Subject:

Reference Correction - Request for Exemption from Certain Requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 and 10 CFR 72.214 for the Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation On January 21, 2019 (Reference 1), Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (Maine Yankee) submitted a request for an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(3), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(i), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(l 1), and 10 CFR 72.214 for the Maine Yankee Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). The exemption would permit Maine Yankee to adopt Amendment No. 6 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1015 for the NAC-UMS System (Reference 2) by registering Maine .Yankee's sixty NAC-UMS canisters storing nuclear fuel to this new amendment.

Subsequently, during its review of the request, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) identified that the exemption request contained incorrect references to an NRC letter dated December 13, 2004 (Reference 3) in the discussions of the history of the exemptions from Sections A 5.1 and A 5.5 of Appendix A of the NAC-UMS Certificate of Compliance. This letter referred to the federal register notice regarding the environmental assessment for a previous exemption. The exemption request should have referenced an NRC letter dated January 4, 2005, that issued the exemption (Reference 4). Thus, Maine Yankee is correcting those references via this submittal.

This letter contains no commitments. If you have any questions regarding this submittal, please contact me at (207) 882-1303.
