whether the employee provided 

sufficient information to justify the 

request. 

Because the OMB number assigned to 

this form was obtained through 

emergency clearance, the OMB number 

is only valid for six months and will 

expire on May 31, 2022. In anticipation 

of future requests from its employees, 

the NTSB is specifically seeking an 

extension of this currently-approved 

collection. 

Prior to submitting the ICR to OIRA, 

the NTSB published in December 2020, 

a 60-day Notice in the Federal Register, 

soliciting comments until February 15, 

2022; however, no comments were 

received as of the close of the comment 

period. Accordingly, the NTSB is 

publishing this 30-Day Notice to inform 

the public that the agency is submitting 

an ICR to OIRA for review and that 

future comments are to be sent directly 

to OIRA. 

The NTSB currently is soliciting 

public comments that include: (1) 

Whether the proposed collection is 

necessary for the NTSB to perform its 

mission; (2) the accuracy of the 

estimated burden; (3) ways for the NTSB 

to enhance the quality, usefulness, and 

clarity of the IC; and (4) ways to 

minimize burden without reducing the 

quality of the IC. 

A Notice Regarding Injunctions 

The vaccination requirement issued 

pursuant to E.O. 14043 is currently the 

subject of a nationwide injunction. 

While that injunction remains in place, 

the NTSB will not process requests for 

a medical exception from the COVID–19 

vaccination requirement pursuant to 

E.O. 14043. The NTSB will also not 

request the submission of any medical 

information related to a request for an 

exception from the vaccination 

requirement pursuant to E.O. 14043 

while the injunction remains in place. 

But the NTSB may nevertheless receive 

information regarding a medical 

exception. That is because, if the NTSB 

were to receive a request for an 

exception from the COVID–19 

vaccination requirement pursuant to 

E.O. 14043 during the pendency of the 

injunction, the NTSB will accept the 

request, hold it in abeyance, and notify 

the employee who submitted the request 

that implementation and enforcement of 

the COVID–19 vaccination requirement 

pursuant to E.O. 14043 is currently 

enjoined and that an exception therefore 

is not necessary so long as the 

injunction is in place. In other words, 

during the pendency of the injunction, 

any information collection related to 

requests for medical exception from the 

COVID–19 vaccination requirement 

pursuant to E.O. 14043 is not 

undertaken to implement or enforce the 

COVID–19 vaccination requirement. 

Title of Collection: Request for a 

Medical Exception to the COVID–19 

Vaccination Requirement.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Docket Nos. 50–237 and 50–249 

Constellation Energy Generation, LLC; 

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 

and 3 

Exemption 

I. Background 

Constellation Energy Generation, LLC 

(the licensee), is the holder of Renewed 

Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–19 

and DPR–25 which authorize operation 

of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, 

Units 2 and 3, respectively. These units 

are boiling-water reactors located in 

Grundy County, Illinois. The licenses 

provide, among other things, that the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2022 / Notices 16247 

facility is subject to all rules, 

regulations, and orders of the U.S. 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, 

Commission) now or hereafter in effect. 

The current operating licenses for 

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 

and 3, expire on December 22, 2029, 

and January 12, 2031, respectively. 

II. Request/Action 

By letter dated October 28, 2021, 

Exelon Generation Company, LLC 

requested an exemption from 10 CFR 

2.109(b) to allow the subsequent license 

renewal applications (SLRAs) for 

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 

and 3, to be submitted no later than 3 

years prior to the expiration of the 

existing licenses and still receive timely 

renewal protection under 10 CFR 

2.109(b). On February 1, 2022 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML22032A333), Exelon 

Generation Company, LLC was renamed 

Constellation Energy Generation, LLC. 

Under 10 CFR 54.17(a), the NRC 

requires that the filing of an application 

for a renewed license be in accordance 

with, among other regulations, 10 CFR 

2.109(b), ‘‘Effect of timely renewal 

application.’’ In turn, 10 CFR 2.109(b) 

states ‘‘If the licensee of a nuclear power 

plant licensed under 10 CFR 50.21(b) or 

50.22 files a sufficient application for 

renewal of either an operating license or 

a combined license at least 5 years 

before the expiration of the existing 

license, the existing license will not be 

deemed to have expired until the 

application has been finally 

determined.’’ 

