Download as PDF sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES 28102 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 117 / Tuesday, June 20, 2017 / Notices The DG–1325 reflects changes based on lessons learned regarding the review of nuclear power plant design certification (DC), early site permit (ESP), and combined license (COL) applications under 10 CFR part 52, since the initial issuance of RG 1.206 in 2007. The scope of the proposed revision has been expanded beyond combined license (COL) applications to more explicitly address the current application process related to applications for DC, ESP, and limited work authorizations and the title has been changed accordingly. It provides more integrated guidance regarding the overall format and content for COL, DC, and ESP applications and additionally reflects the NRC staff’s position that, although the guidance therein is intended for applicability to power reactors with light-water reactor (LWR) technology, the revised RG will be generally applicable to other types of power reactors (i.e., non-LWRs). The DG–1325 also satisfies the two remaining action items from the NRC’s April 2013, Lessons Learned Report (ADAMS Accession No. ML13059A240) by (1) revising RG 1.206 to reflect lessons learned and (2) incorporating DC/COL ISG11, ‘‘Finalizing Licensing Basis Information,’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML092890623) in the revised RG 1.206.’’ This proposed revision also reflects the removal of technical information relative to the 2007 version of RG 1.206. The NRC staff intends that NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,’’ be used by applicants relative to the technical information and level of detail to be included in safety analysis reports for applications for COLs, DCs, and ESPs. The guidance in DG–1325 is divided into two parts: Section C.1 provides guidance for the organization, content, and format of an application under 10 CFR part 52; and Section C.2 contains information and guidance on a number of application regulatory topics related to the preparation, submittal, acceptance, and review of applications. The application regulatory topics include updated guidance that will allow the withdrawal of interim staff guidance. The NRC staff intends to withdraw the following four documents upon issuance of the revised RG 1.206: • DC/COL–ISG–011, ‘‘Interim Staff Guidance Finalizing Licensing Basis Information’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML092890623), • ESP/DC/COL–ISG–015, ‘‘Interim Staff Guidance on Post Combined License Commitments’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML091671355), VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:01 Jun 19, 2017 Jkt 241001 • COL/ESP–ISG–04, ‘‘Interim Staff Guidance on the Definition of Construction and on Limited Work Authorizations’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML082970729), and • DC/COL ISG–08, ‘‘Final Interim Staff Guidance Necessary Content of PlantSpecific Technical Specifications When a Combined License is Issued’’ (ADAMS Accession No. ML083310259). The NRC staff’s periodic review of related guidance in RG 1.70, Revision 3 (ADAMS Accession No. ML14272A331), ‘‘Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants (LWR),’’ in September 2014, recommended the withdrawal of RG 1.70 once information relevant to the licensing of nuclear power plants under 10 CFR part 50 is included in an update to RG 1.206. The additional scope related to construction permits and operating licenses was envisioned for a later update to RG 1.206 and is not included in the current proposed revision. III. Backfitting and Issue Finality Draft regulatory guide DG–1325, if finalized as a new regulatory guide, would provide guidance for applicants regarding the format and content of applications for new ESPs, DCs, and COLs under 10 CFR part 52. Issuance of this DG in final form would not constitute backfitting under 10 CFR part 50 and would not otherwise be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. As discussed in the ‘‘Implementation’’ section of this DG, the NRC has no current intention to impose the DG, if finalized, on current holders of ESPs or COLs or a DC applicant under 10 CFR part 52. The DG, if finalized, could be applied to applications for 10 CFR part 52 ESPs, COLs, and DCs. Such action would not constitute backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit Rule) or be otherwise inconsistent with the applicable issue finality provision in 10 CFR part 52, inasmuch as such applicants are not, with certain exceptions, protected by either the Backfit Rule or any issue finality provisions under 10 CFR part 52. This is because neither the Backfit Rule nor the issue finality provisions under 10 CFR part 52—with certain exclusions discussed below—were intended to apply to every NRC action that substantially changes the expectations of current and future applicants. The exceptions to the general principle are applicable whenever an applicant references a 10 CFR part 52 license (e.g., an early site permit), the NRC regulatory approval (e.g., a design certification rule), or both, with specified issue PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 finality provisions. The staff does not, at this time, intend to impose the positions represented in DG–1325 (if finalized) in a manner that is inconsistent with any issue finality provisions. If, in the future, the staff seeks to impose a position in DG–1325 (if finalized) in a manner that does not provide issue finality as described in the applicable issue finality provision, then the staff must address the criteria for avoiding issue finality as described in the applicable issue finality provision. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 15th day of June, 2017. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Currently, the Exchange offers five different credits for orders that access liquidity on the Exchange. First, the Exchange pays a credit of $0.0016 per share executed for an order that accesses liquidity (excluding orders with Midpoint pegging and excluding orders that receive price improvement and execute against an order with a Non-displayed price) entered by a member that accesses liquidity equal to or exceeding 0.10% of total Consolidated Volume during a month. Second, the Exchange pays a credit of $0.0015 per share executed to an order that accesses liquidity (excluding orders with Midpoint pegging and excluding orders that receive price improvement and execute against an order with a Non-displayed price) entered by a member that accesses liquidity equal to or exceeding 0.05% of total E:\FR\FM\20JNN1.SGM 20JNN1
