E NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHING TON, D. C. 20066 September 26. 1988 I

Docket No. 50-285 l

Mr. Kenneth J. Morris Division Panager - Nuclear Production Omaha Public Power District 1623 Parney Street Omaha, Nebraska 6810?

SUBJECT:

FORT CALHOUN STATION, UhlT 1 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDlhG OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT - TEPPORARY EXEMPTION FROM THE SCHEDULAR REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROPEPH INSURANCE RULE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 4. 1988 (10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(i))

On August 5, 1987, the NRC published in the Federal Register a final rule anending 10 CFR 50.54(w). The rule increased the amount of cn-site property damage insurance regt. ired to be carried by NRC's power reactor licensees. The rule also required these licensees to obtain by October 4. 1988 insurance policies that prioritited insurance proceeds for stabilization and decontariina-tion after an accident and provided for paywent of proceeds to an independent trustee who would disburse funds for decontamination and cleanup before any j other purpose.

l Subsequent to publication of the rule the NRC has been infonned by insurers who offer nuclear property insurance that, despite a good faith effort to obtain trustees required by the rule, the decontamination priority and trusteeship provisions will not be able to be incorporated into policies by the time required in the rule. In response to these comments and related petitions for rulemaking, the Comission has proposed a revision of 10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(1)  ;

extending the implementation schedule for 18 months (53 FR 36338. September 19 l 1988). However, because it is unlikely that this rulemaking action will be i completed by October 4,1988, the Comission is issuing a temporary exemption fromtherequirementsof10CFR50.54(w)(5)(1)untilcompletionofthepending).

rulemakingextendingtheimplementationdatespecifiedin10CFR50.54(w)(5)(1 l but not later than April 1, 1989. Upon completion of such rulemaking, the '

licensee shall comply with the provisions of such rule.  ;
