SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The NRC is issuing a new 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.
II. Additional Information
RG 1.237 was issued with a temporary
identification of draft regulatory guide
(DG)–1321. The NRC published a notice
of the availability of DG–1321 in the
Federal Register on May 5, 2020 (85 FR
26725) for a 60-day public comment
period. The public comment period
closed on July 6, 2020. Public comments
on DG–1321 and the staff responses to
the public comments are available in
ADAMS under Accession No.
ML20349A336.
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, Forward Fitting, and
Issue Finality
This RG provides guidance on
implementation of a process for making
changes to the design of structures,
systems, and components of a facility
being constructed under a combined
license. Issuance of this RG, would not
constitute backfitting as defined in
section 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:04 Feb 24, 2021
Jkt 253001
Federal Regulations (10 CFR),
‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC
Management Directive 8.4,
‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward
Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information
Requests’’; affect issue finality of any
approval issued under 10 CFR part 52,
‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals
for Nuclear Power Plants’’; or constitute
forward fitting as defined in MD 8.4,
because, as explained in this RG,
licensees are not required to comply
with the positions set forth in this RG.
If, in the future, the NRC were to impose
a position in this RG in a manner that
would constitute backfitting or forward
fitting or affect the issue finality for a
part 52 approval, then the NRC would
address the backfitting provision in 10
CFR 50.109, the forward fitting
provision of MD 8.4, or the applicable
issue finality provision in part 52,
respectively.

Changes to Subsequent License
Renewal Guidance Documents
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Interim staff guidance; issuance.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing three
Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) documents
that update aging management criteria
for mechanical, structural, and electrical
structures and components in the NRC’s
subsequent license renewal (SLR)
guidance documents. Specifically, the
ISGs revise guidance contained in
NUREG–2191, ‘‘Generic Aging Lessons
Learned for Subsequent License
Renewal (GALL–SLR) Report,’’ and
NUREG–2192, ‘‘Standard Review Plan
for Review of Subsequent License
Renewal Applications for Nuclear
Power Plants.’’ These ISGs are intended
to facilitate preparation of SLR
applications by clarifying existing
guidance for aging management and
adding new guidance, which also will
facilitate the NRC staff’s review of SLR
applications.
DATES: This guidance is effective on
March 29, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Background
On July 2, 2020 (85 FR 39938) and
August 3, 2020, (85 FR 46735), the staff
requested public comments on the
following draft ISGs:
• Draft SLR–ISG–MECHANICAL–
2020–XX; Updated Aging Management
Criteria for Mechanical Portions of
Subsequent License Renewal Guidance
• Draft SLR–ISG–STRUCTURES–
2020–XX; Updated Aging Management
Criteria for Structures Portions of
Subsequent License Renewal Guidance
• Draft SLR–ISG–ELECTRICAL–
2020–XX; Updated Aging Management
Criteria for Electrical Portions of

• Errata for Draft SLR–ISG–
MECHANICAL–2020–XX; Updated
Aging Management Criteria for
Mechanical Portions of Subsequent
License Renewal Guidance
The NRC received comments from the
Nuclear Energy Institute by letter dated
August 10, 2020 (ADAMS Accession
No. ML20224A465). No other comments
were submitted. The NRC staff
considered those comments in
developing the final versions of the
ISGs. The staff’s responses to the
comments are provided in each of the
final ISGs in appendices titled
‘‘Disposition of Public Comments.’’
These ISGs update NUREG–2191,
‘‘Generic Aging Lessons Learned for
Subsequent License Renewal (GALL–
SLR) Report,’’ and NUREG–2192,
‘‘Standard Review Plan for Review of
Subsequent License Renewal
Applications for Nuclear Power Plants.’’
NUREG–2191 and NUREG–2192 were
published in July 2017, and a full
review and revision to these documents
is not scheduled to be performed for
several years. The staff has reviewed the
first three subsequent license renewal
applications (SLRAs) that were based on
the previously noted guidance
documents. During these reviews, the
staff and applicants identified
improvements to the guidance that
would assist in preparing and reviewing
future SLRAs more effectively and
efficiently. These ISGs provide interim
updates to NUREG–2191 and NUREG–
2192 to implement these improvements.
These ISGs are not intended for
standalone use. They provide revisions
to NUREG–2191 and NUREG–2192
sections and tables that supersede the
content in the NUREGs and are
intended to be used within the context
of the NUREGs. The revisions captured
in these ISGs include:
• Updates to recommended aging
management programs;
• changes to aging management
review items in NUREG–2191 tables and
corresponding summary tables in
NUREG–2192;
• new aging management review
items in NUREG–2191 tables and
corresponding summary tables in
NUREG–2192;
• changes to ‘‘further evaluation’’
guidance sections in NUREG–2192;
• updates to references listed in
affected NUREG–2191 sections; and
• editorial corrections to relevant
sections.

