tests, and analyses for ITAAC 2.1.03.11,
and that the specified acceptance
criteria are met for Virgil C. Summer
Nuclear Station Unit 2 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML14150A424). This
ITAAC was approved as part of the
issuance of the combined license,
NPF–93, for this facility.
NRC Staff Determination of Completion
of ITAAC
The NRC staff has determined that the
inspections, tests, and analyses have
been successfully completed, and that
the specified acceptance criteria are met
for Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station
Unit 2, ITAAC 2.1.03.11. This notice
fulfills the staff’s obligations under 10
CFR 52.99(e)(1) to publish a notice in
the Federal Register of the NRC staff’s
determination of the successful
completion of inspections, tests and
analyses.
The documentation of the NRC staff’s
determination is in the ITAAC Closure
Verification Evaluation Form (VEF),
dated June 10, 2014 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML14161A578). The VEF is a form
that represents the NRC staff’s
structured process for reviewing ICNs.
The ICN presents a narrative description
of how the ITAAC was completed, and
the NRC’s ICN review process involves
a determination on whether, among
other things, (1) the ICN provides
sufficient information, including a
summary of the methodology used to
perform the ITAAC, to demonstrate that
the inspections, tests, and analyses have
been successfully completed; (2) the
ICN provides sufficient information to
demonstrate that the acceptance criteria

are met; and (3) any inspections for the
ITAAC have been completed and any
ITAAC findings associated with the
ITAAC have been closed.
The NRC staff’s determination of the
successful completion of this ITAAC is
based on information available at this
time and is subject to the licensee’s
ability to maintain the condition that
the acceptance criteria are met. If new
information disputes the NRC staff’s
determination, this ITAAC will be
reopened as necessary. The NRC staff’s
determination will be used to support a
subsequent finding, pursuant to 10 CFR
52.103(g), at the end of construction that
all acceptance criteria in the combined
license are met. The ITAAC closure
process is not finalized for this ITAAC
until the NRC makes an affirmative
finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any
future updates to the status of this
ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC’s
Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/
new-reactors/oversight/itaac.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On July 11, 2013 (78 FR 41810), the
NRC published for public comment the
proposed revisions to this section of the
SRP. The staff made changes to the
proposed revision after consideration of
comments received. A summary of the
comments and the staff’s disposition of
the comments are available in a separate
document, ‘‘Response to Public
Comments on Draft SRP Section 9.1.4’’
(ADAMS Accession No. ML13318A795).
The changes to this SRP chapter
reflect current staff review methods and
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
practices based on lessons learned from
NRC’s reviews of design certification
and combined license applications
completed since the last revision of this
chapter. This chapter has been updated
primarily to reflect operating experience
associated with IE Bulletin 84–03,
‘‘Refueling Cavity Water Seal’’ (ADAMS
Accession No. ML082700127).
II. Backfitting and Issue Finality
Issuance of this final SRP section does
not constitute backfitting as defined in
§ 50.109 of Title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) (the
Backfit Rule) and is not otherwise
inconsistent with the issue finality
provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The staff’s
position is based upon the following
considerations:
1. The SRP positions do not constitute
backfitting, inasmuch as the SRP is
internal guidance directed at the NRC
staff with respect to their regulatory
responsibilities.
The SRP provides guidance to the
staff on how to review an application for
NRC regulatory approval in the form of
licensing. Changes in internal staff
guidance are not matters for which
either nuclear power plant applicants or
licensees are protected under either the
Backfit Rule or the issue finality
provisions of 10 CFR part 52.
2. The NRC staff has no intention to
impose the SRP positions on current
licensees and regulatory approvals
either now or in the future.
The staff does not intend to impose or
apply the positions described in the SRP
to existing (already issued) licenses and
regulatory approvals. Hence, the
issuance of a final SRP—even if
considered guidance which is within
the purview of the issue finality
provisions in 10 CFR part 52—need not
be evaluated as if it were a backfit or as
being inconsistent with issue finality
provisions. If, in the future, the staff
seeks to impose a position in the SRP on
holders of already issued holders of
licenses SRP in a manner which does
not provide issue finality as described
in the applicable issue finality
provision, then the staff must make the
showing as set forth in the Backfit Rule
or address the criteria for avoiding issue
finality as described applicable issue
finality provision.
3. Backfitting and issue finality do
not—with limited exceptions not
applicable here—protect current or
future applicants.
Applicants and potential applicants
are not, with certain exceptions,
protected by either the Backfit Rule or
any issue finality provisions under 10
CFR part 52. This is because neither the
Backfit Rule nor the issue finality

NRC Staff Determination of Completion of ITAAC
The NRC staff has determined that the inspections, tests, and
analyses have been successfully completed, and that the specified
acceptance criteria are met for Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Unit
2, ITAAC 2.1.03.11. This notice fulfills the staff's obligations under
10 CFR 52.99(e)(1) to publish a notice in the Federal Register of the
NRC staff's determination of the successful completion of inspections,
tests and analyses.
The documentation of the NRC staff's determination is in the ITAAC
Closure Verification Evaluation Form (VEF), dated June 10, 2014 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML14161A578). The VEF is a form that represents the NRC
staff's structured process for reviewing ICNs. The ICN presents a

the ICN provides sufficient information to demonstrate that the
acceptance criteria
[[Page 45496]]
are met; and (3) any inspections for the ITAAC have been completed and
any ITAAC findings associated with the ITAAC have been closed.
The NRC staff's determination of the successful completion of this
ITAAC is based on information available at this time and is subject to
the licensee's ability to maintain the condition that the acceptance
criteria are met. If new information disputes the NRC staff's
determination, this ITAAC will be reopened as necessary. The NRC
staff's determination will be used to support a subsequent finding,
pursuant to 10 CFR 52.103(g), at the end of construction that all
acceptance criteria in the combined license are met. The ITAAC closure
process is not finalized for this ITAAC until the NRC makes an
affirmative finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any future updates to the
status of this ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC's Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/oversight/itaac.html.
