Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 207 / Wednesday, October 26, 2016 / Notices
of issuance of the final regulatory guide,
as well as future applications after the
issuance of the regulatory guide. Such
action does not constitute backfitting as
defined in 10 CFR 70.76, 72.62, or
76.76, inasmuch as such applicants or
potential applicants are not within the
scope of entities protected by these
backfit provisions. This RG provides
guidance on recordkeeping and
reporting requirements with respect to
material control and accounting, as set
forth in 10 CFR part 74. The regulatory
position stated in this guidance
demonstrates a method that the NRC
staff finds acceptable for an applicant or
licensee to meet the requirements of the
underlying NRC regulations. This
guidance imposes no new requirements
on licensees, and information collection
and reporting requirements with respect
to material control and accounting are
not included within the scope of the
NRC’s backfitting protections.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day
of October, 2016.