III. Discussion 

Under 10 CFR 54.15, exemptions from 

the requirements of Part 54 are governed 

by 10 CFR 50.12. Pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12, the Commission may, upon 

application by any interested person or 

upon its own initiative, grant 

exemptions from the requirements of 10 

CFR part 50 when (1) the exemptions 

are authorized by law, will not present 

an undue risk to public health or safety, 

and are consistent with the common 

defense and security; and (2) special 

circumstances are present, as defined in 

10 CFR 50.12(a)(2). In its application, 

the licensee stated that three special 

circumstances apply to its request. The 

three special circumstances that the 

licensee included in its request are: 

(1) Application of the regulation 

would not serve the underlying purpose 

of the rule or is not necessary to achieve 

the underlying purpose of the rule. 

(2) Compliance would result in undue 

hardship or other costs that are 

significantly in excess of those 

contemplated when the regulation was 

adopted, or that are significantly in 

excess of those incurred by others 

similarly situated. 

(3) It is in the public interest to grant 

the exemption based on new and 

material circumstances that did not 

exist when the NRC adopted Section 

2.109(b). 

A. The Exemption Is Authorized by Law 

This exemption would allow the 

licensee to submit sufficient SLRAs for 

Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 

and 3, no later than 3 years prior to the 

expiration of its existing licenses and 

the licenses would still be in timely 

renewal under 10 CFR 2.109(b). Section 

2.109 implements Section 9(b) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA), 5 

U.S.C. 558(c), which states: 

When the licensee has made timely and 

sufficient application for a renewal or a new 

license in accordance with agency rules, a 

license with reference to an activity of a 

continuing nature does not expire until the 

application has been finally determined by 

the agency. 

The 5-year time period specified in 10 

CFR 2.109 is the result of a discretionary 

agency rulemaking under Sections 161 

and 181 of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended, and not required by 

the APA. As stated above, 10 CFR 

54.17(a) requires that the filing of an 

application for a renewed license be in 

accordance with, among other 

regulations, 10 CFR 2.109(b). In 

addition, 10 CFR 54.15 allows the NRC 

to grant exemptions from the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 54. The 

NRC has determined that granting this 

exemption will not result in a violation 

of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as 

amended, the APA, or the NRC’s 

regulations. Therefore, the exemption is 

authorized by law. 

B. The Exemption Presents no Undue 

Risk to Public Health and Safety 

The requested exemption to allow a 3- 

year time period, rather than the 5 years 

specified in 10 CFR 2.109(b), for the 

licensee to submit sufficient SLRAs and 

place the licenses in timely renewal is 

a scheduling change. The action does 

not change the manner in which the 

plant operates and maintains public 

health and safety because no additional 

changes are made as a result of the 

action. The NRC expects that a period 

of 3 years provides sufficient time for 

the NRC to perform a full and adequate 

safety and environmental review, and 

for the completion of the hearing 

process. Pending final action on the 

SLRAs, the NRC will continue to 

conduct all regulatory activities 

associated with licensing, inspection, 

and oversight, and will take whatever 

action may be necessary to ensure 

adequate protection of the public health 

and safety. The existence of this 

exemption does not affect NRC’s 

authority, applicable to all licenses, to 

modify, suspend, or revoke a license for 

cause, such as a serious safety concern. 

Based on the above, the NRC finds that 

the action does not cause undue risk to 

public health and safety. 

C. The Exemption Is Consistent With the 

Common Defense and Security 

The requested exemption to allow a 3- 

year time period, rather than the 5 years 

specified in 10 CFR 2.109(b), for the 

licensee to submit sufficient SLRAs and 

place the licenses in timely renewal is 

a scheduling change. The exemption 

does not change any site security 

matters. Therefore, the NRC finds that 

the action is consistent with the 

common defense and security. 

D. Special Circumstances 

The purpose of 10 CFR 2.109(b), as it 

is applied to nuclear power reactors 

licensed by the NRC, is to implement 

the ‘‘timely renewal’’ provision of 

Section 9(b) of the APA, 5 U.S.C. 558(c), 

which states: 

When the licensee has made timely and 

sufficient application for a renewal or a new 

license in accordance with agency rules, a 

license with reference to an activity of a 

continuing nature does not expire until the 

application has been finally determined by 

the agency. 

