ATTACHMENT 1—GENERAL TARGET SCHEDULE FOR PROCESSING AND RESOLVING REQUESTS FOR ACCESS TO SENSITIVE

UNCLASSIFIED NON-SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION AND SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION IN THIS PROCEEDING

Day Event/activity 

0 ........................ Publication of Federal Register notice of hearing and opportunity to petition for leave to intervene, including order with instructions for access requests. 

10 ...................... Deadline for submitting requests for access to Sensitive Unclassified Non Safeguards Information (SUNSI) and/or Safeguards 

Information (SGI) with information: supporting the standing of a potential party identified by name and address; describing 

the need for the information in order for the potential party to participate meaningfully in an adjudicatory proceeding; demonstrating that access should be granted (e.g., showing technical competence for access to SGI); and, for SGI, including 

application fee for fingerprint/background check. 

60 ...................... Deadline for submitting petition for intervention containing: (i) Demonstration of standing; (ii) all contentions whose formulation 

does not require access to SUNSI and/or SGI (+25 Answers to petition for intervention; +7 requestor/petitioner reply). 

20 ...................... U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff informs the requestor of the staff’s determination whether the request for 

access provides a reasonable basis to believe standing can be established and shows (1) need for SUNSI or (2) need to 

know for SGI. (For SUNSI, NRC staff also informs any party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding would be harmed by the release of the information.) If NRC staff makes the finding of need for SUNSI and likelihood of standing, NRC staff begins document processing (preparation of redactions or review of redacted documents). If 

NRC staff makes the finding of need to know for SGI and likelihood of standing, NRC staff begins background check (including fingerprinting for a criminal history records check), information processing (preparation of redactions or review of redacted documents), and readiness inspections. 

25 ...................... If NRC staff finds no ‘‘need,’’ no ‘‘need to know,’’ or no likelihood of standing, the deadline for requestor/petitioner to file a 

motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s denial of access; NRC staff files copy of access determination with the 

presiding officer (or Chief Administrative Judge or other designated officer, as appropriate). If NRC staff finds ‘‘need’’ for 

SUNSI, the deadline for any party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding would be harmed by the 

release of the information to file a motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s grant of access. 

30 ...................... Deadline for NRC staff reply to motions to reverse NRC staff determination(s). 

40 ...................... (Receipt +30) If NRC staff finds standing and need for SUNSI, deadline for NRC staff to complete information processing and 

file motion for Protective Order and draft Non-Disclosure Affidavit. Deadline for applicant/licensee to file Non-Disclosure 

Agreement for SUNSI. 

190 .................... (Receipt +180) If NRC staff finds standing, need to know for SGI, and trustworthiness and reliability, deadline for NRC staff to 

file motion for Protective Order and draft Non-disclosure Affidavit (or to make a determination that the proposed recipient of 

SGI is not trustworthy or reliable). Note: Before the Office of Administration makes an adverse determination regarding access to SGI, the proposed recipient must be provided an opportunity to correct or explain information. 

205 .................... Deadline for petitioner to seek reversal of a final adverse NRC staff trustworthiness or reliability determination either before 

the presiding officer or another designated officer under 10 CFR 2.705(c)(3)(iv). 

A ....................... If access granted: Issuance of presiding officer or other designated officer decision on motion for protective order for access 

to sensitive information (including schedule for providing access and submission of contentions) or decision reversing a 

final adverse determination by the NRC staff. 

A + 3 ................. Deadline for filing executed Non-Disclosure Affidavits. Access provided to SUNSI and/or SGI consistent with decision issuing 

the protective order. 

A + 28 ............... Deadline for submission of contentions whose development depends upon access to SUNSI and/or SGI. However, if more 

than 25 days remain between the petitioner’s receipt of (or access to) the information and the deadline for filing all other 

contentions (as established in the notice of hearing or opportunity for hearing), the petitioner may file its SUNSI or SGI contentions by that later deadline. 

A + 53 ............... (Contention receipt +25) Answers to contentions whose development depends upon access to SUNSI and/or SGI.

