SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    During the period from May 1, 2024, to May 31, 2024, the NRC 
granted two exemptions in response to requests submitted by the 
following licensees: Dairyland Power Cooperative; and Portland General 
Electric Company.
    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 their 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).
