to facility operating 

license or combined license, as 

applicable, proposed no significant 

hazards consideration determination, 

and opportunity for a hearing in 

connection with these actions, was 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 2, 2014 (79 FR 52059). The 

June 3, 2014 supplement had no effect 

on the no significant hazards 

consideration determination, and no 

comments were received during the 60- 

day comment period. 

The Commission has determined that 

these amendments satisfy the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, 

pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no 

environmental impact statement or 

environmental assessment need be 

prepared for these amendments. 

IV. Conclusion 

Using the reasons set forth in the 

combined safety evaluation, the staff 

granted the exemption and issued the 

amendment that the licensee requested 

on May 20, 2014, and supplemented by 

letter dated June 3, 2014. The exemption 

and amendment were issued on March 

10, 2015, as part of a combined package 

to the licensee (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14345B023). 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 7th day 

of April 2015.
