Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’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 draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, ‘‘Quality Assurance Program E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1 33478 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 132 / Monday, July 13, 2009 / Notices mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Requirements (Design and Construction),’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1215, which should be mentioned in all related correspondence. DG–1215 is proposed Revision 4 of Regulatory Guide 1.28. DG–1215 describes methods that the NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the provisions of Appendix B, ‘‘Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,’’ to Title 10, part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 50) for establishing and implementing a quality assurance (QA) program for the design and construction of nuclear power plants, fuel fabrication plants and fuel reprocessing plants. The methods described in this revision are similar to the methods described in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.28, ‘‘Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Design and Construction),’’ Revision 3, which is the previously published version of this regulatory guide. RG 1.33, ‘‘Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)’’ addresses additional guidance for the establishment and execution of QA programs for nuclear power plants during the operations phase, which is unaffected by the revision to RG 1.28. DG–1215 endorses methods defined in American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA–1, ‘‘Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications.’’ The NRC is aware that the ASME standards committee has proposed minor changes to NQA–1 in a draft of ASME NQA–1a– 2009, Addenda to ASME NQA–1–2008. If these addenda are issued in a timely manner, they will be considered for endorsement in RG 1.28, revision 4. II. Further Information The NRC staff is soliciting comments on DG–1215. Comments may be accompanied by relevant information or supporting data and should mention DG–1215 in the subject line. Comments submitted in writing or in electronic form will be made available to the public in their entirety through the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS). Personal information will not be removed from your comments. You may submit comments by any of the following methods: 1.

Comments would be most helpful if received by September 8, 2009. Comments received after that date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. Although a time limit is given, comments and suggestions in connection with items for inclusion in guides currently being developed or improvements in all published guides are encouraged at any time. Electronic copies of DG–1215 are available through the NRC’s public Web site under Draft Regulatory Guides in the ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ collection of the NRC’s Electronic Reading Room at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. Electronic copies are also available in ADAMS (https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html), under Accession No. ML090150402.

ACTION: Notice of withdrawal. SUMMARY: The NRC is withdrawing its proposed License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance (LR–ISG) LR–ISG–2008–01, ‘‘Staff Guidance Regarding the Station Blackout Rule (10 CFR 50.63) Associated with License Renewal Applications.’’ The NRC staff issued the proposed guidance to clarify the acceptance criteria for the scoping of systems, structures, and components in accordance with section 54.4(a)(3) of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 54.4(a)(3)). However, after evaluating comments received on the proposed guidance, the NRC staff has determined that the current acceptance criteria, as provided in section 2.5.2.1.1 of NUREG–1800, Revision 1, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants’’ (SRP–LR), are adequate for the NRC staff’s review of license renewal applications. As such, the NRC staff is withdrawing the proposed LR–ISG– 2008–01. On March 12, 2008, the NRC requested public comments on the proposed LR–ISG in the Federal Register (73 FR 13258). The proposed LR–ISG and accompanying figures are available in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Nos. ML080520619 and ML080520620, respectively. The NRC staff drafted the proposed LR–ISG–2008–01 after finding that some license renewal applications did not include within the scope of license renewal all structures and components required by 10 CFR 54.4(a)(3) for demonstrating compliance with 10 CFR 50.63 (Station Blackout Rule). The proposed LR–ISG was intended to clarify the NRC staff’s acceptance criteria in SRP–LR section 2.5.2.1.1, ‘‘Components Within the Scope of SBO (10 CFR 50.63).’’ By letters dated May 9, 2008 (ML081400346), and May 12, 2008 (ML081350619), the NRC received comments on the proposed LR–ISG from the Strategic Teaming and Resource E:\FR\FM\13JYN1.SGM 13JYN1

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of issuance and availability of Draft Regulatory Guide, 
DG-1215.

Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, telephone: (301) 415-3026, e-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 
comment a draft guide in the agency's ``Regulatory Guide'' series. This 
series was developed to describe and make available to the public such 
information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for 
implementing specific parts of the NRC'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 draft regulatory guide (DG), titled, ``Quality Assurance 
Program

[[Page 33478]]

Requirements (Design and Construction),'' is temporarily identified by 
its task number, DG-1215, which should be mentioned in all related 
correspondence. DG-1215 is proposed Revision 4 of Regulatory Guide 
1.28.
    DG-1215 describes methods that the NRC staff considers acceptable 
for complying with the provisions of Appendix B, ``Quality Assurance 
Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,'' to 
Title 10, part 50, ``Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization 
Facilities,'' of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR part 50) for 
establishing and implementing a quality assurance (QA) program for the 
design and construction of nuclear power plants, fuel fabrication 
plants and fuel reprocessing plants.
    The methods described in this revision are similar to the methods 
described in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.28, ``Quality Assurance Program 
Requirements (Design and Construction),'' Revision 3, which is the 
previously published version of this regulatory guide. RG 1.33, 
``Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation)'' addresses 
additional guidance for the establishment and execution of QA programs 
for nuclear power plants during the operations phase, which is 
unaffected by the revision to RG 1.28. DG-1215 endorses methods defined 
in American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) NQA-1, ``Quality 
Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Facility Applications.'' The NRC is 
aware that the ASME standards committee has proposed minor changes to 
NQA-1 in a draft of ASME NQA-1a-2009, Addenda to ASME NQA-1-2008. If 
these addenda are issued in a timely manner, they will be considered 
for endorsement in RG 1.28, revision 4.
