Both are staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 0001. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion The NRC is issuing a new guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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, 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. II. Additional Information The NRC published a notice of the availability of DG–1330 in the Federal Register on February 3, 2017, Volume 82, No. 22, page 9246, for a 60-day public comment period. The public comment period closed on April 4, 2017. DG–1330 and public comments on DG–1330, along with the staff responses to the public comments are available under ADAMS Accession Nos. ML16301A307 and ML17325A616, respectively. 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 RG 1.232 provides guidance for establishing the PDC for non-light water reactor nuclear power plants. The purpose of RG 1.232 is to provide regulatory guidance to assist the NRC staff and future applicants. RGs are not regulatory requirements. Applications for a construction permit, design certification, combined license, standard design approval, or manufacturing license are required by section 50.34(a)(3) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 10 CFR 52.47(a)(3)(i), 10 CFR 52.79(a)(4)(i), 10 CFR 52.137(a)(3)(i), and 10 CFR 52.157(a), respectively, to include the PDC for the facility in their applications. The non-light water reactor design criteria in RG 1.232 provides guidance intended to support the development of the PDC. Issuance of this RG does not constitute backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (referred to as the Backfit Rule) and is not otherwise 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 guidance on any current licensees. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of April 2018.
