The proposed action is to exempt the licensee from regulatory requirements to develop certain training and submit an annual report.

The proposed exemptions would allow the licensee to deviate from the requirements in CoC No. 1015, Amendment 2, Appendix A, Technical Specifications for the NAC-UMS[supreg] System, Section A 5.1, Training Program, and Section A 5.5, Radioactive Effluent Control Program.
