SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    On July 31, 2023, NuScale Power, LLC, (NuScale) on behalf of Carbon 
Free Power Project (CFPP) LLC, filed an application for a limited work 
authorization (LWA) with the NRC pursuant to part 50 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ``Domestic Licensing of 
Production and Utilization Facilities,'' paragraph 50.10(d), ``Request 
for limited work authorization,'' along with a request for exemption 
from certain requirements in paragraph 50.10(c), ``Requirement for 
construction permit, early site permit authorizing limited work 
authorization activities, combined license, or limited work 
authorization.'' The applicant submitted its LWA request as part of a 
``phased'' combined license application pursuant to 10 CFR part 52, 
``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.'' 
CFPP plans to submit a combined license application to the NRC in 
January 2024 to construct and operate a 6-module NuScale small modular 
reactor plant at INL. The information submitted by the applicant 
includes a request for approval of certain early construction 
activities at the CFPP site.
    If the NRC staff finds the LWA application acceptable for 
docketing, the staff will begin a detailed technical review of the 
application. Subsequent Federal Register notices will address the 
acceptability of the tendered LWA application for docketing and 
opportunities for participation of the public during the course of the 
staff's review.
    A copy of the application is available for public inspection at 
https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/smr/licensing-activities/pre-application-activities/idaho-national-labs-preapp.html.
