II. Discussion
The NRC is an independent agency
established by the Energy
Reorganization Act of 1974 that began
operations in 1975 as a successor to the
licensing and regulatory activities of the
Atomic Energy Commission. The NRC’s
mission is to license and regulate the
Nation’s civilian use of radioactive
materials to provide reasonable
assurance of adequate protection of
public health and safety and to promote
the common defense and security and to
protect the environment. In accordance
with the Government Performance and
Results (GPRA) Modernization Act of
2010, the NRC is required to submit its
Strategic Plan to Congress the year
following the start of a presidential
term.
The Strategic Plan describes how the
agency intends to achieve its two
strategic goals: (1) Ensure the safe use of
radioactive materials, and (2) ensure the
secure use of radioactive materials. The
plan provides an overview of the NRC’s
responsibilities and lays out the
objectives, strategies, and key activities
that will be used to achieve the agency’s
strategic goals. Moreover, with
enactment of the Foundations for
Evidence-Based Policymaking Act of
2018 (‘‘Evidence Act’’) (5 U.S.C. 312),
agency strategic plans are to be
supported by the inclusion of a Learning
Agenda (i.e., Evidence-Building Plan),
PO 00000
Frm 00065
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
which describes the activities agencies
will undertake to answer important
short-and-long term strategic and
operational questions important to
achieving the agency’s mission. The
Evidence Act also requires agencies to
conduct and include in their strategic
plan’s a capacity assessment that will
help agencies to assess their ability and
infrastructure to carry out evidence
building activities like foundational fact
finding, performance measurement,
policy analysis, and program evaluation,
and identifying the data needed to
answer those questions.
During the last few years, the NRC has
been transforming in order to realize its
vision of becoming a modern, riskinformed regulator and be in the best
position to continue meeting its
important safety and security mission
well into the future. Transformation
activities will help the NRC keep pace
with the highly dynamic,
interconnected environment in which it
operates, and be prepared to regulate an
industry that is innovative and pursuing
technologies.
III. Specific Request for Comment
The NRC is interested in obtaining
input from stakeholders, including
professional organizations and
interested individuals. The focus of this
request is to gather information that will
permit the NRC staff to develop the FYs
2022–2026 Strategic Plan framework.
The NRC does not intend to provide
any responses to comments received
during the public meeting. The public
meeting will be noticed on the NRC’s
public meeting website at least 10
calendar days before the meeting.
Members of the public should monitor
the NRC’s public meeting website at
https://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/
public-meetings/index.cfm.
The NRC will also post the meeting
notice on the Federal Rulemaking
website at https://www.regulations.gov
under Docket ID NRC–2020–0194.
IV. Requested Information and
Comments
The NRC is asking the public to
comment on potential changes to the
NRC’s goals, objectives, strategies
contributing activities as described in
the current FYs 2018–2022 Strategic
Plan, and the requirements of the
Evidence Act as discussed in Section II
of this document. The NRC welcomes
comments from the public on any areas
that they believe are relevant to these
topics, and is particularly interested in
receiving input on the following
questions:
1. Do you have any specific
recommendations or improvements to
E:\FR\FM\11SEN1.SGM
11SEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 177 / Friday, September 11, 2020 / Notices
consider in the development of the FYs
2022–2026 Strategic Plan?
2. What goals, objectives, or strategies
within the NRC’s current strategic plan
should be added, enhanced, or modified
in the FYs 2022–2026 Strategic Plan?
3. What contributing activities should
be considered to support the safety and
security goals, strategies, and objectives?
4. What external factors, opportunities
and challenges should be considered
during the development of the FYs
2022–2026 Strategic Plan?
5. As part of the Evidence Act, the
NRC will include a learning agenda in
the FYs 2022–2026 Strategic Plan. A
learning agenda is a systematic plan for
identifying and addressing policy
questions relevant to the NRC’s
programs, policies, operations, and
regulations. The learning agenda will
describe the plan for building evidence
to address agency priority questions.
What priority question(s) (short- or longterm) do you believe the NRC should be
asking within the learning agenda?
6. What improvements can the NRC
make in regard to evidence building
(e.g., data, analysis, evaluations) to
inform strategy, policymaking, program
decisions, and regulations?
V. Public Meeting Information
The NRC staff will hold a public
webinar on September 22, 2020, to
receive comments on the update of the
56277
NRC’s FYs 2022–2026 Strategic Plan.
Additionally, the NRC will discuss the
Agency’s transformation activities for
public input and comment on these
activities and continue to seek the views
of stakeholders in identifying
opportunities to improve the agency’s
processes, procedures, and products.
The webinar will be held online and
will offer a telephone line for members
of the public to submit comments. A
court reporter will be recording all
comments received during the webinar.
