Download as PDF asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 47444 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 140 / Thursday, July 21, 2016 / Notices security, and environmental protection mission, without imposing unnecessary regulatory burden. This requires the NRC to consider the effects of a more dynamic domestic environment and a globalized non-LWR industry. Furthermore, the NRC recognizes the benefits of having a flexible regulatory framework, allowing potential applicants to select a best-fit path towards regulatory reviews and decisions. Examples of these flexibilities are described in the draft document. The vision and strategy described in the draft document, once executed, will achieve the goal of assuring the NRC’s readiness to effectively and efficiently review and regulate non-LWRs, while still protecting public health and safety, promoting the common defense and security, and protecting the environment. The strategy has three strategic objectives: Enhancing technical readiness, optimizing regulatory readiness, and optimizing communication. The steps needed to reach the readiness target are described in a series of supporting strategies and contributing activities, to be executed during near-term, mid-term, and longterm timeframes. Example schedules that help inform the vision and strategy implementation with potential nonLWR development, application, construction, and operation timeframes are also discussed in the draft document. The NRC’s approach under this nonLWR vision and strategy consists of two phases. Phase 1 is the conceptual planning phase used to lay out the vision and strategy, gather public feedback, and finalize the NRC’s approach. Phase 2 includes detailed internal work planning efforts and task execution. Both phases began in 2016. Phase 1 is expected to be completed in 2016, and Phase 2 has a target completion date of not later than 2025. The NRC’s principles of good regulation—independence, openness, efficiency, clarity, and reliability—are embodied in this vision and strategy. While the NRC does not promote any particular reactor technology, its responsibilities as a regulator include working effectively with all stakeholders, clearly communicating its requirements, and providing regulatory information and feedback in a timely manner. Achieving this non-LWR readiness goal should also provide significant regulatory certainty to the non-LWR industry, potential applicants, and other stakeholders. The NRC encourages all interested parties to comment on the draft nonLWR vision and strategy document, particularly on the near-term non-LWR VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:15 Jul 20, 2016 Jkt 238001 regulatory review options. Stakeholder feedback will be valuable in helping the NRC develop a final non-LWR vision and strategy that has the benefit of considering the many views of the public and the regulated industry. The NRC will consider the comments submitted and may use them, as appropriate, in the preparation of the final document; however, the NRC does not anticipate responding to individual comments. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of July 2016. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
