SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion

    The NRC is issuing a new guide in the NRC's ``Regulatory Guide'' 
series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the 
public information regarding methods that are acceptable to the NRC 
staff for implementing specific parts of the agency's regulations,

[[Page 15180]]

techniques that the NRC staff uses in evaluating specific issues or 
postulated events, and data that the NRC staff needs in its review of 
applications for permits and licenses.
    Revision 0 of RG 1.234 was issued with a temporary identification 
of Draft Regulatory Guide, DG-1291. This RG describes methods that the 
NRC staff considers acceptable for complying with the provisions of 
part 21 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 
Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.

II. Additional Information

    The NRC published a notice of the availability of DG-1291 in the 
Federal Register on August 4, 2017 (Volume 82 FR page 36457) for a 60-
day public comment period. The public comment period closed on October 
3, 2017. Public comments on DG-1291 and the staff responses to the 
public comments are available under ADAMS under Accession No. 
ML17338A074.

III. Congressional Review Act

    This RG is a rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5 
U.S.C. 801-808). However, the Office of Management and Budget has not 
found it to be a major rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act.

IV. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    This RG approves a method for evaluating and reporting defects 
under 10 CFR part 21. Issuance of this RG would not constitute 
backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit Rule) and would 
not otherwise be inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 
CFR part 52. As discussed in the ``Implementation'' section of this RG, 
the NRC has no current intention to impose this guide, if finalized, on 
holders of current operating licenses or combined licenses.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 3rd day of April, 2018.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
