Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 187 / Thursday, September 28, 2017 / Notices 45323 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The NRC is considering issuance of an 

exemption from certain requirements 

from section III.G.2 of appendix R to 

part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Fire Protection 

Program for Nuclear Power Facilities 

Operating Prior to January 1, 1979,’’ for 

Renewed Facility Operating License No. 

DPR–65 issued to the licensee for 

operation of Millstone 2, located in New 

London County, Connecticut. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 51.21, the 

NRC has prepared an EA that analyzes 

the environmental effects of the 

proposed regulatory exemption. Based 

on the results of the EA, and in 

accordance with 10 CFR 51.32, the NRC 

has prepared a FONSI for the proposed 

action. 

II. Environmental Assessment 

Description of the Proposed Action 

In its application dated October 28, 

2016, the licensee requested an 

exemption from certain requirements 

pertaining to NRC fire regulations 

contained in appendix R to 10 CFR part 

50. The proposed action would exempt 

Millstone 2 from these requirements and 

allow the licensee to use alternate 

methods than those specified in 

appendix R to 10 CFR part 50 to achieve 

and maintain hot shutdown conditions 

for affected initiating fire areas with 

consideration of a loss of instrument air. 

Specifically, the proposed action would 

allow the licensee to use operator 

manual actions (OMAs) related to loss 

of instrument air at Millstone 2 in lieu 

of the requirements contained in section 

III.G.2 of appendix R to 10 CFR part 50. 

Need for the Proposed Action 

A regulatory exemption to section 

III.G.2 of appendix R to 10 CFR part 50 

is needed to allow Millstone 2 to use 

alternate methods than those specified 

in appendix R to 10 CFR part 50 to 

achieve and maintain hot shutdown 

conditions for affected initiating fire 

areas with consideration of a loss of 

instrument air. 

Regulatory Issue Summary 2006–10, 

‘‘Regulatory Expectations with 

Appendix R, Section III.G.2, Operator 

Manual Actions,’’ documents the NRC 

position on the use of OMAs as part of 

a compliance strategy to meet the 

requirements of section III.G.2 of 

appendix R. The NRC requires plants 

which credit manual actions for 

regulatory compliance with section 

III.G.2 of appendix R to obtain NRC 

approval for those actions in accordance 

with the requirements of 10 CFR part 

50.12, ‘‘Specific Exemptions.’’ 

The licensee originally submitted an 

exemption request for OMAs contained 

in the Millstone 2 Appendix R 

Compliance Report in its letter dated 

June 30, 2011. The licensee 

subsequently removed four OMAs from 

that exemption request related to 

specific fire areas by letter dated 

February 29, 2012, because loss of 

instrument air was not a postulated 

event. The NRC approved the requested 

exemption, as revised, by letter dated 

December 18, 2012. 

During the 2016 triennial fire 

inspection at Millstone 2, it was 

identified that a loss of offsite power 

will result in a loss of instrument air 

prior to the emergency diesel generators 

starting and that instrument air does not 

automatically restart and cannot be 

manually started from the control room. 

The intent of 10 CFR part 50, appendix 

R, section III.G.2, is to ensure one train 

of systems necessary to achieve and 

maintain hot shutdown will remain 

available in the event of a fire. At 

Millstone 2, instrument air is a single 

train system and, therefore, does not 

meet appendix R, section III.G.2 

requirements because there is no 

redundant train. A loss of instrument air 

will result in both atmospheric dump 

valves (ADVs) failing closed. Instrument 

air is necessary to operate the ADVs and 

support decay heat removal. The four 

OMAs (OMAs 1, 9, 10, and 11) subject 

to this exemption request provide 

assurance for the use of alternate 

methods than those specified in 

appendix R to 10 CFR part 50 to achieve 

and maintain hot shutdown conditions 

for affected initiating fire areas with 

consideration of a loss of instrument air. 

As a result, the licensee is submitting 

this exemption request for those OMAs 

(OMAs 1, 9, 10, and 11) related to a loss 

of instrument air for certain affected 

initiating fire areas (R–9, R–10, R–13, 

and R–14). 

Environmental Impacts of the Proposed 

Action 

The NRC has completed its evaluation 

of the proposed action. The proposed 

action consists of the NRC granting 

Millstone 2 a regulatory exemption for 

the use of alternate methods than those 

specified in appendix R to 10 CFR part 

50 to achieve and maintain hot 

shutdown conditions for affected 

initiating fire areas with consideration 

of a loss of instrument air. Specifically, 

the regulatory exemption is necessary to 

allow the use of OMAs related to loss of 

instrument air in lieu of the 

requirements contained in section 

III.G.2 of appendix R to 10 CFR part 50. 

