Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 157 / Monday, August 17, 2009 / Notices
(1) NEI’s first comment addresses the
proposed revision to RIS 2007–16. The
NRC staff is addressing this comment in
the revision to RIS 2007–16, which is
planned to be issued separately.
(2) NEI commented that it agrees with
the NRC staff’s proposed change to RIS
2007–16 to include a backfit review of
all LR–ISG documents under 10 CFR
50.109. However, NEI further
commented, this addition of backfit
review for LR–ISGs should have no
impact on implementation or
interpretation of 10 CFR 54.37(b). The
NRC staff agrees with NEI’s comment
and no changes have been made from
the proposed LR–ISG process revision.
The revised LR–ISG process contains
the framework for developing and
implementing LR–ISGs, including
provisions for determining whether 10
CFR 54.37(b) and 10 CFR 50.109 apply
to an LR–ISG, and according
documentation. The LR–ISG process
references RIS 2007–16, which provides
guidance on interpretation and licensee
implementation of 10 CFR 54.37(b).
NEI also commented that it agrees
with the NRC staff’s proposed change to
extend the LR–ISG process to include
environmental review issues. As such,
the NRC staff has made no changes to
the proposed LR–ISG process revision.
(3) NEI recommended that the NRC
consider splitting RIS 2007–16 into two
separate documents, one on
implementation of 10 CFR 54.37(b) and
the other on the LR–ISG process,
including the requirement for backfit
analysis for proposed LR–ISGs. The
NRC staff agrees with NEI’s
recommendation that the documents are
separate. The two documents are the
revised LR–ISG process and RIS 2007–
16. The NRC staff intends for the focus
of these two documents to be as
described in the response to the
previous comment.
In its comments, NEI also suggested
that the NRC include the requirement
for ‘‘backfit analysis’’ for LR–ISGs. The
NRC staff would like to clarify that, as
described in the proposed LR–ISG
process revision, the NRC staff will
perform a backfitting review of LR–ISGs;
however, the NRC staff will only
prepare a backfitting analysis in certain
cases, which is consistent with the
requirements of 10 CFR 50.109. If, as a
result of its backfitting review, the NRC
staff determines that an LR–ISG
constitutes backfitting, as defined in 10
CFR 50.109(a)(1), then a backfitting
analysis is required to demonstrate that
backfitting is necessary because it
constitutes a substantial increase in
protection to public health and safety or
the common defense and security, and
the cost is justified in light of the

substantial increase. If an LR–ISG
constitutes backfitting, but one or more
of the exceptions in 10 CFR
50.109(a)(4)(i) through (iii) apply, then a
backfitting analysis is not required, but
the NRC staff is required to prepare a
documented backfitting evaluation.
(4) NEI commented that the NRC
deleted from RIS 2007–16, Revision 0,
NRC’s agreement to inform renewed
license holders of new LR–ISGs and to
inform the industry of ‘‘newly
identified’’ SSCs. NEI suggested that
this information could be added to
Section 4.2.4 of the LR–ISG process. NEI
indicated that this information is
valuable to licensees and requested that
the NRC staff retain the expectation to
communicate it.
The NRC staff agrees with NEI’s
comment to include this information in
Section 4.2.4 of the LR–ISG process.
Accordingly, the revised LR–ISG
process states that when an LR–ISG
constitutes backfitting under 10 CFR
50.109, or communicates ‘‘newlyidentified’’ SSCs under the provisions of
10 CFR 54.37(b), the NRC staff will
notify applicable renewed license
holders as appropriate, for example, by
issuing letters or a generic
communication. The NRC staff will
continue to make draft and final LR–
ISGs publicly available, and notices of
availability or the opportunity to
provide comments will be published in
the Federal Register. Electronic copies
of draft and final LR–ISGs will be made
available on the NRC’s public Web site.

of August, 2009.
