Part-55 Exemption Request for Power Reactors By letter dated April 14, 2020, (ML20104C071), the NRC provided guidance to the industry for the expedited review of licensee requested exemptions from the operator requalification program requirements in 10 CFR 55.59(c)(1), 10 CFR 55.59(a)(1), and 10 CFR 55.59(a)(2),; and medical requirements in 10 CFR 55.21, 10 CFR 55.53(i), and 10 CFR 55.57(a)(6). Consistent with this regulation, and as detailed in the April 14, 2020, letter and its attachment, the NRC will expeditiously review requests from individual licensees for exemptions from the requirements specified in 10 CFR 55.59(c)
(1), 10 CFR 55.59(a)(1), 10 CFR 55.59(a)(2), 10 CFR 55.21, 10 CFR 55.53(i), or 10 CFR 55.57(a)(6). If the licensee determines that it cannot meet criteria for an expedited review or that it needs a different Part 55 exemption, then the licensee must seek separate NRC approval through the normal exemption process. This form is intended for use by power reactor licensees to request these exemptions.
