II. Background
Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently
submitted a request for renewal of an
existing collection of information to
OMB for review entitled, ‘‘Cooperation
with States at Commercial Nuclear
Power Plants and Other Nuclear
Production and Utilization Facilities,
Policy Statement.’’ The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and
that a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
The NRC published a Federal
Register notice with a 60-day comment

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices
period on this information collection on
September 26, 2018, 83 FR 48658.
1. The title of the information
collection: Cooperation with States at
Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and
Other Nuclear Production and
Utilization Facilities, Policy Statement.
2. OMB approval number: 3150–0163.
3. Type of submission: Revision.
4. The form number if applicable: Not
applicable.
5. How often the collection is required
or requested: On occasion, when a State
or federally recognized Indian Tribe
wishes to observe NRC inspections or
perform inspections for the NRC or
when a State or federally recognized
Indian Tribe wishes to negotiate an
agreement to observe or perform
inspections. States with an instrument
of cooperation or a State Resident
Engineer have both regular reporting
and occasion-specific reporting.
6. Who will be required or asked to
respond: States and federally recognized
Tribes interested in observing or
performing inspections.
7. The estimated number of annual
responses: 209.
8. The estimated number of annual
respondents: 33.
9. An estimate of the total number of
hours needed annually to comply with
the information collection requirement
or request: 1,309 hours.
10. Abstract: States and federally
recognized Indian Tribes are involved
and interested in monitoring the safety
status of nuclear power plants and other
nuclear production and utilization
facilities. This involvement is, in part,
in response to the States’ and Tribes’
public health and safety responsibilities
and, in part, in response to their
citizens’ desire to become more
knowledgeable about the safety of
nuclear power plants and other nuclear
production and utilization facilities.
States and Tribes have identified NRC
inspections as one possible source of
knowledge for their personnel regarding
NRC licensee activities, and the NRC,
through the policy statement,
‘‘Cooperation with States at Commercial
Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear
Production or Utilization Facilities’’ (57
FR 6462; February 25, 1992), has been
amenable to accommodating States’ and
Tribes’ needs in this regard. The NRC
uses the information collected under
this information collection requirement
to allow States and federally recognized
Indian Tribes to participate in or
observe inspections at NRC-licensed
facilities. The types of information
collected include written requests
identifying specific inspections States
and Tribes wish to observe;
identification-related information

AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing Interim
Staff Guidance (ISG) Digital
Instrumentation and Controls (DI&C)—
ISG–06, Revision 2, ‘‘Licensing
Process.’’ This ISG defines the licensing
process used to support the review of
license amendment requests (LARs)
associated with safety-related D&IC
equipment modifications in operating
plants and in new plants once they
become operational. This ISG provides
guidance for activities performed before
a LAR is submitted and for activities
performed during LAR review. The NRC
staff uses the process described in this
ISG to evaluate compliance with NRC
regulations.
SUMMARY:
This guidance is available on
January 31, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Please refer to Docket ID
NRC–2018–0056 when contacting the
NRC about the availability of
information regarding this document.
You may obtain publicly-available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NRC published a notice of the
availability of ISG–06, Rev. 2, in the
Federal Register (83 FR 38731) on
August 7, 2018, for a 30-day public
comment period. The public comment
period closed on September 6, 2018.
Public comments on ISG–06, Rev. 2, and
the staff responses to the public
comments are available under ADAMS
Accession No. ML18290A623.
This ISG provides guidance for the
NRC staff’s review of LARs supporting
installation of Digital I&C equipment in
accordance with licensing processes
defined in the NRC’s office instruction
LIC–101, ‘‘License Amendment Review
Procedures.’’ This ISG identifies
information the NRC staff should review
for Digital I&C equipment. This ISG
provides guidance on when that
information should be reviewed.
This ISG is designed to be used with
the NRC’s topical report review and
approval process defined in the NRC’s
Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
office instruction LIC–500, ‘‘Topical
Report Process.’’ Where a licensee
references an NRC-approved topical
report, the NRC staff should be able to,
where appropriate, limit its review to
assessing whether the application of the
Digital I&C modification falls within the
envelope of the topical report approval.
This ISG was developed based upon,
and is designed to work in concert with,
established guidance. As a result, this
ISG references other guidance
documents for review criteria.
