II. Additional Information 

The license amendment request was 

noticed in the Federal Register on 

August 10, 2021 (86 FR 43690). On 

February 22, 2022 (87 FR 9649), the 

notice was reissued following receipt of 

a supplement from the licensee that 

changed the scope of the license 

amendment request. The notice is being 

reissued in its entirety to correct the 

description of the amendment request 

stated in the February 22, 2022, notice. 

III. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of an 

amendment to Facility Operating 

License Nos. NPF–39 and NPF–85, 

issued to Constellation Energy 

Generation, LLC (the licensee) for 

operation of Limerick Generating 

Station, Units 1 and 2 located in 

Montgomery County, PA. 

By letter dated March 11, 2021 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21070A412), 

as supplemented by letters dated May 5, 

2021, December 15, 2021, and February 

14, 2022 (ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML21140A084, ML21349B364, and 

ML22045A480, respectively), the 

licensee submitted a license amendment 

request that would modify the licensing 

basis by revising the license condition 

in Appendix C to allow the use of an 

alternate defense-in-depth 

categorization process, an alternate 

pressure boundary categorization 

process, and an alternate seismic 

categorization process to allow the 

implementation of risk-informed 

categorization and treatment of 

structures, systems, and components in 

accordance with section 50.69 of title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), ‘‘Risk-informed categorization and 

treatment of structures, systems and 

components for nuclear power 

reactors.’’ 

Before any issuance of the proposed 

license amendment, the NRC will need 

to make the findings required by the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the Act), and NRC’s regulations. 

The NRC has made a proposed 

determination that the license 

amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration. Under 

the NRC’s regulations in 10 CFR 50.92, 

this means that operation of the facility 

in accordance with the proposed 

amendment would not (1) involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 53 / Friday, March 18, 2022 / Notices 15459 

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. As required by 10 CFR 

50.91(a), the licensee has provided its 

analysis of the issue of no significant 

hazards consideration, presented here: 

1. Does the proposed change involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

The proposed change will permit the use 

of the alternate defense-in-depth 

categorization process, the alternate pressure 

boundary categorization process, and the 

alternate seismic categorization process for 

the 10 CFR 50.69 risk-informed 

categorization process to modify the scope of 

SSCs subject to NRC special treatment 

requirements and to implement alternative 

treatments per the regulations. The process 

used to evaluate structures, systems, and 

components (SSCs) for changes to NRC 

special treatment requirements and the use of 

alternative requirements ensures the ability 

of the SSCs to perform their design function. 

The potential change to special treatment 

requirements does not change the design and 

operation of the SSCs. As a result, the 

proposed change does not significantly affect 

any initiators to accidents previously 

evaluated or the ability to mitigate any 

accidents previously evaluated. The 

consequences of the accidents previously 

evaluated are not affected because the 

mitigation functions performed by the SSCs 

assumed in the safety analysis are not being 

modified. The SSCs required to safely shut 

down the reactor and maintain it in a safe 

shutdown condition following an accident 

will continue to perform their design 

functions. Therefore, the proposed change 

does not involve a significant increase in the 

probability or consequences of an accident 

previously evaluated. 

2. Does the proposed change create the 

possibility of a new or different kind of 

accident from any accident previously 

evaluated? 

Response: No. 

The proposed change will permit the use 

of the alternate defense-in-depth 

categorization process, the alternate pressure 

boundary categorization process, and the 

alternate seismic categorization process for 

the 10 CFR 50.69 risk-informed 

categorization process to modify the scope of 

SSCs subject to NRC special treatment 

requirements and to implement alternative 

treatments per the regulations. The proposed 

change does not change the functional 

requirements, configuration, or method of 

operation of any SSC. Under the proposed 

change, no additional plant equipment will 

be installed. Therefore, the proposed change 

does not create the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any accident 

previously evaluated. 

3. Does the proposed change involve a 

significant reduction in a margin of safety? 

Response: No. 

