Sunshine Act Meeting Notice, 12092 [2012-4808]

This action effectively minimizes the differences in preservice examination requirements when developing the ISI program but is not mandatory. For its initial 120-month interval, a COL licensee may submit to the NRC a request to authorize an alternative to use a different edition and addenda of ASME B&PV Code, Section III, than that established in the design certification application, or an earlier edition and addenda of ASME B&PV Code, Section XI, than that required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)(3)(i), for developing its PSI program. According to 10 CFR 50.55a, the COL licensee would need to demonstrate that (1) this edition and addenda of ASME B&PV Code, Section III or XI, would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety, or (2) compliance with the specified requirement to use the latest edition and addenda would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety. Risk-Informed IST and ISI Programs On several occasions, the NRC staff has been asked to define its position on Risk-Informed IST and ISI program submittals during the COL application process. A COL applicant or licensee may submit Risk-Informed IST and ISI programs for NRC staff review and authorization as an alternative to the regulations as described in 10 CFR 50.55a. The COL applicant or licensee will need to satisfy the requirements for authorization of an alternative as specified in 10 CFR 50.55a. The NRC staff recommends that a conventional IST or ISI program be in place or developed before preparing a Risk-Informed IST or ISI program to facilitate the evaluation of the acceptability of the alternative program. This recommendation is based solely on the fact that the existing design certification applications, the Standard Review Plan acceptance criteria, the applicable NUREG documents, and the COL applications conform to the premise that conventional IST/ISI programs have been developed prior to a Risk-Informed program. No regulation requires that a conventional IST/ISI program be developed prior to a RiskInformed IST or ISI program submission as an alternative. However, the NRC staff considers this approach to provide the most expedient course for review and approval of a Risk Informed IST or ISI program. Backfit Discussion This RIS clarifies current regulatory requirements and provides voluntary VerDate Mar<15>2010 20:10 Feb 27, 2012 Jkt 226001 options that a COL licensee may propose. The RIS imposes no new requirements and necessitates no action or written response. Therefore, it does not constitute a backfit under 10 CFR 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and the staff did not perform a backfit analysis. Congressional Review Act [Discussion to be provided in the final RIS.] Paperwork Reduction Act Statement This RIS does not contain new or amended information collection requirements that are subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the existing requirements under OMB approval numbers 3150– 0011 and 3150–0151. Public Protection Notification The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, an information collection unless the requesting document displays a currently valid OMB control number.
