Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as 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. Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 3.71, entitled, ‘‘Nuclear Criticality Safety Standards for Fuels and Material Facilities,’’ was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–3030. Regulatory Guide 3.71 provides applicants, licensees, and certificate holders with updated guidance concerning criticality safety standards that the NRC has endorsed for use with nuclear fuels and material facilities. As such, Regulatory Guide 3.71 describes methods that the NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the NRC’s regulations in Title 10, of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 70, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Special Nuclear Material,’’ and 76, ‘‘Certification of Gaseous Diffusion Plants’’ (10 CFR parts 70 and 76). The NRC staff has revised Regulatory Guide 3.71 to provide guidance on complying with these portions of the VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:48 Dec 30, 2010 Jkt 223001 NRC’s regulations. This guide describes procedures for preventing nuclear criticality accidents in operations that involve handling, processing, storing, and/or transporting special nuclear material at fuel and material facilities. It also endorses specific nuclear criticality safety standards developed by the American Nuclear Society’s Standards Subcommittee 8 (ANS–8), ‘‘Operations with Fissionable Materials Outside Reactors.’’ Regulatory Guide 3.71 is not intended for use by nuclear reactor licensees. In July 2010, DG–3030 was published with a public comment period of 60 days from the issuance of the guide. The public comment period closed on September 29, 2010. The staff’s responses to the public comments received are located in the NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access and Management System under Accession Number ML103210349. Electronic copies of Regulatory guide 3.71, Revision 2 are available through the NRC’s public Web site under ‘‘Regulatory Guides’’ at https:// www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doccollections/. In addition, regulatory guides are available for inspection at the NRC’s Public Document Room (PDR) located at Room O–1F 21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 20852–2738. The PDR’s mailing address is USNRC PDR, Washington, DC 20555–0001. The PDR can also be reached by telephone: 301– 415–4737 or 800–397–4209, by fax: 301–415–3548, and by e-mail: pdr@nrc.gov. Regulatory guides are not copyrighted, and Commission approval is not required to reproduce them. Dated at Rockville, Maryland this 23rd day of December 2010. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. John N. Ridgely, Acting Chief, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.

ACTION: Notice of Availability. SUMMARY: As part of the consolidated line item improvement process (CLIIP), the NRC is announcing the availability of the model application (with model no significant hazards consideration determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) for the plant-specific adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF–513, Revision 3, ‘‘Revise PWR [pressurized water reactor] Operability Requirements and Actions for RCS [reactor coolant system] Leakage Instrumentation.’’ TSTF–513, Revision 3, is available in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Number ML102360355. The proposed changes would revise the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) to define a new time limit for restoring inoperable RCS leakage detection instrumentation to operable status and establish alternate methods of monitoring RCS leakage when one or more required monitors are inoperable. Changes to the Technical Specifications (TS) Bases are included, which reflect the proposed changes and more accurately reflect the contents of the facility design bases related to the operability of the RCS leakage detection instrumentation. The CLIIP model SE will facilitate expedited approval of plant-specific adoption of TSTF–513, Revision 3.

TSTF– 513, Revision 3, is applicable to PWR plants. Licensees opting to apply for this TS change are responsible for reviewing TSTF–513, Revision 3, and the NRC staff’s model SE, referencing the applicable technical justifications, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: providing any necessary plant-specific information, and assessing the completeness and accuracy of their license amendment request (LAR). It is acceptable for licensees to use plantspecific system names, TS numbering and titles. The NRC will process each amendment application responding to this notice of availability according to applicable NRC rules and procedures. The CLIIP does not prevent licensees from requesting an alternate approach or proposing changes other than those proposed in TSTF–513, Revision 3. However, significant deviations from the approach recommended in this notice or the inclusion of additional changes to the license require additional NRC staff review and would not be reviewed as a part of the CLIIP. This may increase the time and resources needed for the review or result in NRC staff rejection of the LAR. Licensees desiring significant deviations or additional changes should instead submit an LAR that does not claim to adopt TSTF–513, Revision 3. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Melissa A. Ash, Acting Chief, Licensing Processes Branch, Division of Policy and Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

Notice of Availability of the Models for Plant-Specific Adoption 
of Technical Specifications Task Force Traveler TSTF-513, Revision 3, 
``Revise PWR Operability Requirements and Actions for RCS Leakage 
Instrumentation''

AGENCY: U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Notice of Availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: As part of the consolidated line item improvement process 
(CLIIP), the NRC is announcing the availability of the model 
application (with model no significant hazards consideration 
determination) and model safety evaluation (SE) for the plant-specific 
adoption of Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) Traveler TSTF-
513, Revision 3, ``Revise PWR [pressurized water reactor] Operability 
Requirements and Actions for RCS [reactor coolant system] Leakage 
Instrumentation.'' TSTF-513, Revision 3, is available in the Agencywide 
Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) under Accession Number 
ML102360355. The proposed changes would revise the Standard Technical 
Specifications (STS) to define a new time limit for restoring 
inoperable RCS leakage detection instrumentation to operable status and 
establish alternate methods of monitoring RCS leakage when one or more 
required monitors are inoperable. Changes to the Technical 
Specifications (TS) Bases are included, which reflect the proposed 
changes and more accurately reflect the contents of the facility design 
bases related to the operability of the RCS leakage detection 
instrumentation. The CLIIP model SE will facilitate expedited approval 
of plant-specific adoption of TSTF-513, Revision 3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: TSTF-513, Revision 3, is applicable to PWR 
plants. Licensees opting to apply for this TS change are responsible 
for reviewing TSTF-513, Revision 3, and the NRC staff's model SE, 
referencing the applicable technical justifications, providing any 
necessary plant-specific information, and assessing the completeness 
and accuracy of their license amendment request (LAR). It is acceptable 
for licensees to use plant-specific system names, TS numbering and 
titles. The NRC will process each amendment application responding to 
this notice of availability according to applicable NRC rules and 
procedures.
    The CLIIP does not prevent licensees from requesting an alternate 
approach or proposing changes other than those proposed in TSTF-513, 
Revision 3. However, significant deviations from the approach 
recommended in this notice or the inclusion of additional changes to 
the license require additional NRC staff review and would not be 
reviewed as a part of the CLIIP. This may increase the time and 
resources needed for the review or result in NRC staff rejection of the 
LAR. Licensees desiring significant deviations or additional changes 
should instead submit an LAR that does not claim to adopt TSTF-513, 
Revision 3.