I. Background 

On July 2, 1976, Humboldt Bay Power 

Plant (HBPP) Unit 3 was shut down for 

annual refueling and to conduct seismic 

modifications. The unit was never 

restarted. In 1983, updated economic 

analyses indicated that restarting Unit 3 

would probably not be cost-effective, 

and in June 1983, Pacific Gas and 

Electric Company (PG&E) announced its 

intention to decommission the unit. On 

July 16, 1985, the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC or 

Commission) issued Amendment No. 19 

to the HBPP Unit 3 Operating License to 

change the status to possess-but-notoperate. (ADAMS Accession No. 

8507260045.) In December of 2008, the 

transfer of spent fuel from the fuel 

storage pool to the dry-cask 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation (ISFSI) was completed, and 

the decontamination and dismantlement 

phase of HBPP Unit 3 decommissioning 

commenced. Active decommissioning is 

currently underway. 

II. Request/Action 

Section 50.47, ‘‘Emergency Plans,’’ of 

Part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR part 50) provides in 

part, ‘‘. . . no initial operating license 

for a nuclear power reactor will be 

issued unless a finding is made by the 

NRC that there is reasonable assurance 

that adequate protective measures can 

and will be taken in the event of a 

radiological emergency.’’ Appendix E, 

‘‘Emergency Planning and Preparedness 

for Production and Utilization 

Facilities,’’ to 10 CFR part 50 provides 

in part, ‘‘This appendix establishes 

minimum requirements for emergency 

plans for use in attaining an acceptable 

state of emergency preparedness.’’ 

On November 23, 2011, the NRC 

issued a Final Rule modifying or adding 

emergency planning (EP) requirements 

in Section 50.47, Section 50.54, and 

Appendix E of 10 CFR part 50 (76 FR 

72560). The EP Final Rule was effective 

on December 23, 2011, with specific 

implementation dates for each of the 

rule changes, varying from the effective 

date of the Final Rule through December 

31, 2015. 

The EP Final Rule codified certain 

voluntary protective measures 

contained in NRC Bulletin 2005–02, 

‘‘Emergency Preparedness and Response 

Actions for Security-Based Events,’’ and 

generically applicable requirements 

similar to those previously imposed by 

NRC Order EA–02–026, ‘‘Order for 

Interim Safeguards and Security 

Compensatory Measures,’’ dated 

February 25, 2002. In addition, the EP 

Final Rule amended other licensee 

emergency plan requirements to: (1) 

Enhance the ability of licensees in 

preparing and in taking certain 

protective actions in the event of a 

radiological emergency; (2) address, in 

part, security issues identified after the 

terrorist events of September 11, 2001; 

(3) clarify regulations to effect 

consistent emergency plan 

implementation among licensees; and 

(4) modify certain EP requirements to be 

more effective and efficient. However, 

the EP Final Rule was only an 

enhancement to the NRC’s regulations 

and was not necessary for adequate 

protection. On page 72563 of the 

Federal Register notice for the EP Final 

Rule, the Commission ‘‘determined that 

the existing regulatory structure ensures 

adequate protection of public health and 

safety and common defense and 

security.’’ 

By letter dated August 14, 2012, 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML12236A327) 

PG&E submitted a, ‘‘Request for 

Exemption from Specific 10 CFR 50 

Requirements Regarding Enhancements 

to Emergency Preparedness 

Regulations,’’ requesting exemption 

from specific emergency planning 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.47 and 

Appendix E to 10 CFR part 50 for the 

HBPP ISFSI. 

III. Discussion 

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) when special circumstances are 

present. 

The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s 

request and determined that exemptions 

were previously granted or should be 

granted from the following 

requirements: the requirement: 

‘‘arrangements to accommodate State 

and local staff at the licensee’s 

Emergency Operations Facility have 

been made’’ of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(3); the 

requirement: ‘‘and State and local 

response plans call for reliance on 

information provided by facility 

licensees for determinations of 

minimum initial offsite response 

measures’’ of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(4); the 

requirement of 10 CFR 50.47(b)(10); the 

requirement: ‘‘and onsite protective 

actions during hostile action’’ of 10 CFR 

part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.1; the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.2; the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.3; the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.4; the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.5; the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.6; the 

