SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On January 14, 2020 (85 FR 2152), the
NRC published for public comment a
proposed revision of BTP 7–19,
‘‘Guidance for Evaluation of Potential
Common Cause Failure Due to Latent
Software Defects in Digital
Instrumentation and Control Systems’’
of NUREG–0800, ‘‘Standard Review
Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis
Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR
Edition.’’ The public comment period
closed on March 16, 2020. Eight public
comments were received regarding draft
Revision 8 of BTP 7–19. The final
Revision 8 to NUREG–0800, BTP 7–19,
‘‘Guidance for Evaluation of Defense in
Depth and Diversity to Address
Common-Cause Failure due to Latent
Design Defects in Digital Safety
Systems’’ is available in ADAMS under
Accession No. ML20339A647. A
summary of the public comments and
the NRC staff’s disposition of the
comments are available in ADAMS
Accession No. ML20126G430. The
redline/strikeout comparison between
the draft version of BTP 7–19 and this
final version, including revisions made
in response to public comments and to
improve organization, is shown in
ML20364A212.
II. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and
Issue Finality
Chapter 7 of the SRP provides
guidance to the staff for reviewing
instrumentation and controls
information provided in applications for
licensing actions. Part of Chapter 7, BTP
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
7577
7–19 provides guidance for the
evaluation of diversity and defense-indepth in digital computer-based
instrumentation and control systems.
Issuance of this BTP revision does not
constitute backfitting as defined in
section 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR), (the
backfit rule), and as described in
Management Directive (MD) 8.4,
‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward
Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information
Requests;’’ constitute forward fitting as
that term is defined and described in
MD 8.4; or affect issue finality of any
approval issued under 10 CFR part 52,
‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals
for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ The NRC’s
position is based upon the following
considerations.
First, the SRP provides guidance to
the NRC staff on how to review an
application for NRC regulatory approval
in the form of licensing. Changes in
guidance intended for use by only the
staff are not matters that constitute
backfitting as that term is defined in 10
CFR 50.109(a)(1); constitute forward
fitting as that term is defined and
described in MD 8.4; or affect issue
finality of any approval issued under 10
CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and
Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’
Second, the NRC staff does not intend
to use the guidance in this BTP SRP
section to support NRC staff actions in
a manner that would constitute
backfitting or forward fitting. If, in the
future, the NRC seeks to impose a
position in this SRP section in a manner
that constitutes backfitting or forward
fitting or affects the issue finality for a
10 CFR part 52 approval, then the NRC
will address the backfitting provision in
10 CFR 50.109, the forward fitting
provision of MD 8.4, or the applicable
issue finality provision in 10 CFR part
52, respectively.
III. Congressional Review Act
This action is not a rule as defined in
the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C.
801–808). OMB’s clearance of BTP 7–19
as a non-major rule is shown in ADAMS
Accession No. ML21025A022.
Dated: January 26, 2021.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Dennis C. Morey,
Chief, Licensing Project Branch, Division of
Operating Reactors, Office of Nuclear Reactor
Regulation.
