Exemption; Issuance; Exelon 

Generation Company, LLC 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Exemption; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing a 

scheduling exemption in response to a 

December 10, 2013 (Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML13345B157), request from Exelon 

Generation Company, LLC (EGC or the 

licensee) for a one-time exemption from 

the requirement to exercise its offsite 

emergency plan biennially with full 

participation by each authority having a 

role under the radiological response 

plan. The request was supplemented by 

letter dated June 13, 2014 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML14164A328). A series 

of deadly tornadoes struck Illinois 3 

days prior to the scheduled exercise at 

the Byron Station. Because of the major 

involvement of the State of Illinois 

resources in response to the tornadoes, 

the Illinois Emergency Management 

Agency (IEMA), with the agreement of 

the U.S. Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA), decided 

to postpone participation in the Byron 

Station exercise from 2013 to early 

2014, which is outside of the NRC’s 

biennial requirement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

following sections include the text of 

the exemption in its entirety as issued 

to EGC. 

I. Background 

The licensee is the holder of Facility 

Operating License Nos., NPF–37 and 

NPF–66, issued under Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

Part 50, and which authorize operation 

of the Byron Station, Units 1 and 2. The 

license provides, among other things, 

that the facility is subject to all rules, 

regulations, and Orders of the NRC now 

or hereafter in effect. The facility 

consists of two pressurized-water 

reactors located in Ogle County, Illinois. 

II. Request/Action 

Per 10 CFR 50.12, ‘‘specific 

exemptions,’’ the Commission may 

grant exemptions from the requirements 

of 10 CFR part 50 which: (1) Are 

authorized by law, (2) will not present 

an undue risk to the public health and 

safety, and (3) are consistent with the 

common defense and security. The 

Commission will not consider granting 

an exemption unless special 

circumstances as described in 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2) are present. Special 

circumstances are present whenever, 

among other things, 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; 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. 

Part 50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.c 

requires that ‘‘[o]ffsite plans for each 

site shall be exercised biennially with 

full participation by each offsite 

authority having a role under the 

radiological response plan.’’ Full 

participation when used in conjunction 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 14, 2015 / Notices 1973 

with emergency preparedness (EP) 

exercises for a particular site means 

appropriate offsite local and State 

authorities and licensee personnel 

physically and actively take part in 

testing their integrated capability to 

adequately assess and respond to an 

accident at a commercial nuclear power 

plant. Full participation includes testing 

major observable portions of the onsite 

and offsite emergency plans and 

mobilization of State, local, and licensee 

personnel and other resources in 

sufficient numbers to verify the 

capability to respond to the accident 

scenario. 

The Byron Station biennial exercise 

with full participation was scheduled 

for November 20, 2013. On November 

17, 2013, 3 days before the exercise, a 

series of tornadoes struck Illinois and 

caused significant widespread damage 

throughout the state resulting in a 

Presidential Disaster Declaration for 15 

Illinois counties. On November 18, 

2013, due to the magnitude of the State 

and local disaster response, and its 

impact on resources, IEMA verbally 

notified FEMA that they would request 

postponement of participation in the 

Byron Station Radiological Emergency 

Preparedness biennial exercise. 

The onsite portion and some aspects 

of the offsite portions of the exercise 

were conducted by the licensee and 

inspected by the NRC on November 20, 

2013. Since the State was not able to 

participate in the exercise, Ogle and 

Winnebago Counties did not perform 

their required interface functions. 

Therefore, the counties did not fully 

participate in the exercise. 

In a letter to FEMA dated December 

2, 2013 (Attachment 2; ADAMS 

Accession No. ML13345B157), IEMA 

requested that FEMA postpone the 

exercise until calendar year (CY) 2014, 

citing the magnitude of the State’s 

disaster response to the series of deadly 

tornadoes. By letter dated December 7, 

2013 (Attachment 3; ADAMS Accession 

No. ML13345B157), FEMA agreed to the 

IEMA request to postpone the offsite 

portions of the biennial exercise until 

CY 2014. 

