'VANWAGNER, ROBERT V' Bowden Berry, Elva; Lipa, Christine Exemption Request Questions In a letter, dated November 30, 2010, Consumers Energy requested an exemption from the following regulations in 10 CFR 73.55:
10 CFR 73.55(e)(8)(C)(iii) All emergency exits in the protected area must be alarmed and secured by locking devices that allow prompt egress during an emergency and satisfy the requirements of this section for access control into the protected area.
10 CFR 73.55(e)(8)(C)(iv) Where building walls or roofs comprise a portion of the protected area perimeter barrier, an isolation zone is not necessary provided that the detection and, assessment requirements of this section are met, appropriate barriers are installed, and the area is described in the security plans.
We were unable to identify the regulations cited during the course of our review. However, the text of the following regulations in 10 CFR 73.55 are identical to those from which an exemption was requested:
10 CFR 73.55(e)(8)(iii) All emergency exits in the protected area must be alarmed and secured by locking devices that allow prompt egress during an emergency and satisfy the requirements of this section for access control into the protected area.
10 CFR 73.55(e)(8)(iv) Where building walls or roofs comprise a portion of the protected area perimeter barrier, an isolation zone is not necessary provided that the detection and, assessment requirements of this section are met, appropriate barriers are installed, and the area is described in the security plans.
Was a (C) inadvertently included in the regulatory citation of the exemption request letter?
Please respond at your earliest convenience in order to facilitate our review of your request.
