SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
I. Introduction
On August 25, 2021, the NRC granted
one exemption in response to a request
submitted by one licensee dated July 29,
2021, as supplemented by letter dated
August 12, 2021. The exemption
temporarily allows the licensee to
deviate from certain requirements of
chapter I of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), part 50,
appendix E, ‘‘Emergency Planning and
Preparedness for Production and
Utilization Facilities,’’ section IV.F,
‘‘Training.’’
The exemption grants Wolf Creek
Nuclear Operating Corporation (for Wolf
Creek Generating Station, Unit 1), a
schedular exemption from the offsite
biennial emergency preparedness (EP)
exercise requirement, allowing it to
postpone the calendar year 2021 full-
participation biennial EP exercise until
November 30, 2022, or when the
required exercise is conducted in
calendar year 2022, whichever occurs
first. The exemption affords this
licensee temporary relief from the
requirements of 10 CFR part 50,
appendix E, regarding offsite response
organization (ORO) participation in the
biennial EP exercise. The exemption
will not adversely affect the emergency
response capability of the facility
because the licensee has conducted
numerous drills, exercises, and other
training activities that have exercised
the licensee’s emergency response
strategies since the last evaluated
biennial EP exercise and that State,
county, and local OROs have
participated therein.
The table in this notice provides
transparency regarding the number and
type of exemptions the NRC has issued.
Additionally, the NRC publishes tables
of approved regulatory actions related to
the COVID–19 PHE on its public
website at https://www.nrc.gov/about-
nrc/covid-19/reactors/licensing-
actions.html.
II. Availability of Documents
The table in this notice provides the
facility name, docket number, document
description, and ADAMS accession
number for the exemption issued.
Additional details on the exemption
issued, including the exemption request
submitted by the licensee and the NRC’s
decision, are provided in the exemption
approval listed in the table in this
notice. For additional directions on

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The
Nasdaq Stock Market LLC; Notice of
Designation of a Longer Period for
Commission Action on a Proposed
Rule Change To Establish the
‘‘Extended Trading Close’’ and a New
‘‘Extended Trading Close’’ Order Type
September 9, 2021.
On July 12, 2021, The Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’), pursuant to Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (‘‘Act’’)

a proposed rule change to
add Equity 4, Rule 4755 and amend
Equity 4, Rules 4702 and 4703 to
establish the ‘‘Extended Trading Close,’’
as well as the ‘‘ETC Eligible LOC’’ and
‘‘Extended Trading Close’’ order types.
The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal
Register on July 28, 2021.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
4
provides
that, within 45 days of the publication
of notice of the filing of a proposed rule
change, or within such longer period up
to 90 days as the Commission may
designate if it finds such longer period
to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or as to which the
self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission shall either approve the
proposed rule change, disapprove the
proposed rule change, or institute
proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule change should be
disapproved. The 45th day after
publication of the notice for this
proposed rule change is September 11,

The Commission is extending the 45-

and the comment letter received.
Accordingly, the Commission,
pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act,

designates October 26, 2021, as the date
