This exemption is related to, and necessary for the granting of the license amendment, which is being issued concurrently with this exemption.

B. Whitley A copy of the related Safety Evaluation, which includes the staffs evaluation of the amendment and exemption, is also enclosed. The notice of issuance of the amendment and the exemption documents included in this letter will be published in the Federal Register.

Sincerely,
