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 regarding 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 issues or postulated events, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Revision 1 of RG 1.212 was issued with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1311. This RG is being updated to provide guidance to applicants and licensees for defining the direct current load and size of vented lead acid batteries for full float stationary applications to support nuclear power plant operations. II. Additional Information DG–1313 was published in the Federal Register on April 20, 2015 (80 FR 21774) for a 60-day public comment period. The public comment period closed on June 19, 2015, and no comments were received. PO 00000 Frm 00061 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65255 III. Congressional Review Act This RG 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 This RG provides guidance to applicants and licensees for defining the direct current load and size of lead-acid batteries needed to supply the defined load for full float stationary applications to support nuclear power plant operations. This RG 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, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ As discussed in the ‘‘Implementation’’ section of the RG, the NRC has no current intention to impose this RG on current holders of part 50 operating licenses or part 52 combined licenses. This RG may be applied to applications for operating licenses and combined licenses docketed by the NRC as of the date of issuance of the RG, as well as future applications for operating licenses and combined licenses submitted after the issuance of the RG. 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 provision in 10 CFR part 52, inasmuch as such applicants or potential applicants, with exceptions not applicable here, are not within the scope of entities protected by the Backfit Rule or the relevant issue finality provisions in part 52.
