SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from December 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, the
NRC granted three exemptions in response to requests submitted by the
licensee, Constellation Energy Generation, LLC (Constellation), from
October 13, 2023, to December 7, 2023. Constellation's requested
exemptions pertaining to its Byron Station, Units 1 and 2; R.E. Ginna
Nuclear Power Plant; and Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2. 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, Constellation 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).
II. Availability of Documents