The proposed change will permit the use 

of the alternate defense-in-depth 

categorization process, the alternate pressure 

boundary categorization process, and the 

alternate seismic categorization process for 

the 10 CFR 50.69 risk-informed 

categorization process to modify the scope of 

SSCs subject to NRC special treatment 

requirements and to implement alternative 

treatments per the regulations. The proposed 

change does not affect any Safety Limits or 

operating parameters used to establish a 

safety margin. The safety margins included in 

analyses of accidents are not affected by the 

proposed change. The regulation requires 

that there be no significant effect on plant 

risk due to any change to the special 

treatment requirements for SSCs and that the 

SSCs continue to be capable of performing 

their design basis functions, as well as to 

perform any beyond design basis functions 

consistent with the categorization process 

and results. Therefore, the proposed change 

does not involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. 

The NRC staff has reviewed the 

licensee’s analysis and based on this 

review, it appears that the three 

standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are 

satisfied. Therefore, the NRC staff 

proposes to determine that the license 

amendment request involves a no 

significant hazards consideration. 

The NRC is seeking public comments 

on this proposed determination that the 

license amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration. Any 

comments received within 30 days after 

the date of publication of this notice 

will be considered in making any final 

determination. 

Normally, the Commission will not 

issue the amendment until the 

expiration of 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. The 

Commission may issue the license 

amendment before expiration of the 60- 

day notice period if the Commission 

concludes the amendment involves no 

significant hazards consideration. In 

addition, the Commission may issue the 

amendment prior to the expiration of 

the 30-day comment period if 

circumstances change during the 30-day 

comment period such that failure to act 

in a timely way would result, for 

example, in derating or shutdown of the 

facility. If the Commission takes action 

prior to the expiration of either the 

comment period or the notice period, it 

will publish in the Federal Register a 

notice of issuance. If the Commission 

makes a final no significant hazards 

consideration determination, any 

hearing will take place after issuance. 

The Commission expects that the need 

to take this action will occur very 

infrequently. 

IV. Opportunity To Request a Hearing 

and Petition for Leave To Intervene 

Within 60 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, any person 

(petitioner) whose interest may be 

affected by this action may file a request 

for a hearing and petition for leave to 

intervene (petition) with respect to the 

action. Petitions shall be filed in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

‘‘Agency Rules of Practice and 

Procedure’’ in 10 CFR part 2. Interested 

persons should consult 10 CFR 2.309. If 

a petition is filed, the presiding officer 

will rule on the petition and, if 

appropriate, a notice of a hearing will be 

issued. 

Petitions must be filed no later than 

60 days from the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with the filing 

instructions in the ‘‘Electronic 

Submissions (E-Filing)’’ section of this 

document. Petitions and motions for 

leave to file new or amended 

contentions that are filed after the 

deadline will not be entertained absent 

a determination by the presiding officer 

that the filing demonstrates good cause 

by satisfying the three factors in 10 CFR 

2.309(c)(1)(i) through (iii). 

If a hearing is requested and the 

Commission has not made a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission will make a final 

determination on the issue of no 

significant hazards consideration, which 

will serve to establish when the hearing 

is held. If the final determination is that 

the amendment request involves no 

significant hazards consideration, the 

Commission may issue the amendment 

and make it immediately effective, 

notwithstanding the request for a 

hearing. Any hearing would take place 

after issuance of the amendment. If the 

final determination is that the 

amendment request involves a 

significant hazards consideration, then 

any hearing held would take place 

before the issuance of the amendment 

unless the Commission finds an 

imminent danger to the health or safety 

of the public, in which case it will issue 

an appropriate order or rule under 10 

CFR part 2. 

A State, local governmental body, 

Federally recognized Indian Tribe, or 

designated agency thereof, may submit 

a petition to the Commission to 

participate as a party under 10 CFR 

2.309(h) no later than 60 days from the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Alternatively, a State, local 

governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or agency 

thereof may participate as a non-party 

under 10 CFR 2.315(c).

about-nrc/regulatory/adjudicatory/ 

hearing.html#participate. 

