II. Background
In November 1980, the Federal
Emergency Management Agency issued
‘‘Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation
of Radiological Emergency Response
Plans and Preparedness in Support of
Nuclear Power Plants’’ (NUREG–0654/
FEMA–REP–1, Rev. 1) jointly with the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
as a joint policy document. (45 FR
85862, December 30, 1980).

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 103 / Friday, May 29, 2015 / Notices
NUREG–0654/FEMA–REP–1, Rev. 1
was issued as a joint FEMA/NRC policy
document that provides guidance on the
sixteen Planning Standards referenced
in FEMA’s regulations at 44 CFR 350.5
and the NRC’s regulations at 10 CFR
part 50. Both agencies use these
Planning Standards to evaluate the
adequacy of the emergency plans of
commercial nuclear power plant owners
and operators, and the emergency plans
and preparedness of State and local
governments within the Emergency
Planning Zones surrounding
commercial nuclear power plants.
Since the publication of NUREG–
0654/FEMA–REP–1, Rev. 1 in 1980, four
supplementary documents and one
addendum (66 FR 22270, May 3, 2001)
have been issued that update and
modify specific planning and
procedural elements. These documents
are available online at https://
www.regulations.gov (Docket ID FEMA–
2012–0026). FEMA and the NRC are
considering revising NUREG–0654/
FEMA–REP–1, Rev. 1 to address
stakeholder interest and the various
emergency planning and preparedness
lessons learned since its initial
publication.
Since the publication of these
documents, there have been changes to
FEMA and NRC regulations, guidance,
policies and advances in technology.
FEMA, working with the NRC, is
soliciting comments from stakeholders
and interested members of the public on
the draft document ‘‘Criteria for
Preparation and Evaluation of
Radiological Emergency Response Plans
and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear
Power Plants,’’ NUREG–0654/FEMA–
REP–1, Rev. 2. The document is
available online at https://
www.regulations.gov (Docket ID FEMA–
2012–0026).
FEMA and the NRC held two public
meetings on August 22, 2012 and
September 13, 2012 as well as two
public stakeholder engagement sessions
held on October 29–31, 2013 and June
25, 2014. The purpose of these public
meetings were to: (1) Solicit input from
stakeholders and interested members of
the public on the scope of future
revisions to NUREG–0654/FEMA–REP–
1, Rev.1; (2) describe the proposed
timeline for the revisions to NUREG–
0654/FEMA–REP–1, Rev.1; (3) promote
transparency, public participation, and
collaboration during the NUREG–0654/
FEMA–REP–1, Rev.1 revision process;
and (4) allow direct input to the writing
teams during the writing process. All of
the presentation material and meeting
