RESPONSE TO NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE COMMENTS ON USE OF THE COMPLIANCE BACKFIT EXCEPTION
Dear Mr. Pietrangelo,
This letter is in response to your January 20, 2016, letter, Nuclear Energy Institute Comments in Support of Exelon Generation Company Backfit Appeal (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) ML16027A352). Your letter, which was submitted in support of a December 8, 2015, appeal of a compliance backfit by Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC), Appeal of Imposition of Backfit Regarding Compliance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 50.34(b), GDC 15, GDC 21, GDC 29, and Licensing Basis (ADAMS ML15342A112), raised a generic Nuclear Energy Institute concern about the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) use of the compliance exception to the backfit rule.
The NRCs response to EGCs appeal is documented in a separate letter addressed to EGC (ADAMS ML16095A204), and is enclosed in this letter. It is my position that the NRC evaluation of the backfit appeal, included with the letter to EGC, considers the points raised in your January 20, 2016, letter with respect to implementation of the compliance backfit exception.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, please contact Alex Garmoe at (301) 415-3814, or via e-mail at alex.garmoe@nrc.gov.
Sincerely,
/RA/
William M. Dean, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