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and
Issue Finality
These ISGs intend to revise guidance
for the NRC staff reviewing SLRAs and
for prospective applicants in preparing
SLRAs. Issuance of these ISGs does not
constitute a backfit as defined in section
50.109(a)(1) of title 10 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and is not
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:04 Feb 24, 2021
Jkt 253001
otherwise inconsistent with the issue
finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. As
discussed in the ‘‘Backfitting’’ sections
of the final ISGs, the ISG positions do
not constitute backfitting inasmuch as
the ISGs are guidance directed to the
NRC staff with respect to its regulatory
responsibilities and to applicants who
choose to follow the guidance.

of either the backfit rule or any issue
finality provisions under 10 CFR part
52. The NRC staff has no intention to
impose the ISG positions on existing
nuclear power plant licensees either
now or in the future (absent a voluntary
request for a change from the licensee).

documents. Specifically, the ISGs revise guidance contained in NUREG-
2191, ``Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent License Renewal
(GALL-SLR) Report,'' and NUREG-2192, ``Standard Review Plan for Review
of Subsequent License Renewal Applications for Nuclear Power Plants.''
These ISGs are intended to facilitate preparation of SLR applications
by clarifying existing guidance for aging management and adding new
guidance, which also will facilitate the NRC staff's review of SLR
applications.
DATES: This guidance is effective on March 29, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On July 2, 2020 (85 FR 39938) and August 3, 2020, (85 FR 46735),
the staff requested public comments on the following draft ISGs:
Draft SLR-ISG-MECHANICAL-2020-XX; Updated Aging Management
Criteria for Mechanical Portions of Subsequent License Renewal Guidance
Draft SLR-ISG-STRUCTURES-2020-XX; Updated Aging Management
Criteria for Structures Portions of Subsequent License Renewal Guidance

Criteria for Electrical Portions of Subsequent License Renewal Guidance
[[Page 11565]]
Errata for Draft SLR-ISG-MECHANICAL-2020-XX; Updated Aging
Management Criteria for Mechanical Portions of Subsequent License
Renewal Guidance
The NRC received comments from the Nuclear Energy Institute by
letter dated August 10, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20224A465). No
other comments were submitted. The NRC staff considered those comments
in developing the final versions of the ISGs. The staff's responses to
the comments are provided in each of the final ISGs in appendices
titled ``Disposition of Public Comments.''
These ISGs update NUREG-2191, ``Generic Aging Lessons Learned for
Subsequent License Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report,'' and NUREG-2192,
``Standard Review Plan for Review of Subsequent License Renewal
Applications for Nuclear Power Plants.'' NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192 were
published in July 2017, and a full review and revision to these
documents is not scheduled to be performed for several years. The staff
has reviewed the first three subsequent license renewal applications
(SLRAs) that were based on the previously noted guidance documents.
During these reviews, the staff and applicants identified improvements
to the guidance that would assist in preparing and reviewing future
SLRAs more effectively and efficiently. These ISGs provide interim
updates to NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192 to implement these improvements.
These ISGs are not intended for standalone use. They provide
revisions to NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192 sections and tables that
supersede the content in the NUREGs and are intended to be used within
the context of the NUREGs. The revisions captured in these ISGs
include:
Updates to recommended aging management programs;
changes to aging management review items in NUREG-2191
tables and corresponding summary tables in NUREG-2192;
new aging management review items in NUREG-2191 tables and
corresponding summary tables in NUREG-2192;
changes to ``further evaluation'' guidance sections in
NUREG-2192;
updates to references listed in affected NUREG-2191
sections; and
editorial corrections to relevant sections.

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and Issue Finality
These ISGs intend to revise guidance for the NRC staff reviewing
SLRAs and for prospective applicants in preparing SLRAs. Issuance of
these ISGs does not constitute a backfit as defined in section
50.109(a)(1) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
and is not otherwise inconsistent with the issue finality provisions in
10 CFR part 52. As discussed in the ``Backfitting'' sections of the
final ISGs, the ISG positions do not constitute backfitting inasmuch as
the ISGs are guidance directed to the NRC staff with respect to its
regulatory responsibilities and to applicants who choose to follow the
guidance. Applicants and potential applicants are not, with certain
exceptions, the subject of either the backfit rule or any issue
finality provisions under 10 CFR part 52. The NRC staff has no
intention to impose the ISG positions on existing nuclear power plant
licensees either now or in the future (absent a voluntary request for a
change from the licensee).

IV. Congressional Review Act
These ISGs are rules as defined in the Congressional Review Act (5
U.S.C. 801-808). However, the Office of Management and Budget has not
found them to be major rules as defined in the Congressional Review
Act.
Dated: February 22, 2021.

Deputy Director, Division of New and Renewed Licenses, Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
