II. Further Information The NRC seeks public comment on the proposed draft section revision SRP Section 5.4.2.1. The changes to this SRP section reflect current staff review methods and practices based on lessons learned from NRC reviews of design certification and combined license applications completed since the last revision of this section. Following the NRC staff’s evaluation of public comments, the NRC intends to finalize SRP Section 5.4.2.1, Revision 4, in ADAMS and post it on the NRC’s public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/ reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/ sr0800/. The SRP is guidance for the NRC staff. The SRP is not a substitute PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 23763 for the NRC regulations, and compliance with the SRP is not required. III. Backfitting and Issue Finality Issuance of these draft SRP sections, if finalized, would not constitute Backfitting as defined in § 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), (the Backfit Rule) or otherwise be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. The NRC’s position is based upon the following considerations. 1. The draft SRP positions, if finalized, would not constitute Backfitting, inasmuch as the SRP is internal guidance to NRC staff. The SRP provides internal guidance to the NRC 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 existing licensees either now or in the future. The NRC staff does not intend to impose or apply the positions described in the draft SRP to existing licenses and regulatory approvals. Hence, the issuance of a final SRP—even if considered guidance within the purview of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52—would not need to be evaluated as if it were a Backfit or as being inconsistent with issue finality provisions. If, in the future, the NRC staff seeks to impose a position in the SRP on holders of already issued licenses in a manner that 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 in the 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. Neither the Backfit Rule nor the issue finality provisions under 10 CFR part 52—with certain exclusions—were intended to apply to every NRC action that substantially changes the expectations of current and future applicants. The exceptions to the general principle are applicable whenever an applicant references a 10 CFR part 52 license (e.g., an early site E:\FR\FM\22APN1.SGM 22APN1 23764 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 78 / Friday, April 22, 2016 / Notices permit) and/or NRC regulatory approval (e.g., a design certification rule) with specified issue finality provisions. The NRC staff does not, at this time, intend to impose the positions represented in the draft SRP in a manner that is inconsistent with any issue finality provisions. If, in the future, the staff seeks to impose a position in the draft SRP in a manner that does not provide issue finality as described in the applicable issue finality provision, then the staff must address the criteria for avoiding issue finality as described in the applicable issue finality provision.

II. Further Information

    The NRC seeks public comment on the proposed draft section revision 
SRP Section 5.4.2.1. The changes to this SRP section reflect current 
staff review methods and practices based on lessons learned from NRC 
reviews of design certification and combined license applications 
completed since the last revision of this section.
    Following the NRC staff's evaluation of public comments, the NRC 
intends to finalize SRP Section 5.4.2.1, Revision 4, in ADAMS and post 
it on the NRC's public Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr0800/. The SRP is guidance for the NRC 
staff. The SRP is not a substitute for the NRC regulations, and 
compliance with the SRP is not required.

III. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    Issuance of these draft SRP sections, if finalized, would not 
constitute Backfitting as defined in Sec.  50.109 of title 10 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), (the Backfit Rule) or otherwise 
be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. 
The NRC's position is based upon the following considerations.
    1. The draft SRP positions, if finalized, would not constitute 
Backfitting, inasmuch as the SRP is internal guidance to NRC staff.
    The SRP provides internal guidance to the NRC 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 
existing licensees either now or in the future.
    The NRC staff does not intend to impose or apply the positions 
described in the draft SRP to existing licenses and regulatory 
approvals. Hence, the issuance of a final SRP--even if considered 
guidance within the purview of the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR 
part 52--would not need to be evaluated as if it were a Backfit or as 
being inconsistent with issue finality provisions. If, in the future, 
the NRC staff seeks to impose a position in the SRP on holders of 
already issued licenses in a manner that 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 in the 
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. Neither the Backfit Rule nor the issue 
finality provisions under 10 CFR part 52--with certain exclusions--were 
intended to apply to every NRC action that substantially changes the 
expectations of current and future applicants. The exceptions to the 
general principle are applicable whenever an applicant references a 10 
CFR part 52 license (e.g., an early site

[[Page 23764]]

permit) and/or NRC regulatory approval (e.g., a design certification 
rule) with specified issue finality provisions.
    The NRC staff does not, at this time, intend to impose the 
positions represented in the draft SRP in a manner that is inconsistent 
with any issue finality provisions. If, in the future, the staff seeks 
to impose a position in the draft SRP in a manner that does not provide 
issue finality as described in the applicable issue finality provision, 
then the staff must address the criteria for avoiding issue finality as 
described in the applicable issue finality provision.