requirement: ‘‘By June 23, 2014,’’ ‘‘a 

description of the,’’ and ‘‘including 

hostile action at the site. For purposes 

of this appendix, ‘‘hostile action’’ is 

defined as an act directed toward a 

nuclear power plant or its personnel 

that include the use of violent force to 

destroy equipment, take hostages, and/ 

or intimidate the licensee to achieve an 

end. This includes attack by air, land, 

or water using guns, explosives, 

projectiles, vehicles, or other devices 

used to deliver destructive force’’ of 10 

CFR part 50, Appendix E, Section 

IV.A.7; the requirement of 10 CFR part 

50, Appendix E, Section IV.A.9; the 

requirements: ‘‘and outside, and offsite, 

and, By June 20, 2012, for nuclear power 

reactor licensees, these action levels 

must include hostile action that may 

adversely affect the nuclear power 

plant’’ of 10 CFR part 50, Appendix E, 

Section IV.B.1; the requirements: By 

June 20, 2012,’’ ‘‘within 15 minutes’’ 

and ‘‘to protect public health and safety 

provided that any delay in declaration 

does not deny the State and local 

authorities the opportunity to 

implement measures necessary to 

protect the public health and safety’’ of 

10 CFR part 50, Appendix E, Section 

IV.C.2; the requirement: ‘‘within 15 

minutes’’ and ‘‘The licensee shall 

demonstrate that the appropriate 

governmental authorities have the 

capability to make a public alerting and 

notification decision promptly on being 

informed by the licensee of an 

emergency condition. Prior to initial 

operation greater than 5 percent of rated 

thermal power of the first reactor at the 

site, each nuclear power reactor licensee 

shall demonstrate that administrative 

and physical means have been 

established for alerting and providing 

prompt instructions to the public with 

the plume exposure pathway EPZ. The 

design objective of the prompt public 

alert and notification system shall be to 

have the capability to essentially 

complete the initial alerting and 

notification of the public within the 

plume exposure pathway EPZ within 

about 15 minutes. The use of this 

alerting and notification capability will 

range from immediate alerting and 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
71802 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 232 / Wednesday, December 3, 2014 / Notices 

notification of the public (within 15 

minutes of the time that State and local 

officials are notified that a situation 

exists requiring urgent action) to the 

more likely events where there is 

substantial time available for the 

appropriate governmental authorities to 

make a judgment whether or not to 

activate the public alert and notification 

system. The alerting and notification 

capability shall additionally include 

administrative and physical means for a 

backup method of public alerting and 

notification capable of being used in the 

event the primary method of alerting 

and notification is unavailable during 

an emergency to alert or notify all or 

portions of the plume exposure pathway 

EPZ population. The backup method 

shall have the capability to alert and 

notify the public within the plume 

exposure pathway EPZ, but does not 

need to meet the 15 minute design 

objective for the primary prompt public 

alert and notification system. When 

there is a decision to activate the alert 

and notification system, the appropriate 

governmental authorities will determine 

whether to activate the entire alert and 

notification system simultaneously or in 

a graduated or staged manner. The 

responsibility for activating such a 

public alert and notification system 

shall remain with the appropriate 

governmental authorities’’ of 10 CFR 

part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3; the 

requirement: ‘‘onsite technical support 

center and an emergency operations’’ of 

10 CFR part 50, Appendix E, Section 

IV.E.8.a.(i); the requirement of 10 CFR 

part 50, Appendix E, Section 

IV.E.8.a.(ii); the requirement of 10 CFR 

part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.E.8.b; 

the requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.E.8.c; the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.E.8.d; the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.E.8.e, the 

requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.a; the 

requirement: ‘‘Nuclear power reactor 

licensees shall submit exercise scenarios 

under § 50.4 at least 60 days before use 

in an exercise required by this 

paragraph 2.b’’ and ‘‘and offsite’’ and 

‘‘(Technical Support Center (TSC), 

Operations Support Center (OSC), and 

the Emergency Operations Facility 

(EOF))’’ of 10 CFR part 50, Appendix E, 

Section IV.F.2.b; the requirement: ‘‘Such 

scenarios for nuclear power reactor 

licensees must include a wide spectrum 

of radiological releases and events, 

including hostile action’’ of 10 CFR part 

50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.i; and 

the requirement of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.I. 

