SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction

    The NRC is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the NRC's 
``Regulatory Guide'' series. Regulatory guides were developed to 
describe and make available to the public information and methods that 
are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the 
agency's regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating 
specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff 
needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The NRC 
typically seeks public comment on a draft version of a RG by announcing 
its availability for comment in the Federal Register. However, as 
explained on page 7 of NRC's Management Directive 6.6 ``Regulatory 
Guides,'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML110330475) the NRC may directly issue 
a final RG without a draft version or public comment-period if the 
changes to the RG are non-substantive.
    The NRC is issuing Revision 1 of RG 5.74 directly as a final RG 
because the changes between Revision 0 and Revision 1 are non-
substantive. Revision 1 of RG 5.74 incorporated editorial changes and 
updated the guide to the current format for RGs and is administrative 
in nature. These changes were intended to improve clarity and did not 
substantially alter the staff's regulatory guidance. These changes 
included additional questions to assist the user in the screening of 
planned and emergent activities or changes, and clarification to the 
requirement that the safety-security interface must be maintained at 
all times.

II. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    Issuance of this final RG does not constitute backfitting as 
defined in section 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR), (the Backfit Rule), and is not otherwise 
inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The 
changes in Revision 1 of RG 5.74 are limited to editorial changes to 
improve clarity and the correction of a title. These changes do not 
fall within the kinds of agency actions that constitute backfitting or 
are subject to limitations in the issue finality provisions of part 52. 
Accordingly, the NRC did not address the Backfit Rule or issue finality 
provisions of part 52.

III. Congressional Review Act

    This RG is a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 
U.S.C. 801-808). However, the Office of Management and Budget has not 
found it to be a major rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act.

IV. Submitting Suggestions for Improvement of Regulatory Guides

    Revision 1 of RG 5.74 is being issued without public comment. 
However, you may at any time submit suggestions to the NRC for 
improvement of existing RGs or for the development of new RGs to 
address new issues. Suggestions can be submitted by the form available 
online at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/reg-guides/contactus.html. Suggestions will be considered in future updates and 
enhancements of the RG.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of April, 2015.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Harriet Karagiannis,
Acting Chief, Regulatory Guidance and Generic Issues Branch, Division 
of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