The proposed changes would have no 

direct impacts on land use or water 

resources, including terrestrial and 

aquatic biota as the proposed action 

involves no new construction or 

modification of plant operational 

systems. There would be no changes to 

the quality or quantity of nonradiological effluents. No changes to the 

plant’s National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System permit are needed. 

No changes in ambient air quality 

would be expected. In addition, there 

would be no noticeable effect on 

socioeconomic conditions in the region, 

no environment justice impacts, and no 

impacts to historic and cultural 

resources. Therefore, there would be no 

significant non-radiological impacts 

associated with the proposed action. 

The NRC has concluded that the 

proposed action would not significantly 

affect plant safety and would not have 

a significant adverse effect on the 

probability of an accident occurring. 

There would be no change to 

radioactive effluents that affect radiation 

exposures to plant workers and 

members of the public. No changes 

would be made to plant buildings or the 

site property. Therefore, the proposed 

action would not result in a change to 

the radiation exposures to the public or 

radiation exposure to plant workers. 

Accordingly, the NRC concludes that 

there are no significant environmental 

impacts associated with the proposed 

action. 

Environmental Impacts of the 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

As an alternative to the proposed 

action, the NRC considered denial of the 

proposed action (i.e., the ‘‘no-action’’ 

alternative). Denial of the regulatory 

exemptions would result in no change 

in current environmental impacts. 

Therefore, the environmental impacts of 

the proposed action and the denial of 

the exemption request would be similar. 

Alternative Use of Resources 

There are no unresolved conflicts 

concerning alternative uses of available 

resources under the proposed action. 

Agencies and Persons Consulted 

In accordance with its stated policy, 

on July 31, 2017, the NRC staff 

consulted with the Connecticut State 

official, Mr. Jeffrey Semancik of the 

Department of Energy and 

Environmental Protection, regarding the 

environmental impact of the proposed 

action. The state official had no 

comments. 

III. Finding of No Significant Impact 

The licensee has requested an 

exemption from specific regulatory 

requirements to allow the use of OMAs 

45324 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 187 / Thursday, September 28, 2017 / Notices 

as alternate methods than those 

specified in section III.G.2 of appendix 

R of 10 CFR part 50 to achieve and 

maintain hot shutdown conditions for 

affected initiating fire areas with 

consideration of a loss of instrument air. 

The NRC is considering issuing the 

requested exemption. The proposed 

action would not significantly affect 

plant safety, would not have a 

significant adverse effect on the 

probability of an accident occurring, 

and would not have any significant 

radiological and non-radiological 

impacts. This FONSI incorporates by 

reference the EA in Section II of this 

notice. Therefore, the NRC concludes 

that the proposed action will not have 

a significant effect on the quality of the 

human environment. Accordingly, the 

NRC has determined not to prepare an 

environmental impact statement for the 

proposed action. 

The related environmental document 

is the ‘‘Generic Environmental Impact 

Statement for License Renewal of 

Nuclear Plants: Regarding Millstone 

Power Station, Units 2 and 3—Final 

Report,’’ NUREG–1437, Supplement 22. 

NUREG–1437, Supplement 22 provides 

the latest environmental review of 

current operations and description of 

environmental conditions at Millstone 

2. 

The finding and other related 

environmental documents may be 

examined, and/or copied for a fee, at the 

NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR), 

located at One White Flint North, 11555 

Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland

oshrc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) 

and (11), requires OSHRC to publish in 

the Federal Register notice of any new 

routine use of an OSHRC system of 

records, and to provide an opportunity 

for interested persons to submit written 

data, views, or arguments to the agency. 

On January 3, 2017, the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) issued 

Preparing for and Responding to a 

Breach of Personally Identifiable 

Information, OMB Memorandum 17–12, 

to the heads of all executive 

departments and agencies. Among other 

things, this memorandum requires the 

addition of a routine use to ensure that 

agencies, such as OSHRC, are able to 

disclose records in their systems of 

records that may reasonably be needed 

by another agency in responding to a 

breach. OSHRC is therefore proposing 

the addition of a new blanket routine 

use that conforms to the language 

required by OMB.
