Vogtle Electric Generating Station, Units 3 and 4; Southern Nuclear Operating Company; Reclassification of Tier 2* Information on Fire Area Figures

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is granting an exemption from certain Tier 2* information in the generic design control document (DCD) and is issuing License Amendment No. 44 to Combined Licenses (COLs) NPF-91 and NPF-92. The COLs were issued to Southern Nuclear Operating Company, Inc. (SNC); Georgia Power Company; Oglethorpe Power Corporation; MEAG Power SPVM, LLC; MEAG Power SPVJ, LLC; MEAG Power SPVP, LLC; and the City of Dalton, Georgia (together ``the licensee'') for construction and operation of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant (VEGP) Units 3 and 4, located in Burke County, Georgia. The granting of the exemption allows the changes to Tier 2* information requested in the amendment. Because the acceptability of the exemption was determined in part by the acceptability of the amendment, the exemption and amendment are being issued concurrently.
