Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 7, 2009 / Notices 15783 

3.4 Authorized by Law 

This exemption would allow TMI–1 

the use of operator manual actions in 

lieu of meeting the requirements 

specified in 10 CFR part 50, Appendix 

R, Section III.G.2. As stated above, 10 

CFR 50.12 allows the NRC to grant 

exemptions from the requirements of 10 

CFR part 50. The NRC staff has 

determined that granting of the 

licensee’s proposed exemption will not 

result in a violation of the Atomic 

Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the 

Commission’s regulations. Therefore, 

the exemption is authorized by law. 

3.5 No Undue Risk to Public Health 

and Safety 

The underlying purpose of 10 CFR 

part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2 is 

to ensure that one of the redundant 

trains necessary to achieve and maintain 

hot shutdown conditions remains free of 

fire damage in the event of a fire. Based 

on the existing fire barriers, fire 

detectors, automatic and manual fire 

suppression equipment, and the absence 

of significant combustible loads and 

ignition sources in the fire areas 

associated with this exemption, the NRC 

staff has concluded that granting of this 

involves no undue risk to public health 

and safety. 

The NRC staff has determined that 

this exemption also does not increase 

the probability or consequences of 

previously evaluated accidents. This 

determination is based on the NRC staff 

finding that the operator manual actions 

are not the sole form of protection relied 

upon due to the other fire protection 

features and procedures in place and the 

manual actions are considered feasible 

and reliable to ensure safe shutdown 

capability following a fire. The 

combination of the operator manual 

actions in conjunction with all of the 

measures and systems discussed above, 

results in an adequate level of 

protection. No new accident initiators 

are created by allowing the use of 

operator manual actions in the fire areas 

identified in this exemption and the 

probability of postulated accidents is 

not increased. Similarly, the 

consequences of postulated accidents 

are not increased. Therefore, there is no 

undue risk to public health and safety. 

3.6 Consistent With Common Defense 

and Security 

This exemption would allow TMI–1 

to credit the use of specific operator 

manual actions and installed fire 

protection features in lieu of meeting 

the requirements specified in 10 CFR 

part 50, Appendix R, Section III.G.2. 

This change, to the operation of the 

plant, has no relation to security issues 

nor does it diminish the level of safety 

from what was intended by the 

requirements contained in Section 

III.G.2. Therefore, the common defense 

and security is not impacted by this 

exemption. 

3.7 Special Circumstances 

One of the special circumstances 

described in 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) is 

that the application of the regulation is 

not necessary to achieve the underlying 

purpose of the rule. The underlying 

purpose of 10 CFR part 50, Appendix R, 

Section III.G.2 is to ensure that one of 

the redundant trains necessary to 

achieve and maintain hot shutdown 

conditions remains free of fire damage 

in the event of a fire. For the fire areas 

specified in this exemption, the NRC 

staff finds that the operator manual 

actions are feasible, can be reliably 

performed and that the fire protection 

features installed in the areas are 

effective at preventing and suppressing 

fires. Therefore, the conditions 

described herein will ensure that a 

redundant train necessary to achieve 

and maintain safe shutdown of the plant 

will remain free of fire damage in the 

event of a fire in these fire areas. The 

staff concludes that combination of the 

operator manual actions, in conjunction 

with all of the measures and systems 

discussed above, results in an 

equivalent level of protection to that 

intended by III.G.2. Since the 

underlying purpose of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix R, Section III.G is achieved, 

the special circumstances required by 

10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) for the granting of 

an exemption from 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix R, Section III.G.2 exist. 

4.0 Conclusion 

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 such that 

application of the regulation in these 

particular circumstances is not 

necessary to achieve the underlying 

purpose of the rule. Therefore, the 

Commission hereby grants Exelon an 

exemption from the requirements of 

Section III.G.2 of Appendix R of 10 CFR 

part 50, to TMI–1 for the two operator 

manual actions discussed above. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.32, the 

Commission has determined that the 

granting of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment (74 FR 9437). 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.

1Request of the United States Postal Service to 

Add Postal Products to the Mail Classification 

Schedule in Response to Order No. 154, March 10, 

2009 (Request). 

2 Docket No. MC2008–1, Review of Nonpostal 

Services, December 19, 2008, at 27–38 (Order No. 

154). The six services discussed in Order No. 154 

were Address Management Services; Customized 

Postage; Stamp Fulfillment Services; Greeting 

Cards, Stationery, and Related Items; Shipping and 

Mailing Supplies; and International Money Transfer 

Service (IMTS). One of the services, Stamp 

Fulfillment Services, has been modified and, in the 

view of the Postal Service, is no longer a postal 

service. Request at 10. Accordingly, the Request 

does not include Stamp Fulfillment Services among 

the services to be added to the MCS. Commenters 

may wish to address this change. Of the remaining 

five services discussed in Order No. 154, the market 

dominant address management services product has 

retained the name ‘‘Address Management Services’’ 

and has been included on the Market Dominant 

Product List. The competitive address management 

services product has been named ‘‘Address 

Enhancement Service’’ and has been included on 

the Competitive Product List. Finally, IMTS has 

been separated into an inbound product (IMTSInbound) and an outbound product (IMTSOutbound). As a result, the Postal Service has 

proposed the addition to the MCS of seven products 

in place of the six discussed by Order No. 154.