V. Electronic Submissions (E-Filing) 

All documents filed in NRC 

adjudicatory proceedings including 

documents filed by an interested State, 

local governmental body, Federally 

recognized Indian Tribe, or designated 

agency thereof that requests to 

participate under 10 CFR 2.315(c), must 

be filed in accordance with 10 CFR 

2.302. The E-Filing process requires 

participants to submit and serve all 

adjudicatory documents over the 

internet, or in some cases, to mail copies 

on electronic storage media, unless an 

exemption permitting an alternative 

filing method, as further discussed, is 

granted. Detailed guidance on electronic 

submissions is located in the Guidance 

for Electronic Submissions to the NRC 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13031A056) 

and on the NRC website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.

html. 

To comply with the procedural 

requirements of E-Filing, at least 10 

days prior to the filing deadline, the 

participant should contact the Office of 

the Secretary by email at 

Hearing.Docket@nrc.gov, or by 

telephone at 301–415–1677, to (1) 

request a digital identification (ID) 

certificate, which allows the participant 

(or its counsel or representative) to 

digitally sign submissions and access 

the E-Filing system for any proceeding 

in which it is participating; and (2) 

advise the Secretary that the participant 

will be submitting a petition or other 

adjudicatory document (even in 

instances in which the participant, or its 

counsel or representative, already holds 

an NRC-issued digital ID certificate). 

Based upon this information, the 

Secretary will establish an electronic 

docket for the proceeding if the 

Secretary has not already established an 

electronic docket. 

Information about applying for a 

digital ID certificate is available on the 

NRC’s public website at https://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals/ 

getting-started.html. After a digital ID 

certificate is obtained and a docket 

created, the participant must submit 

adjudicatory documents in Portable 

Document Format. Guidance on 

submissions is available on the NRC’s 

public website at https://www.nrc.gov/ 

site-help/electronic-sub-ref-mat.html. A 

filing is considered complete at the time 

the document is submitted through the 

NRC’s E-Filing system. To be timely, an 

electronic filing must be submitted to 

the E-Filing system no later than 11:59 

p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. 

Upon receipt of a transmission, the EFiling system time-stamps the document 

and sends the submitter an email 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

that provides access to the document to 

the NRC’s Office of the General Counsel 

and any others who have advised the 

Office of the Secretary that they wish to 

participate in the proceeding, so that the 

filer need not serve the document on 

those participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before adjudicatory 

documents are filed to obtain access to 

the documents via the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC’s Electronic Filing Help Desk 

through the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located 

on the NRC’s public website at https:// 

www.nrc.gov/site-help/e-submittals.

html, by email to MSHD.Resource@

nrc.gov, or by a toll-free call at 1–866– 

672–7640. The NRC Electronic Filing 

Help Desk is available between 9 a.m. 

and 6 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday 

through Friday, excluding government 

holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing stating why there is good cause for 

not filing electronically and requesting 

authorization to continue to submit 

documents in paper format. Such filings 

must be submitted in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(b)–(d). Participants filing 

adjudicatory documents in this manner 

are responsible for serving their 

documents on all other participants. 

Participants granted an exemption 

under 10 CFR 2.302(g)(2) must still meet 

the electronic formatting requirement in 

10 CFR 2.302(g)(1), unless the 

participant also seeks and is granted an 

exemption from 10 CFR 2.302(g)(1). 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket, which is 

publicly available at https://

adams.nrc.gov/ehd, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the presiding 

officer. If you do not have an NRCissued digital ID certificate as 

previously described, click ‘‘cancel’’ 

when the link requests certificates and 

you will be automatically directed to the 

NRC’s electronic hearing dockets where 

you will be able to access any publicly 

available documents in a particular 

hearing docket. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

personal phone numbers in their filings 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. With respect to 

copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants should not include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission. 

For further details with respect to this 

action, see the application for license 

amendment dated March 11, 2021 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21070A412), 

as supplemented by letters dated May 5, 

2021, December 15, 2021, and February 

14, 2022 (ADAMS Accession Nos.
