requirements and applicable license
conditions regarding the treatment of
natural phenomena events in the
facilities’ safety assessments, and to
determine if additional NRC regulatory
action is necessary to ensure that
licensees are in compliance with their
current licensing basis and existing
NRC’s regulations. The NRC will use the
information submitted by licensees in
response to the generic letter to
determine if additional regulatory action
is warranted.

II. Background
The draft LR–ISG would replace AMP
XI.M41, ‘‘Buried and Underground
Piping and Tanks,’’ and its associated
UFSAR Summary Description in LR–
ISG–2011–03. These proposed changes
to AMP XI.M41 address new
recommendations related to buried and
underground piping and tanks 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).
III. Proposed Action
By this action, the NRC is requesting
public comments on draft LR–ISG–
2015–01. 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.
IV. Backfitting and Issue Finality
Issuance of this LR–ISG in final form
would not constitute backfitting as
defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit
Rule) and would not otherwise be
inconsistent with the issue finality
provisions in 10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses,
Certifications, and Approvals for
Nuclear Power Plants.’’ As discussed in
the ‘‘Backfitting and Issue Finality’’
section of draft LR–ISG–2015–01, the
LR–ISG is directed to holders of
operating licenses or combined licenses
who are currently in the license renewal
process. The LR–ISG is not directed to
holders of operating licenses or
combined licenses until they apply for
license renewal. The LR–ISG is also not
directed to licensees who already hold
renewed operating or combined
licenses. However, the NRC could also
use the LR–ISG in evaluating voluntary,

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).
III. Proposed Action
By this action, the NRC is requesting public comments on draft LR-
ISG-2015-01. 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.
IV. Backfitting and Issue Finality
Issuance of this LR-ISG in final form would not constitute
backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit Rule) and would
not otherwise be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10
CFR part 52, ``Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear
Power Plants.'' As discussed in the ``Backfitting and Issue Finality''
section of draft LR-ISG-2015-01, the LR-ISG is directed to holders of
operating licenses or combined licenses who are currently in the
license renewal process. The LR-ISG is not directed to holders of
operating licenses or combined licenses until they apply for license
renewal. The LR-ISG is also not directed to licensees who already hold
renewed operating or combined licenses. However, the NRC could also use
the LR-ISG in evaluating voluntary,

programs.
