Aging Management of Loss of Coating
Integrity for Internal Service Level III
(Augmented) Coatings
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Draft license renewal interim
staff guidance; request for comment.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) requests public
comment on the draft License Renewal
Interim Staff Guidance (LR–ISG), LR–
ISG–2013–01, ‘‘Aging Management of
Loss of Coating Integrity for Internal
Service Level III (augmented) Coatings.’’
The draft LR–ISG proposes to add a new
NRC staff-recommended aging
management program (AMP), new aging
management review (AMR) items, and
new age-related definitions in NUREG–
1801, Revision 2, ‘‘Generic Aging
Lessons Learned (GALL) Report.’’ The
draft LR–ISG also adds new AMR items
and changes to the Final Safety Analysis
Supplement program description in
NUREG–1800, Revision 2, ‘‘Standard
Review Plan for Review of License
Renewal Applications for Nuclear
Power Plants’’ (SRP–LR). These changes
address new recommendations related
to Service Level III (augmented) (a new
term) internal coatings in piping, tanks,
and heat exchangers.

II. Background
The draft LR–ISG proposes to add a
new NRC staff-recommended aging
management program, new aging
management review items, and new agerelated definitions in NUREG–1801,
Revision 2, ‘‘Generic Aging Lessons
Learned Report.’’ The draft LR–ISG also
adds new AMR items and changes to the
Final Safety Analysis Supplement
program description in NUREG–1800,
Revision 2, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for
Review of License Renewal
Applications for Nuclear Power Plants.’’
These changes address new
recommendations related to Service
Level III (augmented) internal coatings
in piping, tanks, and heat exchangers
within the scope of part 54 of Title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), ‘‘Requirements for Renewal of
Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power
Plants.’’
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–ISGs 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 LR–ISG–
2013–01 to address: loss of coating
integrity due to blistering, cracking,
flaking, peeling, or physical damage of
Service Level III (augmented) internal
coatings in piping, tanks, and heat
exchangers within the scope of 10 CFR
Part 54.

III. Proposed Action
By this action, the NRC is requesting
public comments on draft LR–ISG–
2013–01. 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.

Notice is hereby given that, pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments
on the collection of information

plans to submit this existing collection
of information to the office of

approval of extensions on the following:
Form 10 (17 CFR 249.210) is used by
the Commission to register securities
pursuant to Section 12(b) and Section
12(g) (15 U.S.C. 78l(b) and 78l(g)) of the
Exchange Act of 1934. Form 10 requires
financial and other information about
such matters as the registrant’s business,
properties, identity and remuneration of
management, outstanding securities and
securities to be registered and financial
condition. The information provided by
Form 10 is intended to ensure the
adequacy of information available to
investors about the company. Form 10
takes approximately 215.210 hours per
response to prepare and is filed by
approximately 238 respondents. We
estimated that 25% of the 215.210 hours
per response (53.802 hours) is prepared
by the company for an annual reporting
burden of 12, 805 hours (53.802 hours
per response x 238 responses).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
Written comments are invited on: (a)
Whether the proposed collection of

of burden of the collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology. Consideration will be given
to comments and suggestions submitted
in writing within 60 days of this
publication.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

Section 17(d) (15 U.S.C. 80a–17(d)) of
the Investment Company Act of 1940
(15 U.S.C. 80a et seq.) (the ‘‘Act’’)
prohibits first- and second-tier affiliates
of a fund, the fund’s principal

underwriters, and affiliated persons of
the fund’s principal underwriters, acting
as principal, to effect any transaction in
which the fund or a company controlled
by the fund is a joint or a joint and
several participant in contravention of
the Commission’s rules. Rule 17d–1 (17
CFR 270.17d–1) prohibits an affiliated
person of or principal underwriter for
any fund (a ‘‘first-tier affiliate’’), or any
affiliated person of such person or
underwriter (a ‘‘second-tier affiliate’’),
acting as principal, from participating in
or effecting any transaction in
connection with a joint enterprise or
other joint arrangement in which the
fund is a participant, unless prior to
entering into the enterprise or
arrangement ‘‘an application regarding
[the transaction] has been filed with the
Commission and has been granted by an
order.’’ In reviewing the proposed
affiliated transaction, the rule provides
that the Commission will consider
whether the proposal is (i) consistent
with the provisions, policies, and
purposes of the Act, and (ii) on a basis
different from or less advantageous than
that of other participants in determining
whether to grant an exemptive
application for a proposed joint
enterprise, joint arrangement, or profitsharing plan.
Rule 17d–1 also contains a number of
exceptions to the requirement that a
fund must obtain Commission approval
prior to entering into joint transactions
or arrangements with affiliates. For
example, funds do not have to obtain
Commission approval for certain
employee compensation plans, certain
tax-deferred employee benefit plans,
certain transactions involving small
business investment companies, the
receipt of securities or cash by certain
affiliates pursuant to a plan of
reorganization, certain arrangements
regarding liability insurance policies
and transactions with ‘‘portfolio
affiliates’’ (companies that are affiliated
with the fund solely as a result of the
fund (or an affiliated fund) controlling
them or owning more than five percent
of their voting securities) so long as
certain other affiliated persons of the
fund (e.g., the fund’s adviser, persons
controlling the fund, and persons under
common control with the fund) are not
parties to the transaction and do not
have a ‘‘financial interest’’ in a party to
the transaction. The rule excludes from
the definition of ‘‘financial interest’’ any
interest that the fund’s board of
directors (including a majority of the
directors who are not interested persons
of the fund) finds to be not material, as
long as the board records the basis for
its finding in their meeting minutes.
