SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Brian E. Holian,
Director, Division of License Renewal, Office of Nuclear Reactor 
Regulation.
