SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction During the period from January 7, 2022, to January 21, 2022, the NRC granted five exemptions in response to requests submitted by four licensees from January 5, 2022, to January 19, 2022. These exemptions temporarily allow the licensees to deviate from certain requirements of chapter 1 of title 10 
                    *Code of Federal Regulations*
                     (10 CFR), part 26, “Fitness for Duty Programs,” section 26.205, “Work hours.” The exemptions from certain requirements of 10 CFR part 26 for Exelon Generation Company, LLC (for Clinton Power Station, Unit No. 1); for Energy Harbor Nuclear Corp. (for Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, Unit No. 1); for PSEG Nuclear LLC (for Hope Creek Generating Station and Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2); and for Arizona Public Service Company (for Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3) afford these licensees temporary relief from the work-hour control requirements under 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). The exemptions from 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7) ensure that the control of work hours and management of worker fatigue does not unduly limit licensee flexibility in using personnel resources to most effectively manage the impacts of the COVID-19 PHE on maintaining the safe operation of these facilities. Specifically, these licensees have stated that their staffing levels are affected or are expected to be affected by the COVID-19 PHE, and they can no longer meet or likely will not meet the work-hour controls of 10 CFR 26.205(d)(1) through (d)(7). These licensees have committed to effecting site-specific administrative controls for COVID-19 PHE fatigue-management for personnel specified in 10 CFR 26.4(a). The tables in this notice provide transparency regarding the number and type of exemptions the NRC has issued. Additionally, the NRC publishes tables of approved regulatory actions related to the COVID-19 PHE on its public website at 
                    *https://www.nrc.gov/​about-nrc/​covid-19/​reactors/​licensing-actions.html.* II. Availability of Documents The tables in this notice provide the facility name, docket number, document description, and ADAMS accession number for each exemption issued. Additional details on each exemption issued, including the exemption request submitted by the respective licensee and the NRC's decision, are provided in each exemption approval listed in the tables in this notice.
