II. Background
The NRC staff has developed draft RIS
2016–xx, ‘‘Disposition of Information
Related to the Time Period that SafetyRelated 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 NRCapproved 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
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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/publicinvolve/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.
