Backfitting and Issue Finality Issuance of this regulatory guide does not constitute backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit Rule) and is not otherwise inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR Part 52. This regulatory guide will not apply to any construction permits, operating licenses, early site permits, limited work authorizations issued under 10 CFR 50.10 for which the NRC issued a final environmental impact statement (EIS) preceded by a draft EIS under 10 CFR 51.76 or 51.75, or combined licenses, any of which were issued by the NRC prior to issuance of the final regulatory guide.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

The NRC is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the NRC'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 3 of RG 4.7 was issued with a temporary identification as
Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-4021. This revision of the guide
incorporates references to Part 52 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR), and to relevant sections in the NRC's standard
review plan (NUREG-0800)

[[Page 17583]]

that the staff uses to evaluate nuclear power plant license
applications and the standard review plan for environmental review of
nuclear power plants (NUREG-1555). In addition, the technical
references were updated.

II. Further Information

DG-4021 was issued for public comment in the Federal Register on
December 30, 2011 (76 FR 82201), for a 60-day public comment period.
The public comment period closed on February 25, 2012. Public comments
on DG-4021 and the staff responses to the public comments are available
in ADAMS under Accession No. ML12188A054.

II. Congressional Review Act

This regulatory guide is a rule as defined in the Congressional
Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808). However, the Office of Management and
Budget has not found it to be a major rule as defined in the
Congressional Review Act.

IV. Backfitting and Issue Finality

Issuance of this regulatory guide does not constitute backfitting
as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit Rule) and is not otherwise
inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR Part 52. This
regulatory guide will not apply to any construction permits, operating
licenses, early site permits, limited work authorizations issued under
10 CFR 50.10 for which the NRC issued a final environmental impact
statement (EIS) preceded by a draft EIS under 10 CFR 51.76 or 51.75, or
combined licenses, any of which were issued by the NRC prior to
issuance of the final regulatory guide. The NRC has already completed
its siting determination for those construction permits, operating
licenses, early site permits, limited work authorizations, and combined
licenses. Therefore, no further NRC regulatory action on siting will
occur for those licenses, permits, and authorizations, for which the
guidance in the regulatory guide would be relevant.
This regulatory guide may be applied to applications for early site
permits, combined licenses, and limited work authorizations issued
under 10 CFR 50.10, which includes information under 10 CFR 51.49(b) or
(f), where the application is docketed by the NRC as of the date of
issuance of the final regulatory guide, as well as future applications
for construction permits, early site permits, combined licenses, and
limited work authorizations, which includes information under 10 CFR
51.49(b) or (f), where the application is submitted after the issuance
of the final regulatory guide. Such action does not constitute
backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1) and is not otherwise
inconsistent with the applicable issue finality provisions in 10 CFR
Part 52, inasmuch as such applicants or potential applicants are not
within the scope of entities protected by the Backfit Rule or the
relevant issue finality provisions in Part 52.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 24th day of March, 2014.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of Engineering,
