consequences from radiological accidents;
and (vi) the requirements from which an
exemption is sought are among those
identified in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(vi),
including requirements of an administrative,
managerial, or organizational nature.
Therefore, in accordance with 10 CFR
51.22(b), no environmental impact statement
or environmental assessment need to be
prepared in connection with the issuance of
the exemption. The basis for this NRC staff
determination is discussed as follows with an
evaluation against each of the requirements
in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25).
Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(i)—
There is no significant hazards
consideration.
The criteria for determining whether an
action involves a significant hazards
consideration are found in 10 CFR 50.92(c).
The exemption only involves an ISI program
implementation change, which is
administrative in nature. The exemption does
not adversely affect plant equipment,
operation, or procedures. Therefore, there are
no significant hazard considerations, because
granting the exemption would not: (1)
involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of an accident
previously evaluated; or (2) create the
possibility of a new or different kind of
accident from any accident previously
evaluated; or (3) involve a significant
reduction in a margin of safety.
Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(ii)—
There is no significant change in the types or
significant increase in the amounts of any
effluents that may be released offsite.
The exemption involves only an ISI
program implementation change, which is
administrative in nature, and does not
involve any changes in the types or
significant increase in the amounts of any
effluents that may be released offsite.
Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iii)—
There is no significant increase in individual
or cumulative public or occupational
radiation exposure.
Since the exemption involves only an ISI
program implementation change, which is
administrative in nature, it does not
contribute to any significant increase in
occupational or public radiation exposure.
Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(iv)—
There is no significant construction impact.
Since the exemption involves only an ISI
program implementation change, which is
administrative in nature, it does not involve
any construction impact.
Requirements in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25)(v)—
There is no significant increase in the
potential for or consequences from
radiological accidents.
The exemption involves only an ISI
program implementation change, which is
administrative in nature and does not impact
the potential for or consequences from
accidents.
Requirements in 10 CFR
51.22(c)(25)(vi)(I)—The requirements from
which the exemption is sought involve
requirements that are of an administrative,
managerial, or organizational nature.
The exemption involves only an ISI
program implementation change regarding
examination scheduling requirements and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 268001
other requirements of an administrative,
managerial, or organizational nature, because
it is associated with the marginal extension
from a 10-year to 12-year ISI interval.
Based on the above, NRC staff determined
that the exemption meet the eligibility
criteria for the categorical exclusion set forth
in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(25). Therefore, in
accordance with 10 CFR 51.22(b), no
environmental impact statement or
environmental assessment need be prepared
in connection with these exemption requests.
IV. Conclusions
Accordingly, the Commission has
determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.12,
the exemption is authorized by law, will not
present an undue risk to the public health
and safety, and is consistent with the
common defense and security. Also, special
circumstances are present. Therefore, the
Commission hereby grants Duke Energy
Carolinas, LLC’s request for exemption from
certain requirements of 10 CFR
50.55a(a)(3)(ii) and 10 CFR 50.55a(y) to allow
the implementation of ASME Code Case N–
921 after the start date of the fifth ISI interval
at McGuire Unit 1.
This exemption is effective upon issuance.
Dated: December 23, 2025.

informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment
period on this information collection on
September 9, 2025, 90 FR 43481.
