The NRC is requesting public
comments on the draft RIS. The NRC
issues RISs to communicate with
stakeholders on a broad range of
regulatory matters. This may include
communicating and restating staff
technical positions on regulatory
matters.
The NRC staff has developed draft RIS
2015–XX, ‘‘Seismic Stability Analysis
Methodologies for Spent Fuel Dry Cask
Loading Stack-up Configuration,’’ to
share information regarding acceptable
seismic stability analysis methodologies
to determine if a spent fuel dry cask
loading stack-up configuration needs to
be laterally supported. The draft RIS is
available electronically under ADAMS

could negatively impact either plant
safety or security.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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.
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.
There are no meetings scheduled for
the week of May 4, 2015.
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.
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/readingrm/doc-collections/reg-guides/
contactus.html. Suggestions will be
considered in future updates and
enhancements of the RG.

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.
