Dear Mr. Vitale:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has granted the enclosed partial exemption from the recordkeeping requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)

Sections 50.71(c) and 50.59(d)(3) and Criterion XVII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, as requested in your letter dated October 22, 2019. The partial exemption granted will eliminate the requirements to maintain records for certain systems, structures, and components associated with the Indian Point Nuclear Generating (Indian Point) Unit Nos. 2 and 3 that are no longer necessary when the respective units are permanently shut down and certification of permanent fuel removal is submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1).

This partial exemption is effective for Indian Point Unit No. 2 as of the date of its issuance; however, the actions permitted by the exemption for Indian Point Unit No. 3 may not be implemented until the docketing of the licensees certification of permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the Indian Point Unit No. 3 reactor vessel in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1).

A copy of the partial exemption is enclosed. The partial exemption has been forwarded to the Office of the Federal Register for publication.

Sincerely,
