SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
During the period from March 1, 2024, to March 31, 2024, the NRC
granted 11 exemptions in response to requests submitted by the
following licensees: Constellation Energy Generation, LLC; Dominion
Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.; Duke Energy; Energy Harbor Nuclear
Corp.; Energy Northwest; Entergy Operations Inc.; Florida Power and
Light; Nextera Energy Duane Arnold, LLC.; Susquehanna Nuclear, LLC; and
Vistra Operations Company LLC.
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).
