Dear Commissioners and Staff:
In Reference 1, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a revised NRC Form 311, Quality Assurance (QA) Program Approval No. 71-0202, Revision 8 for Diablo Canyon and Humboldt Bay (HB). In accordance with 10 CFR 72.140(d),

Document Control Desk PG&E Letter DCL-21-056 Page 2 PG&E Letter DIL-21-006 PG&E Letter HBL-21-015 PG&E Letter HIL-21-003 Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) notified the NRC of its plan to adopt the previously approved Humboldt Bay Power Plant (HBPP), 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B QA Program for the HB Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) quality activities. HBPP decommissioning field activities are complete and PG&E plans to request termination of the HBPP 10 CFR Part 50 license and QA Program in 2021. As a result, PG&E submitted Revision 0 of an ISFSI-only HB QA Plan in Reference 2. The HB ISFSI QA Plan satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G and the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71, Subpart H for the procurement, maintenance, repair, and use of radioactive materials transport packages. In Reference 3, the NRC approved the HB ISFSI QA Plan.
Therefore, PG&E requests the following changes to the PG&E QA Program Approval for Radioactive Material Packages to reflect the transition from a HB, 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B QA Program to an ISFSI-only 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G QA Program concurrent with the termination of the HBPP 10 CFR Part 50 license.
- 1. NRC Form 311, QA Program Approval No. 71-0202, Revision 9
- a. Revise Block 5 Item 4 to remove the reference to HBPP and reissue the NRC Form 311 to Diablo Canyon Power Plant only. This reference will no longer be applicable after termination of the HBPP Part 50 license.
- b. Concurrent with the termination of the HBPP 10 CFR Part 50 License, terminate the HBPP 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B QA Program approval.
- 2. NRC Form 311, QA Program Approval No. 71-new, Revision 0
- a. Issue a new and separate NRC Form 311 QA Program Approval for Radioactive Material Packages for the HB ISFSI that references the NRC approved 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G HB ISFSI QA Program. includes a proposed markup of the revision to NRC Form 311, QA Program Approval No. 71-0202. Enclosure 2 provides a proposed NRC Form 311, QA Program Approval to reflect the stand-alone HB ISFSI QA Plan.
NRC issuance of the revised Reference 1 and the new NRC Form 311 for the HB ISFSI are requested to become effective upon termination of the HBPP 10 CFR Part 50 License.
PG&E makes no new or revised regulatory commitments (as defined by NEI 99-04) in this letter.
