78502 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 249 / Tuesday, December 30, 2014 / Notices 

Consistent With Common Defense and 

Security 

The exemption would allow EOI to 

suspend maintaining the Departures 

Report and the DCD Update Report and 

forego submitting these reports until 

December 31, 2015, or coincident with 

resuming the review of the RBS3 COL 

application, whichever comes first. This 

schedule change has no relation to 

security issues. Therefore, the common 

defense and security is not impacted. 

Special Circumstances 

Special circumstances, in accordance 

with 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2), are present 

whenever ‘‘application 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’’ (10 CFR 

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

50.12(a)(2)(iii)) or; ‘‘the exemption 

would provide only temporary relief 

from the applicable regulation and the 

licensee or applicant has made good 

faith efforts to comply with the 

regulation’’ (10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(v)). The 

underlying purposes of 10 CFR part 52, 

Appendix E, Paragraphs X.A.1, X.A.2, 

and X.B.3.b are to maintain reports 

pertaining to the ESBWR and plantspecific DCDs associated with a COL 

application current and to provide 

timely, current, comprehensive reports 

and updates in order to support an 

effective and efficient review by NRC 

staff and issuance of the staff’s safety 

evaluation report. 

Because the requirement to maintain 

reports pertaining to the ESBWR and 

plant-specific DCDs associated with a 

COL application was intended for active 

reviews and the RBS3 COL application 

review is now suspended, the 

application of this regulation in this 

particular circumstance is unnecessary 

in order to achieve its underlying 

purpose. If the NRC were to grant this 

exemption EOI would then be required 

to comply by the earlier of a restart or 

the review or December 31, 2015, and 

the purpose of the rule would still be 

achieved. Additionally, because EOI 

requested the NRC to suspend its review 

of the GGNS COL application, the 

Departures Report and DCD Update, if 

provided, would not be reviewed by the 

NRC. Therefore, compelling EOI to 

provide Departures Report and DCD 

Update would result in an unnecessary 

burden and hardship for the applicant. 

In addition, the exemption is a 

temporary exemption from the 

requirements of 10 CFR part 52, 

Appendix E, Paragraphs X.A.1, X.A.2, 

and X.B.3.b. EOI has made good faith 

efforts to comply with the regulation. 

The exemption would allow EOI to 

suspend maintaining the Departures 

Report and the DCD Update Report and 

forego submitting these reports until 

December 31, 2015, or coincident with 

resuming the review of the GGNS COL 

application, whichever comes first. 

Therefore, the special circumstances 

required by 10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), (iii), 

and (v) for the granting of an exemption 

from 10 CFR part 50, Appendix E, 

Paragraphs X.A.1, X.A.2, and X.B.3.b 

exist. 

Eligibility for Categorical Exclusion 

From Environmental Review 

With respect to the exemption’s 

impact on the quality of the human 

environment, the NRC has determined 

that this specific exemption request is 

eligible for categorical exclusion as 

identified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25) and 

justified by the NRC staff as discussed 

below. 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i): The criteria for 

determining whether there is no 

significant hazards consideration are 

found in 10 CFR 50.92(c)(1)–(3) . The 

proposed action involves only a 

schedule change regarding the 

submission of an update to the 

application for which the licensing 

review has been suspended. There are 

no significant hazards considerations 

because granting the proposed 

exemption would not involve a 

significant increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated, create the possibility of a 

new or different kind of accident from 

any accident previously evaluated or 

involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(ii): The proposed 

action involves only a schedule change 

which is administrative in nature, and 

does not involve any changes to be 

made in the types or significant increase 

in the amounts of effluents that may be 

released offsite. 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iii): Since the 

proposed action involves only a 

schedule change which is 

administrative in nature, it does not 

contribute to any significant increase in 

occupational or public radiation 

exposure. 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iv): The proposed 

action involves only a schedule change 

which is administrative in nature; the 

COL application review is suspended 

until further notice, and there is no 

consideration of any construction at this 

time, and hence the proposed action 

does not involve any construction 

impact. 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(v): The proposed 

action involves only a schedule change 

which is administrative in nature, and 

does not impact the probability or 

consequences of radiological accidents. 

10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(B) and (G): 

The exemption request involves 

submitting an updated COL application 

by EOI and relates to the schedule for 

submitting a COL application update to 

the NRC. 

IV. Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(1) and (2), 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 as described in 10 

CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii), (iii), and (v) are 

present. Therefore, the Commission 

hereby grants EOI the exemption from 

the requirements of 10 CFR part 50, 

Appendix E, Paragraphs X.A.1, X.A.2, 

and X.B.3.b pertaining to the River Bend 

Station Unit 3 COL application to allow 

submittal of the Departures Report and 

the DCD Update Report the earlier of 

any request to the NRC to resume the 

review or by December 31, 2015. 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22, the 

Commission has determined that the 

exemption request meets the applicable 

categorical exclusion criteria set forth in 

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

this exemption will not have a 

significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