The licensee requested on December 

10, 2013 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML13345B157), pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12, approval of a one-time exemption 

from 10 CFR part 50, Appendix E, 

Section IV.F.2.c. The requested 

exemption would allow the licensee to 

delay conduct of certain offsite portions 

of a biennial EP exercise from November 

23, 2013, to February 2014. 

The licensee stated in their request 

that the IEMA and the Ogle and 

Winnebago Counties have indicated that 

it was not feasible to reschedule the 

specific offsite functions that remain to 

be exercised prior to the end of CY 

2013. 

The postponed aspects at the offsite 

portions of the exercise were conducted 

by the licensee on February 6, 2014, and 

were evaluated by FEMA. 

III. Discussion 

A. Authorized by Law 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a), the 

Commission may grant exemptions 

which are, among other things, 

authorized by law. It may be inferred 

that an exemption is authorized by law 

if all of the conditions for granting the 

exemption are met (i.e., will not present 

an undue risk to the public health and 

safety, consistent with the common 

defense and security, special 

circumstances are present). These 

factors are discussed below in Sections 

B, C, and D. 

In addition, the NRC staff must 

determine whether the exemption 

would violate the Atomic Energy Act, 

National Environmental Policy Act, or 

other law. In this case, the exemption 

removes for purposes of the 2013 

exercise the requirement in 10 CFR part 

50, Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.c, to 

conduct the exercise biennially. The 

frequency is not specified by any law 

and the NRC staff has not identified any 

legal prohibition to the exemption. The 

change from annual to biennial exercise 

frequency was a result of rulemaking in 

1984 (Final Rule, Emergency Planning 

and Preparedness (49 FR 27733–35; July 

6, 1984)), when after considering: (1) 

Experience with 150 exercises; (2) the 

fact that State and local governments 

exercise their emergency response 

capabilities frequently by responding to 

a variety of actual emergencies on a 

continuing basis; (3) the flexibility 

provided in a biennial frequency; and 

(4) FEMA’s experiences showing the 

level of preparedness of State and local 

governments. Accordingly, the NRC 

staff has determined that granting of the 

licensee’s proposed scheduling 

exemption is authorized by law. 

B. No Undue Risk to Public Health and 

Safety 

Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12(a), the 

Commission may grant exemptions 

which, among other things, will not 

present an undue risk to public health 

and safety. In other words, granting the 

exemption does not make it more likely 

that an accident could adversely affect 

the health and safety of the public. In 

1984 (Final Rule, Emergency Planning 

and Preparedness (49 FR 27733–35; July 

6, 1984)), when the Commission 

changed the exercise frequency from 

annual to biennial, the Commission 

considered whether increasing the time 

between exercises would result in 

making personnel and equipment less 

effective or reliable and therefore reduce 

the level of safety. The Commission 

concluded that ‘‘Because emergency 

response personnel at the State and 

local government level continuously 

respond to actual emergencies, the 

Commission does not consider that 

relaxing the frequency of State and local 

government participation in emergency 

preparedness exercises would adversely 

affect the health and safety of the 

public.’’ Since the last biennial EP 

exercise on July 27, 2011, the licensee 

has conducted 47 onsite training drills/ 

exercises/demonstrations and 34 offsite 

training sessions that have involved 

interface with State and/or local 

authorities. These drills and training 

sessions did not exercise all of the 

proposed rescheduled offsite functions, 

but they do support the licensee’s 

assertion that it has a continuing level 

of engagement with the State and local 

authorities to maintain interfaces. The 

NRC staff considers the intent of this 

requirement is met by having conducted 

these series of drills and training 

sessions. Additionally, since the July 27, 

2011, Byron Station exercise, the IEMA 

has satisfactorily participated in three 

full participation FEMA evaluated 

exercises at other Illinois EGC plants in 

Illinois. By letter dated June 13, 2014, 

the licensee stated that the proposed 

exemption is not a reduction in 

effectiveness of the Byron Station 

emergency plan. 

