Both are staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555–0001. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Discussion The NRC is issuing a revision to an existing 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, 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 1 of RG 1.207 was issued with a temporary identification of Draft Regulatory Guide, DG–1309. This RG describes methods and procedures that the NRC staff considers acceptable for use in determining the acceptable fatigue lives of components evaluated by a cumulative usage factor calculation in accordance with the fatigue design provisions in Section III, ‘‘Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components,’’ of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers’ Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to account for the effects of light-water reactor water environments. II. Additional Information The NRC published a notice of the availability of DG–1309 in the Federal Register on November 24, 2014 (79 FR 69884), for a 60-day public comment PO 00000 Frm 00116 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 period. The public comment period closed on January 24, 2015. Public comments on DG–1309 and the NRC staff’s responses to the public comments are available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML16315A127. 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 describes methods and procedures that the NRC staff considers acceptable for use in applications for license renewal and subsequent license renewal in determining the acceptable fatigue lives of components evaluated by a cumulative usage factor calculation in accordance with the fatigue design provisions in Section III, ‘‘Rules for Construction of Nuclear Power Plant Components,’’ of the ASME Code. This RG also supports reviews of applications for new nuclear reactor construction permits or operating licenses under part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), design certifications under 10 CFR part 52, and combined licenses under 10 CFR part 52, which do not cite a standard design, in addition to renewed operating licenses under 10 CFR part 54. This RG may also be used by existing holders of combined licenses and operating licenses in accordance with their existing licensing basis and applicable regulatory requirements. This RG does not constitute backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 (the Backfit Rule) and is not otherwise inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. Applicants and potential applicants are not, with certain exceptions, protected by either the Backfit Rule or any issue finality provisions under 10 CFR part 52. 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 a combined license applicant references a part 52 license (i.e., an early site permit or a manufacturing license) and/or part 52 regulatory approval (i.e., a design certification rule or design approval). The NRC staff does not, at this time, intend to impose the positions represented in the RG in a manner that is inconsistent with any issue finality E:\FR\FM\05JNN1.SGM 05JNN1
