SUBJECT:

HILLSTONE NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1, 2 AND 3- ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT - TEMPORARY EXEMPTION FROM THE SCHEDULAR REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROPERTY INSURANCE RULE EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 4, 1988 (10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(1)) ,

. On August 5, 1987, the NRC published in the Federal Register a final 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 i rule also required these licensees to obtain by October 4, 1988 insurance policies that prioritized insurance proceeds for stabilization and decontamina-4 tion after an accident and provided for payment of proceeds to an independent i trustee who would disburse funds for decontamination and cleanup before any  :

other purpose.

i Subsequent to publication of the rule, the NRC has been informed by insurers j who offer nuclear )roperty insurance that, despite a good faith effort to obtain 1 trustees required )y the rule, the decontamination priority and trusteeship '

I provisions will not be able to be incoraorated into policies by the tire required in the rule. In response to t1ese concents and related petitions for ruleinaking, the Comission has proposed a revision of 10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(1)

J extending the implementation schedule for 18 months (53 FR 36338, September 19 j 1988). However, because it is unlikely that this rulemaking action will be completed by October 4,1988, the Commission is issuing a temporary exemption from the requirements rulemaking extending the implerentation of 10 CFR 50.54(w)(5)(i) date specified inuntil 10 CFR completion of the pending) 50.54(w)(5)(1 but not later than April 1, 1989. Upon completion of such rulemaking, the 4

licensee shall ccrply with the provisions of such rule, i 2