Based on the above information 

showing the extent of the State and local 

authority participation in training and 

level of coordination with the licensee, 

the NRC Staff concludes that the onetime exemption to delay portions of the 

biennial EP exercise at the Byron 

Station poses no undue risk to public 

health and safety. 

C. Consistent With the Common Defense 

and Security 

The requested exemption would 

allow rescheduling of the specific offsite 

portions of the biennial EP exercise 

from the previously scheduled date of 

November 20, 2013, until February 

2014. Even with the exemption granted, 

the Byron Station will continue to be 

required to meet the substantial terms 

and conditions in the licenses. The 

exemption merely allows for a delay of 

some portions of an emergency response 

exercise, with no direct impact on 

regulations and requirements associated 

with common defense and security. 

Therefore, the granting of the exemption 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

1974 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 14, 2015 / Notices 

is consistent with the common defense 

and security. 

D. Special Circumstances 

The Commission will not consider 

granting an exemption unless special 

circumstances are present. Special 

circumstances, per 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(ii), are present when 

‘‘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.’’ Section 

IV.F.2.c of 10 CFR part 50, Appendix E, 

requires licensees to exercise offsite 

plans biennially with full or partial 

participation by each offsite authority 

having a role under the plan. The 

underlying purpose of 10 CFR 50, 

Appendix E, Section IV.F.2.c, requiring 

licensees to exercise offsite plans with 

offsite authority participation, is to test 

and maintain interfaces among affected 

State and local authorities, and the 

licensee. The circumstances at Byron 

Station show that maintaining the 

requirement to perform the biennial test 

during 2013 is not necessary to achieve 

the underlying purpose of the rule 

because, as described below, the offsite 

responders’ capabilities and interface 

with the licensee have been tested. 

Although no NRC findings were 

identified at the previous biennial EP 

exercise conducted on July 27, 2011, 

FEMA did identify two Areas Requiring 

Corrective Actions (ARCAs). The State 

of Illinois received an ARCA under 

Evaluation Area 2, ‘‘Radiological 

Assessment and Protective Action 

Recommendations and Decisions for the 

Plume Phase of the Emergency’’ from 

FEMA. This ARCA was demonstrated 

successfully and closed by FEMA for 

the State of Illinois during the Clinton 

Power Station exercise on November 2, 

2011. In addition, Ogle County received 

an ARCA under Evaluation Area 3, 

‘‘Implementation of Protective Actions 

for Special Populations, School 

Evacuation.’’ Training was conducted 

with the Ogle County Regional Office of 

Education, EGC, and the State of Illinois 

to resolve this issue. This ARCA was 

expected to be resolved during the 

November 20, 2013. As previously 

discussed, the licensee has conducted 

47 onsite training drills/exercises/

demonstrations and 34 offsite training 

sessions that have involved interface 

with State and/or local authorities in 

2011 through 2013. The NRC staff 

considers that these measures are 

adequate to test and maintain interfaces 

with affected State and local authorities 

during this period, satisfying the 

underlying purpose of the rule. Thus, 

the special circumstances required by 

10 CFR 50.12(a)(2)(ii) are present in that 

application of the biennial test 

requirement during 2013 is not 

necessary to achieve the purpose of the 

rule. 

There is an additional special 

circumstance present under 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(v). Specifically, 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, but the scheduled 

exercise was interrupted by tornadoes. 

The requested exemption to conduct the 

specific offsite portions of the biennial 

EP exercise in early 2014, instead of 

2013, would grant only temporary relief 

from the applicable regulation until the 

end of February 2014. The 47 onsite 

training drills/exercises/demonstrations 

involving interface with State and local 

authorities conducted in 2011, 2012, 

and 2013, demonstrate the licensee’s 

good faith efforts to comply with the 

regulation. In addition, the licensee’s 

inability to meet the Appendix E 

requirement was due to circumstances 

beyond its control (i.e., the impact of 

widespread tornado disaster response 

on State resources and the State’s need 

to postpone its participation until CY 

2014). The licensee scheduled the 

exercise and arranged for the necessary 

participants before the storms hit. 