The exemption request was reviewed 

against the acceptance criteria included 

in 10 CFR 50.47, Appendix E to 10 CFR 

part 50, 10 CFR 72.32 and Interim Staff 

Guidance—16. The review considered 

the permanently shut-down and 

defueled status of the reactor, and the 

low likelihood of any credible accident 

resulting in radiological releases 

requiring offsite protective measures. 

These evaluations were supported by 

the previously documented licensee and 

staff accident analyses. The staff 

concludes that the Humboldt Bay Site 

Emergency Plan provides: (1) An 

adequate basis for an acceptable state of 

emergency preparedness, and (2) in 

conjunction with arrangements made 

with offsite response agencies, provides 

reasonable assurance that adequate 

protective measures can and will be 

taken in the event of a radiological 

emergency at the Humboldt Bay Site. 

The Commission has concluded that 

the licensee’s request for an exemption 

from certain requirements of 10 CFR 

50.47(b) and 10 CFR part 50, Appendix 

E, Section IV as specified above are 

acceptable in view of the greatly 

reduced offsite radiological 

consequences associated with the 

current plant status as permanently 

shut-down and spent nuclear fuel is 

stored in an ISFSI. 

The NRC has determined that other 

requirements from which PG&E 

requested exemptions were not 

applicable to the HBPP and ISFSI or are 

being met by the Humboldt Bay Site 

Emergency Plan or an exemption was 

not appropriate. Therefore, an 

exemption was not necessary or was 

denied for those requirements. 

Additional information regarding the 

NRC staff evaluation is documented in 

a Safety Evaluation Report (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML13016A210). 

A. Exemption Is Authorized by Law 

The NRC has found that PG&E meets 

the criteria for an exemption in § 50.12. 

The NRC has determined that granting 

the 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. 

B. The Exemption Presents No Undue 

Risk to Public Health and Safety Is 

Consistent With the Common Defense 

and Security 

As noted in Section II., ‘‘REQUEST/

ACTION,’’ above, PG&E’s compliance 

with the EP requirements in effect 

before the effective date of the EP Final 

Rule demonstrated reasonable assurance 

of adequate protection of the public 

health and safety and common defense 

and security. In the Safety Evaluation 

Report, the NRC staff explains that 

PG&E’s implementation of the 

Humboldt Bay Site Emergency Plan, 

with the exemptions, will continue to 

provide this reasonable assurance of 

adequate protection. Thus, granting the 

exemptions will not present an undue 

risk to public health or safety and is not 

inconsistent with the common defense 

and security. 

C. Special Circumstances Are Present 

For the Commission to grant an 

exemption, special circumstances must 

exist. Under § 50.12(a)(2)(ii), special 

circumstances are present when 

‘‘[a]pplication of the regulation in the 

particular circumstances would not 

serve the underlying purpose of the rule 

or is not necessary to achieve the 

underlying purpose of the rule.’’ These 

special circumstances exist here. The 

NRC has determined that PG&E’s 

compliance with the regulations listed 

above is not necessary for the licensee 

to demonstrate that, under its 

emergency plan, there is reasonable 

assurance that adequate protective 

measures can and will be taken in the 

event of a radiological emergency. 

Consequently, special circumstances are 

present because requiring PG&E to 

comply with the regulations listed 

above is not necessary to achieve the 

underlying purpose of the EP 

regulations. 

D. Environmental Considerations 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.21, 51.32, and 

51.35, an environmental assessment and 

finding of no significant impact related 

to this exemption was published in the 

Federal Register on October 24, 2014 

(79 FR 63647). Based upon the 

environmental assessment, the 

Commission has determined that 

issuance of this exemption will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. 

IV. Conclusion 

The NRC staff reviewed the licensee’s 

submittals and concludes that the 

licensee’s request for an exemption from 

certain requirements of 10 CFR 50.47(b) 

and Appendix E to10 CFR part 50 as 

specified above is acceptable in view of 

the greatly reduced offsite radiological 

consequences associated with the 

current plant status as permanently shut 

down and spent nuclear fuel is stored in 

an ISFSI. 

The Commission has determined that, 

pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12, the 

exemptions are authorized by law, will 

not present an undue risk to the public 

health and safety, are consistent with 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

the common defense and security, and 

special circumstances are present. 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
