Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 70 / Monday, April 13, 2015 / Notices 19701 

no significant increase in individual or 

cumulative public or occupational 

radiation exposure; (iv) there is no 

significant construction impact; (v) 

there is no significant increase in the 

potential for or consequences from 

radiological accidents; and (vi) the 

requirements from which an exemption 

is sought involve: Surety, insurance, or 

indemnity requirements 

The Director, Division of Operating 

Reactor Licensing, Office of Nuclear 

Reactor Regulation, has determined that 

approval of the exemption request 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration because reducing the 

licensee’s onsite property damage 

insurance for KPS does not (1) involve 

a significant increase in the probability 

or consequences of an accident 

previously evaluated; or (2) create the 

possibility of a new or different kind of 

accident from any accident previously 

evaluated; or (3) involve a significant 

reduction in a margin of safety. The 

exempted financial protection 

regulation is unrelated to the operation 

of KPS. Accordingly, there is no 

significant change in the types or 

significant increase in the amounts of 

any effluents that may be released 

offsite; and no significant increase in 

individual or cumulative public or 

occupational radiation exposure. The 

exempted regulation is not associated 

with construction, so there is no 

significant construction impact. The 

exempted regulation does not concern 

the source term (i.e., potential amount 

of radiation in an accident), nor 

mitigation. Therefore, there is no 

significant increase in the potential for, 

or consequences of, a radiological 

accident. In addition, there would be no 

significant impacts to biota, water 

resources, historic properties, cultural 

resources, or socioeconomic conditions 

in the region. The requirement for onsite 

property damage insurance may be 

viewed as involving surety, insurance, 

or indemnity matters. 

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 

51.22(b) and 51.22(c)(25), no 

environmental impact statement or 

environmental assessment need be 

prepared in connection with the 

approval of this exemption request. 

IV. Conclusions 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12(a), the exemption is authorized by 

law, will not present an undue risk to 

the public health and safety, and is 

consistent with the common defense 

and security. Also, special 

circumstances are present. Therefore, 

the Commission hereby grants DEK an 

exemption from the requirements of 10 

CFR 50.54(w)(1), to permit the licensee 

to reduce its onsite property damage 

insurance to a level of $50 million. 

The exemption is effective upon 

issuance.

of April, 2015.

II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘General 

Domestic Licenses for Byproduct 

Material.’’ The NRC hereby informs 

potential respondents that an agency 

may not conduct or sponsor, and that a 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

19702 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 70 / Monday, April 13, 2015 / Notices 

person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

November 19, 2014, 79 FR 68917. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: 10 CFR part 31, ‘‘General 

Domestic Licenses for Byproduct 

Material.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0016 

3. Type of submission: Extension with 

burden revision 

4. The form number if applicable: Not 

applicable 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Reports are submitted as 

events occur. General license 

registration requests may be submitted 

at any time. Changes to the information 

on the registration may be submitted as 

they occur. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Persons receiving, possessing, 

using, or transferring devices containing 

byproduct material.

10. Abstract: Part 31 of Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

establishes general licenses for the 

possession and use of byproduct 

material in certain devices. General 

licensees are required to keep testing 

records and submit event reports 

identified in Part 31, which assist the 

NRC in determining with reasonable 

assurance that devices are operated 

safely and without radiological hazard 

to users or the public.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is 

hereby given that the Deputy Director, 

Nuclear Reactor Regulation, has issued 

a final director’s decision (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML15054A365), on a 

petition filed by the petitioner on March 

5, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14071A006), as supplemented on 

April 8, May 21, and September 3, 2014 

(ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML14143A212, ML14142A101, and 

ML14259A135, respectively). The 

petitioner requested a number of actions 

be taken by the NRC and the licensee for 

equipment failures at PNP. As the basis 

for the request, the petitioner stated that 

there have been recent plant events and 

equipment failures at PNP, such as parts 

of the primary coolant pump (PCP) 

impeller breaking off and lodging in the 

reactor vessel (RV) and flaws in the 

control rod drive mechanisms (CRDMs). 

The petitioner requested immediate 

action to prevent the PNP from 

restarting due to a piece of PCP impeller 

that was lodged between the RV and the 

flow skirt and due to flawed CRDMs. 

By email dated March 19, 2014 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML14083A680), 

the NRC staff denied the petitioner’s 

request for immediate action to prevent 

PNP from restarting, based on the 

following factors: 

1. The NRC performed an in-depth 

independent review of the licensee’s 

analysis and concluded that the 

impeller piece did not pose a threat to 

safe operation of the reactor and RV. 

2. The licensee replaced all of the 

CRDM housings prior to plant startup. 

By teleconference on April 8, 2014, 

and again on September 3, 2014, the 

petitioner addressed the Petition Review 

Board (PRB). The meetings provided the 

petitioner with an opportunity to 

provide additional information and to 

clarify issues cited in the petition. The 

transcripts of these meeting were treated 

as supplements to the petition and are 

available in ADAMS, as previously 

noted. 

In the agency’s letter dated September 

25, 2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14237A726), the NRC accepted the 

following specific issues of the petition 

for review under Section 2.206 of Title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR): 

1. Request for PNP to open every PCP for 

inspection and clear up all flaws. 

2. Request for PNP to replace the PCPs 

with others designed for their intended duty.
