SUBJECT:

HADDM NECK PLANT - ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT - TEMPORARY EXEMPTION FR0ft THE SCHEDULAR REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROPERTY INSURANCE RULE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 4, 1988 (10CFR50.54(w)(5)(1))

On August 5, 1987, the NRC published in the Federal Register a fin 61 rule amending 10 CFR 50.54(w). The rule increased the amount of on-site property damage insurance required to be carried by NRC's power reactor licensees. The rule also required these licensees so obtain by October 4,1988 insurance j

policies that prioritized insurance proceeds for stabilization and decontamina-tion after an accident and provided for payaent of proceeds to an independent trustee who would disburse funds for decontamination and cleanup before any other purpose.

Subsequent to publication of the rule, the NRC has been informed by insurers who offer nuclear )roperty insurance that, despite a good faith effort to obtain trustees required >y the rule, the decontamination priority and trusteeship provisions will not be able to be incorsorated into policies by the time required in the rule.

In response to t1ese comunents end related petitions for rulemaking, the Corsnission has proposed a revision of 10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(i) extending the implenwntation schedule for 18 months (53 FR 36338, September 19 1988). However, because it is unlikely that this rulemaking action will be completed by October 4,1988, the Cossnission is issuing a temporary exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(1) untti completion of the pendin rulemaking extending the implementatiun date specified in 10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(g),

1 but not later than April 1, 1989. Upon completion of such rulemaking, the licensee shall comply with the provisions of such rule.

Enclosed is an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Si relating to a temporary exemption from 10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(1)gnificant Impact for the Haddam Neck Plant.
