The request would have the effect of extending the applicability of the existing exemption from declared plant emergencies, 10 CFR 26.207(d).
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed your submittal and finds that the additional information contained in the enclosed Request for Additional Information is needed before we can complete the review.
