II. Further Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’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. DG–1271 is proposed revision 1 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.185, ‘‘Standard Format and Content for Post-shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report,’’ which was issued in July 2000. DG– 1271 would update RG 1.185 to reflect lessons learned since its original issuance. This regulatory guide identifies the type of information that the PSDAR must contain and establishes a standard format for the PSDAR that the NRC staff considers acceptable. The PSDAR is required of nuclear power plant licensees before or within two years of permanent cessation of operations. The report must include a description of the licensee’s planned decommissioning activities, a schedule for the accomplishment of significant milestones, an estimate of expected costs, and a discussion of the licensee’s evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with site-specific decommissioning activities. III. Backfitting and Issue Finality As discussed in the ‘‘Implementation’’ section of this regulatory guide, the NRC has no current intention to impose this regulatory guide on holders of current operating licenses or combined licenses. Accordingly, the issuance of this regulatory guide would not constitute ‘‘backfitting’’ as defined in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1) of the Backfit Rule or be otherwise inconsistent with the PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 75199 applicable issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52.
