II. Discussion
The NRC is issuing this draft
regulatory guide on FOCD, to provide
NRC staff’s regulatory position regarding
methods acceptable to the staff for
determining whether an applicant for a
nuclear facility license issued under
sections 103.d., ‘‘Commercial Licenses,’’
or 104.d., ‘‘Medical Therapy and
Research and Development,’’ of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(AEA or Act), is owned, controlled, or
dominated by an alien, a foreign
corporation, or a foreign government
(individually or collectively, a foreign
entity). Pursuant to Commission
direction in SRM–SECY–14–0089, this
draft guidance is complementary to the
staff’s draft revision of the standard
review plan (SRP) on FOCD.
Specifically, the revision of the SRP
establishes guidance on graded negation
action plan (NAP) criteria; provides for
the consideration of site-specific
criteria, as necessary; allows for the use
of license conditions to incorporate
NAPs and the staff’s ‘‘totality of facts’’
review approach; and, incorporates
provisions for analyzing foreign
financing. This draft regulatory guide
and the SRP may be used by applicants
or licensees for complying with FOCD
requirements, including guidance on the
subject of foreign financing. This draft
regulatory guide may be used for license
applications for new facilities, to be
licensed under parts 50 and 52 of title
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(10 CFR), applications for the renewal of
facility licenses; or, applications for
approval of direct or indirect transfers of
facility licenses.
The provisions in the AEA for FOCD
and inimicality, and the staff’s reviews
of these areas under NRC regulations,
are derived from the same national
security concerns, but appear in
separate and distinct language in the
AEA. As such, the FOCD determination
is to be made with an orientation toward
the common defense and security. The
FOCD provisions in the AEA and NRC’s
regulations are country-neutral, whereas
the staff’s inimicality review and its
findings directly account for a license
applicant’s country of origin and any
ties or interests that could result in a
determination of inimicality. While
FOCD and inimicality are
complementary, this draft regulatory
guide does not address the means for
determining whether issuance of a
license would be inimical to the
common defense and security or to the
health and safety of the public.

While this draft regulatory guide is
complementary to the draft FOCD SRP,
which is currently issued for public
comment, there are differences between
the two. This draft guidance was
completed after the FOCD SRP was
issued for public comment, therefore
guidance on some topics have been
further refined. Specifically, this draft
regulatory guide includes the
consideration of NPUF applicants and
licensees, as applicable, and also
interagency comments on provisions for
FOCD analysis and negation action plan
development. These topics will be
addressed, as applicable, in the draft
FOCD SRP prior to finalizing for
Commission approval.
III. Backfitting and Issue Finality
This draft regulatory guide describes
acceptable methods for determining
whether an applicant for (or holder of)
a nuclear facility license issued under
sections 103.d., ‘‘Commercial Licenses,’’
or 104.d., ‘‘Medical Therapy and
Research and Development,’’ of the
Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended
(AEA or Act), is owned, controlled, or
dominated by an alien, a foreign
corporation, or a foreign government
(individually or collectively, a foreign
entity). This determination, and any
applicant or licensee actions needed to
demonstrate that the applicant or
licensee is not owned, controlled or
dominated by an alien, a foreign
corporation, or a foreign government, is
not within the purview of the Backfit
Rule, 10 CFR 50.109 or the issue finality
provisions in 10 CFR part 52.
Accordingly, the issuance of this
regulatory guide does not represent
backfitting or a violation of any issue
finality provisions in part 52.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day
of May 2016.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation.

Notice of adoption of the
Seventh Northwest Electric Power and
Conservation Plan.
ACTION:
The Pacific Northwest
Electric Power Planning and
Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 839
et seq.) requires the Council to adopt
and periodically review and revise a
regional power plan, the Northwest
Electric Power and Conservation Plan.
The Council first adopted the power and
conservation plan in 1983, with
significant amendments or complete
revisions adopted in 1986, 1991, 1998,
2004 and 2010. The Council began a
review of the power and conservation
plan in March 2013, and in October
2015 the Council released for public
review and comment the Draft
Northwest Seventh Electric Power and
Conservation Plan. During the comment
period, the Council held public hearings
in each of the four Northwest states, as
required by the Northwest Power Act,
engaged in consultations about the
power and conservation plan with
various governments, entities and
individuals in the region, and accepted
and considered substantial written and
oral comments.
At the Council’s regularly scheduled
public meeting in February 2016 in
Portland, Oregon, the Council formally
adopted the revised power and
conservation plan, called the Seventh
Northwest Electric Power and
Conservation Plan. The revised power
and conservation plan meets the
requirements of the Northwest Power
Act, which specifies the components the
power plan is to have, including an
energy conservation program, a
recommendation for research and
development; a methodology for
determining quantifiable environmental
costs and benefits; a 20-year demand
forecast; a forecast of power resources
that the Bonneville Power
Administration will need to meet its
obligations; and an analysis of reserve
and reserve reliability requirements.
The power and conservation plan also
includes the Council’s Columbia River
Basin Fish and Wildlife Program,
developed pursuant to other procedural
requirements under the Northwest
Power Act. The Council followed the
adoption of the power and conservation
plan with a decision at its regular
monthly meeting in May 2016 in Boise,
Idaho, to approve a Statement of Basis
and Purpose and Response to Comments
to accompany the final plan.
The final power and conservation
plan is available on the Council’s Web
site, at https://www.nwcouncil.org/
