F. the exemption will not result in a 

significant decrease in the level of safety 

otherwise provided by the design. 

2. Accordingly, the licensee is granted an 

exemption to the provisions of 10 CFR Part 

52, Appendix D, Section III.B, to allow 

deviations from the certified Design Control 

Document (DCD) Tier 2* information, as 

described in the licensee’s request dated 

March 19, 2014, and supplemented by the 

letters dated June 3, June 20, and July 9, 

2014. This exemption is related to, and 

necessary for the granting of License 

Amendment No. 18, which is being issued 

concurrently with this exemption. 

3. As explained in Section 5 of the NRC 

staff’s Safety Evaluation (ADAMS Accession 

Number ML14252A153), this exemption 

meets the eligibility criteria for categorical 

exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). 

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no 

environmental impact statement or 

environmental assessment needs to be 

prepared in connection with the issuance of 

the exemption. 

4. This exemption is effective as of October 

8, 2014. 

III. License Amendment Request 

The request for the amendment was 

submitted by the letter dated March 19, 

2014 (ADAMS Accession Number 

ML14079A599). The request for the 

exemption was submitted by the letter 

dated March 19, 2014 (ADAMS 

Accession Number ML14079A599). The 

licensee supplemented this request by 

letters dated June 3, 2014 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML14155A210), June 20, 

2014 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14174B135), and July 9, 2014 

(ADAMS Accession Number 

ML14190B356). The proposed license 

amendment request revises the UFSAR 

by reclassifying portions of the five Tier 

2* Human Factors V&V Technical 

Reports listed in UFSAR Table 1.6–1 

and Chapter 18, Subsection 18.11.2. 

The Commission has determined for 

these amendments that the application 

complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations. 

The Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. 

A notice of consideration of issuance 

of amendment to the facility operating 

license or combined license, as 

applicable, proposed no significant 

hazards consideration determination, 

and opportunity for a hearing in 

connection with these actions, was 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 5, 2014 (79 FR 45470). No 

comments were received during the 60- 

day comment period. 

The Commission has determined that 

these amendments satisfy the criteria for 

categorical exclusion in accordance 

with 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9). Therefore, 

pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no 

environmental impact statement or 

environmental assessment need be 

prepared for these amendments. 

IV. Conclusion 

Using the reasons set forth in the 

combined safety evaluation, the staff 

granted the exemption and issued the 

amendment that the licensee requested 

on March 19, 2014, and supplemented 

by letters dated June 3, June 20, and July 

9, 2014. The exemption and amendment 

were issued on October 8, 2014 as part 

of a combined package to the licensee 

(ADAMS Accession Number 

ML14252A056).
