SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from February 1, 2024, to February 29, 2024, the NRC granted 13 exemptions in response to requests submitted by the following licensees: Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.; DTE Electric Company; Duke Energy Progress, LLC/Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Entergy Operations, Inc.; Florida Power & Light Company; Nebraska Public Power District; Union Electric Company, doing business as Ameren Missouri; Virginia Electric and Power Company; and Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation.
These exemptions temporarily allow the licensee to deviate from certain requirements of part 73 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), "Physical Protection of Plants and Materials," subpart T, "Security Notifications, Reports, and Recordkeeping." In support of its exemption requests, the licensees agreed to effect site-specific administrative controls that maintain the approach to complying with 10 CFR part 73 in effect prior to the NRC's issuance of a final rule, "Enhanced Weapons, Firearms Background Checks, and Security Event Notifications," which was published in the Federal Register on March 14, 2023, and became effective on April 13, 2023 (88 FR 15864).
