AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Draft regulatory issue summary; request for comment.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public 
comment on a draft regulatory issue summary (RIS) to inform nuclear 
power reactor licensees of existing requirements related to 
dispositioning information pertaining to the capability of safety-
related structures, systems, and components (SSCs) to perform their 
safety-related functions in nuclear power plants. The draft RIS 
addresses instances where a licensee becomes aware of credible 
information pertaining to the time period that a safety-related 
structure, system, or component is installed that may negatively impact 
its ability to perform its safety-related function or functions. 
Licensees must address this information consistent with their licensing 
basis and applicable NRC requirements.

II. Background

    The NRC staff has developed draft RIS 2016-xx, ``Disposition of 
Information Related to the Time Period that Safety-Related Structures, 
Systems, or Components are Installed,'' to clarify NRC requirements and 
programs that provide quality assurance and ensure the operability of 
safety-related SSCs. When a licensee either becomes aware that a 
safety-related SSC has been installed for longer that the amount of 
time described in the licensing basis, or becomes aware of credible 
information that challenges the presumption that a safety-related SSC 
can continue to perform its safety function(s), the licensee must 
assess the information consistent with their licensing basis and 
applicable NRC requirements. These instances must be addressed in 
accordance with a licensee's NRC-approved quality assurance program, 
operability/functionality determination process, and corrective action 
program.
    The NRC issues RISs to communicate with stakeholders on a broad 
range of matters. This may include clarification of existing 
requirements and regulations.

Proposed Action

    The NRC is requesting public comment on the draft RIS. The NRC 
plans to hold a public meeting to discuss this draft RIS. All comments 
that are to receive consideration in the final RIS must still be 
submitted electronically or in writing as indicated in the ADDRESSES 
section of this document. Additional details regarding the meeting will 
be posted at least 10 days prior to the public meeting on the NRC's 
Public Meeting Schedule Web site at https://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/public-meetings/index.cfm. The NRC staff will make a final 
determination regarding issuance of the RIS after it considers any 
public comments received in response to this request.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of May 2016.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