The underlying purpose of this 

‘‘timely renewal’’ provision in the APA 

is to protect a licensee who is engaged 

in an ongoing licensed activity and who 

has complied with agency rules in 

applying for a renewed or new license 

from facing license expiration as the 

result of delays in the administrative 

process. 

On December 13, 1991, the NRC 

published the final license renewal rule, 

10 CFR part 54, with associated changes 

to 10 CFR parts 2, 50, and 140, in the 

Federal Register (56 FR 64943). The 

statements of consideration discussed 

the basis for establishing the latest date 

for filing license renewal applications 

and the timely renewal doctrine (56 FR 

64962). The statements of consideration 

stated that: 

Because the review of a renewal 

application will involve a review of many 

complex technical issues, the NRC estimates 

that the technical review would take 

approximately 2 years. Any necessary 

hearing could likely add an additional year 

or more. Therefore, in the proposed rule, the 

Commission modified § 2.109 to require that 

nuclear power plant operating license 

renewal applications be submitted at least 3 

years prior to their expiration in order to take 

advantage of the timely renewal doctrine. 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
16248 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2022 / Notices 

No specific comment was received 

concerning the proposal to add a 3-year 

provision for the timely renewal provision 

for license renewal. The current regulations 

require licensees to submit decommissioning 

plans and related financial assurance 

information on or about 5 years prior to the 

expiration of their operating licenses. The 

Commission has concluded that, for 

consistency, the deadline for submittal of a 

license renewal application should be 5 years 

prior to the expiration of the current 

operating license. The timely renewal 

provisions of § 2.109 now reflect the decision 

that a 5-year time limit is more appropriate. 

Thus, the NRC originally estimated 

that 3 years was needed to review a 

renewal application and to complete 

any hearing that might be held on the 

application. The NRC changed its 

original deadline from 3 years to 5 years 

to have consistent deadlines for when 

licensees must submit their 

decommissioning plans and related 

financial assurance information and 

when they must submit their license 

renewal applications to place their 

licenses in timely renewal. 

Application of the 5-year period in 10 

CFR 2.109(b) is not necessary to achieve 

the underlying purpose of the timely 

renewal provision in the regulation if 

the licensee files sufficient Dresden 

Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, 

SLRAs no later than 3 years prior to 

expiration of the licenses. The NRC’s 

current schedule for review of SLRAs is 

to complete its review and make a 

decision on issuing the renewed license 

within 18 months of receipt if there is 

no hearing. If a hearing is held, the 

NRC’s model schedule anticipates 

completion of the NRC’s review and of 

the hearing process, and issuance of a 

decision on the license renewal 

application within 30 months of receipt. 

However, it is recognized that the 

estimate of 30 months for completion of 

a contested hearing is subject to 

variation in any given proceeding. A 

period of 3 years (36 months), 

nevertheless, is expected to provide 

sufficient time for performance of a full 

and adequate safety and environmental 

review, and completion of the hearing 

process. Meeting this schedule is based 

on a complete and sufficient application 

being submitted and on the review 

being completed in accordance with the 

NRC’s established license renewal 

review schedule. 

Based on the above, the NRC finds 

that the special circumstance of 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(ii) is present in the particular 

circumstance of Dresden Nuclear Power 

Station, Units 2 and 3. 

In addition, the NRC finds that the 

special circumstance of 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(iii) is present in the 

circumstances of Dresden Nuclear 

Power Station, Units 2 and 3. 

