SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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).