Therefore, the licensee has made a good 

faith effort to comply with the 

regulation. Thus, the special 

circumstances required by 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(v) are also present. 

Based on the above, the special 

circumstances required by 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(2)(ii) and (v), exist to grant the 

requested exemption. 

IV. Environmental Considerations 

The Commission has found that 

issuing an exemption to the 

requirements of a regulation does not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment provided that 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25) is met in that: (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 involve, among other things, 

scheduling requirements. 

An exemption involves no significant 

hazards consideration under 10 CFR 

50.92(c) if operation of the facility in 

accordance with the proposed 

exemption would 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. 

The proposed exemption to postpone 

the Byron Station EP exercise from 

November 23, 2013, to February 2014, 

does not increase the probability of an 

accident because EP exercises are not 

initiators of any design-basis event. 

Additionally, the proposed exemption 

does not involve any physical changes 

to plant systems, structures, or 

components (SSCs), or the manner in 

which these SSCs are maintained or 

controlled. Therefore, the proposed 

exemption does not involve a significant 

increase in the probability or 

consequences of an accident previously 

evaluated. The proposed exemption 

does not alter the physical design, safety 

limits, or safety analysis assumptions 

associated with the operation of Byron 

Station. Accordingly, the proposed 

exemption does not introduce any new 

accident initiators, nor does it reduce or 

adversely affect the capabilities of any 

plant structure or system in the 

performance of their safety function. 

Therefore, the proposed exemption does 

not create the possibility of a new or 

different kind of accident from any 

previously evaluated. The proposed 

exemption does not impact the 

assumptions of any design basis 

accident, and does not alter 

assumptions relative to the mitigation of 

an accident or transient event. 

Therefore, the proposed exemption does 

not involve a significant reduction in a 

margin of safety. Accordingly, the NRC 

staff has determined that the three 

standards of 10 CFR 50.92(c) are 

satisfied, and the exemption request 

involves no significant hazards 

consideration, and 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25)(i) is satisfied. 

In reviewing the other factors in 10 

CFR 51.22(c)(25), the NRC staff 

determined that the proposed 

exemption changes the EP exercise from 

November 23, 2013, to February 2014, 

involves no significant change in the 

types or significant increase in the 

amounts of any effluents that may be 

released offsite; increase in individual 

or cumulative occupational radiation 

exposure; construction impact; and 

increase in the potential for or 

consequences from radiological 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 14, 2015 / Notices 1975 

accidents. Therefore, 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25)(ii)–(v) are satisfied. 

The NRC staff has further determined 

that the requirements from which the 

exemption is sought involve the factors 

associated with 10 CFR 

51.22(c)(25)(vi)(G) scheduling 

requirements. Specifically, the proposed 

exemption changes the EP exercise from 

November 23, 2013, to February 2014. 

Therefore, the criteria specified in 10 

CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi)(G) is satisfied. 

Accordingly, the exemption meets the 

eligibility criteria for exclusion set forth 

in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). Pursuant to 10 

CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact 

statement or environmental assessment 

is required to be prepared with the 

issuance of the exemption. 

V. Conclusion 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12, 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, the special 

circumstances required by 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(ii) and (v), are present. 

Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12(a)(ii) and (v), the Commission 

hereby grants EGC a one-time 

exemption from the requirements of 10 

CFR part 50, Appendix E, Section 

IV.F.2.c., to conduct the specific offsite 

portion of the Byron Station biennial EP 

exercise required for 2013. The one-time 

exemption permits the specific offsite 

portion of the exercise to be conducted 

in coordination with FEMA, NRC 

Region III, and Byron Station as 

scheduled in February 2014. As noted 

above, the postponed aspects at the 

offsite portions of the exercise were 

conducted by the licensee on February 

6, 2014.
