{"abstract":"The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is both granting an exemption to allow a departure from the certification information of Tier 1 of the generic design control document (DCD) and issuing License Amendment No. 12 to Combined Licenses (COL), NPF-91 and NPF-92. The COLs were issued to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc., and Georgia Power Company, Oglethorpe Power Corporation, Municipal Electric Authority of Georgia, and the City of Dalton, Georgia (the licensee), for construction and operation of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP), Units 3 and 4, located in Burke County, Georgia. The amendment requests changes that modify the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVS), including changes to information located in Tier 1 Tables 2.3.2- 1 and 2.3.2-2, and Tier 1 Figures 2.2.1-1 and 2.3.2-1. The granting of the exemption allows the changes to Tier 1 information as specified in the license amendment request. Because the acceptability of the exemption was determined in part by the acceptability of the amendment, the exemption and amendment are being issued concurrently.","action":"Exemption and combined license amendment; issuance.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION","name":"Nuclear Regulatory Commission","id":383,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/nuclear-regulatory-commission","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/383","parent_id":null,"slug":"nuclear-regulatory-commission"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/08/19/2013-20144.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"78 FR 50455","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":null,"disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket Nos. 52-025, and 52-026","NRC-2008-0252"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-20144","effective_on":null,"end_page":50457,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2013/08/19/2013-20144.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/08/19/2013-20144/vogtle-electric-generating-station-units-3-and-4-southern-nuclear-operating-company-changes-to-the","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-20144?publication_date=2013-08-19","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2013-08-19/2013-20144/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":3,"page_views":{"count":66,"last_updated":"2026-09-22 10:15:08 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-08-19/pdf/2013-20144.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-20144.pdf?1376657519","publication_date":"2013-08-19","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2013/08/19/2013-20144.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[{"title":"Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for Combined Licenses (COLs) for Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Units 3 and 4 (NUREG-1947)","document_id":"NRC-2008-0252-0011"}],"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=NRC-2008-0252","supporting_documents_count":1,"docket_id":"NRC-2008-0252","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Receipt and Availability of Application for a Combined License; Southern Nuclear Operating Company \r\n","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2013-09-08T06:00:19Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":50455,"subtype":null,"title":"Vogtle Electric Generating Station, Units 3 and 4; Southern Nuclear Operating Company; Changes to the Chemical Volume Control System","toc_doc":"Vogtle Electric Generating Station, Units 3 and 4; Southern Nuclear Operating Co.; Changes to Chemical Volume Control System","toc_subject":"License Amendments:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":78}