Compliance with § 2.109(b) would 

result in undue hardship or other costs 

that are significantly in excess of those 

contemplated when the regulation was 

adopted. In its application, Exelon (now 

Constellation) stated that the decision to 

continue power operation at Dresden 

Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, 

depended on economic and legislative 

factors that evolved in a way that did 

not permit the preparation and 

submission of SLRAs 5 years prior to 

each unit’s license expiration date. The 

licensee further stated that if the 

exemption is not granted, and it submits 

its SLRAs less than 5 years before 

license expiration, then the licensee 

would face the risk of being forced to 

shut down if the application is not 

approved before the current licenses 

expire. The impact of changes in 

economic and legislative conditions on 

licensees’ decisions to pursue license 

renewal was not a factor considered at 

the time the timely renewal rule was 

issued. The NRC therefore finds that the 

special circumstance of 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(iii) also is present. Because 

the NRC staff finds that special 

circumstances exist under 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(ii) and 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(iii), the NRC staff did not 

consider whether special circumstances 

also exist under 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(vi), 

as presented by the licensee in its 

exemption request. 

E. Environmental Considerations 

The NRC has determined that the 

issuance of the requested exemption 

meets the provisions of the categorical 

exclusion in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). Under 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25), the granting of an 

exemption from the requirements of any 

regulation of chapter 10 qualifies as a 

categorical exclusion if (i) there is no 

significant hazards consideration; (ii) 

there is no significant change in the 

types or significant increase in the 

amounts of any effluents that may be 

released offsite; (iii) there is 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 involves one of several 

matters, including scheduling 

requirements (§ 51.22(c)(25)(iv)(G)). The 

basis for NRC’s determination is 

provided in the following evaluation of 

the requirements in 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25)(i)–(vi). 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i) 

To qualify for a categorical exclusion 

under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i), the 

exemption must involve a no significant 

hazards consideration. The criteria for 

making a no significant hazards 

consideration determination are found 

in 10 CFR 50.92(c). The NRC has 

determined that the granting of the 

exemption request involves no 

significant hazards consideration 

because allowing the submittal of the 

license renewal application no later 

than 3 years before the expiration of the 

existing license and deeming the license 

in timely renewal under 10 CFR 

2.109(b) 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. Therefore, the 

requirements of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i) 

are met. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(ii) 

and (iii) 

The exemption constitutes a change to 

the schedule by which the licensee must 

submit its SLRAs and still place the 

licenses in timely renewal, which is 

administrative in nature, and does not 

involve any change in the types or 

significant increase in the amounts of 

effluents that may be released offsite 

and does not contribute to any 

significant increase in occupational or 

public radiation exposure. 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. Therefore, the requirements of 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(ii) and (iii) are met. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iv) 

The exempted regulation is not 

associated with construction, and the 

exemption does not propose any 

changes to the site, alter the site, or 

change the operation of the site. 

Therefore, the requirements of 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25)(iv) are met because there is 

no significant construction impact. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(v) 

The exemption constitutes a change to 

the schedule by which the licensee must 

submit its SLRAs and still place the 

licenses in timely renewal, which is 

administrative in nature, and does not 

impact the probability or consequences 

of accidents. Thus, there is no 

significant increase in the potential for, 

or consequences of, a radiological 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2022 / Notices 16249 

accident. Therefore, the requirements of 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(v) are met. 

Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi) 

To qualify for a categorical exclusion 

under 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(G), the 

exemption must involve scheduling 

requirements. The exemption involves 

scheduling requirements because it 

would allow the licensee to submit 

SLRAs for Dresden Nuclear Power 

Station, Units 2 and 3, no later than 3 

years prior to the expiration of the 

existing licenses, rather than the 5 years 

specified in 10 CFR 2.109(b), and still 

place the licenses in timely renewal 

under 10 CFR 2.109(b). Therefore, the 

requirements of 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi) 

are met. 

Based on the above, the NRC 

concludes that the proposed exemption 

meets the eligibility criteria for a 

categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25). Therefore, pursuant to 10 

CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact 

statement or environmental assessment 

need be prepared in connection with the 

approval of this exemption request. 

IV. Conclusions 

Accordingly, the NRC has determined 

that, pursuant to 10 CFR 54.15 and 10 

CFR 50.12, the requested 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, as defined in 10 

CFR 50.12(a)(2), are present. Therefore, 

the NRC hereby grants the licensee a 

one-time exemption for Dresden 

Nuclear Power Station, Units 2 and 3, 

from 10 CFR 2.109(b) to allow the 

submittal of the Dresden Nuclear Power 

Station, Units 2 and 3, SLRAs no later 

than 3 years prior to expiration of the 

operating licenses. 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
