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).
