II. Background

    The NRC issues LR-ISGs to communicate insights and lessons learned 
and to address emergent issues not covered in license renewal guidance 
documents, such as the GALL Report and SRP-LR. In this way, the NRC 
staff and stakeholders may use the guidance in an LR-ISG document 
before it is incorporated into a formal license renewal guidance 
document revision. The NRC staff issues LR-ISG in accordance with the 
LR-ISG Process, Revision 2 (ADAMS Accession No. ML100920158), for which 
a notice of availability was published in the Federal Register on June 
22, 2010 (75 FR 35510).
    The NRC staff has developed draft LR-ISG-2011-03 to (a) include 
inspection recommendations for plants that will not have a cathodic 
protection system in the period of extended operation, (b) remove the 
recommendation to volumetrically inspect underground piping to detect 
internal corrosion, (c) base further increased inspection sample sizes 
on an analysis of extent of cause and extent of condition when adverse 
conditions are detected in the initial and subsequent doubled sample 
size rather than continuing to double the sample size, (d) add a 
recommendation that where damage to the coating is significant and the 
damage was caused by non-conforming backfill, an extent of condition 
evaluation should be conducted to ensure that the as-left condition of 
backfill in the vicinity of observed damage will not lead to further 
degradation, (e) add specific acceptance criteria for cathodic 
protection surveys, (f) add the specific preventive and mitigative 
actions utilized by the AMP in the FSAR Supplement description of the 
program as contained in the SRP-LR, and (g) make miscellaneous and 
editorial changes.

Proposed Action

    By this action, the NRC is requesting public comments on draft LR-
ISG-2011-03. This LR-ISG proposes certain revisions to NRC guidance on 
implementation of the requirements in 10 CFR Part 54. The NRC staff 
will make a final determination regarding issuance of the LR-ISG after 
it considers any public comments received in response to this request.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 1st day of March 2012.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
