Background
The NRC issued the previous LR–ISG
process on August 7, 2009, and a notice
of availability was published in the
Federal Register on August 17, 2009 (74
FR 41461). In this previous process, the
NRC staff addressed a recommendation
from the NRC’s Office of the Inspector
General (OIG) report, OIG–07–A–15,
‘‘Audit of the NRC’s License Renewal
Program,’’ dated September 6, 2007
(ML072490486). Accordingly,
enhancements were made to the LR–ISG
process for the NRC staff to evaluate and
document its determinations as to
whether LR–ISGs meet the provisions of
10 CFR 54.37(b) and 10 CFR 50.109. As
part of this evaluation, the previous LR–
ISG process references a draft version of
NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS)
2007–16, Revision 1, ‘‘Implementation
of the Requirements of 10 CFR 54.37(b)
for Holders of Renewed Licenses.’’ At
the time the previous process was
issued, the NRC staff had not issued the
final RIS 2007–16, Revision 1.
After issuance of the previous LR–ISG
process, the NRC staff identified the
need to make some additional
clarifications and administrative
changes to the process. The
clarifications concern the staff’s
evaluation of LR–ISGs under 10 CFR
54.37(b) and 10 CFR 50.109 and the
applicability of LR–ISGs to renewed
license holders. The administrative
changes include reference to the final
RIS 2007–16, Revision 1, which the
NRC issued on April 28, 2010
(ML100250279), and minor changes to
the format and content of LR–ISG
documents.
The NRC staff incorporated these
changes into the revised LR–ISG
process, which was issued on June 14,
2010. The NRC did not publish a
request for public comment in the
Federal Register because of the
administrative scope of the changes and
clarifications.
Final Action
By this action, the NRC is notifying
the public of issuance of the revised LR–
ISG process. As of June 14, 2010, the
NRC staff will use this process to guide
the development and implementation of
LR–ISGs.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day
of June 2010.

Director, Division of License Renewal, Office
of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
