Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 45 / Tuesday, March 8, 2022 / Notices 13019 ATTACHMENT 1—GENERAL TARGET SCHEDULE FOR PROCESSING AND RESOLVING REQUESTS FOR ACCESS TO SENSITIVE UNCLASSIFIED NON-SAFEGUARDS INFORMATION IN THIS PROCEEDING—Continued Day Event/activity 10 ...................... Deadline for submitting requests for access to Sensitive Unclassified Non-Safeguards Information (SUNSI) with information: Supporting the standing of a potential party identified by name and address; describing the need for the information in order for the potential party to participate meaningfully in an adjudicatory proceeding. Deadline for submitting petition for intervention containing: (i) Demonstration of standing; and (ii) all contentions whose formulation does not require access to SUNSI (+25 Answers to petition for intervention; +7 petitioner/requestor reply). U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff informs the requestor of the staff’s determination whether the request for access provides a reasonable basis to believe standing can be established and shows need for SUNSI. (NRC staff also informs any party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding would be harmed by the release of the information.) If NRC staff makes the finding of need for SUNSI and likelihood of standing, NRC staff begins document processing (preparation of redactions or review of redacted documents). If NRC staff finds no ‘‘need’’ or no likelihood of standing, the deadline for petitioner/requestor to file a motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s denial of access; NRC staff files copy of access determination with the presiding officer (or Chief Administrative Judge or other designated officer, as appropriate). If NRC staff finds ‘‘need’’ for SUNSI, the deadline for any party to the proceeding whose interest independent of the proceeding would be harmed by the release of the information to file a motion seeking a ruling to reverse the NRC staff’s grant of access. Deadline for NRC staff reply to motions to reverse NRC staff determination(s). (Receipt +30) If NRC staff finds standing and need for SUNSI, deadline for NRC staff to complete information processing and file motion for Protective Order and draft Non-Disclosure Affidavit. Deadline for applicant/licensee to file Non-Disclosure Agreement for SUNSI. If access granted: Issuance of presiding officer or other designated officer decision on motion for protective order for access to sensitive information (including schedule for providing access and submission of contentions) or decision reversing a final adverse determination by the NRC staff. Deadline for filing executed Non-Disclosure Affidavits. Access provided to SUNSI consistent with decision issuing the protective order. Deadline for submission of contentions whose development depends upon access to SUNSI. However, if more than 25 days remain between the petitioner’s receipt of (or access to) the information and the deadline for filing all other contentions (as established in the notice of opportunity to request a hearing and petition for leave to intervene), the petitioner may file its SUNSI contentions by that later deadline. (Contention receipt +25) Answers to contentions whose development depends upon access to SUNSI. (Answer receipt +7) Petitioner/Intervenor reply to answers.

II. Discussion

    On February 8, 2022, the NRC published a document in the Federal 
Register (87 FR 7209) soliciting comments on DG-1385, ``Water Sources 
for Long-Term Cooling Following a Loss-of-Coolant Accident.'' This DG 
is proposed Revision 5 to Regulatory Guide 1.82, which describes an 
approach that may be used to determine quality standards acceptable to 
the NRC staff, to meet the regulatory requirements for sumps and 
suppression pools that provide water sources for emergency core 
cooling, containment heat removal, or containment atmosphere cleanup 
systems. It also provides guidelines for evaluating the adequacy and 
the availability of the sump or suppression pool for long-term 
recirculation cooling following a loss-of-coolant-accident, and the use 
of containment accident pressure in determining the net positive 
suction head for the emergency core cooling and containment heat 
removal pumps. This proposed revision guidance applies to both the 
pressurized-water reactor and boiling-water reactor types of light-
water reactors. The comment period was originally scheduled to close on 
March 10, 2022. Upon the request of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the 
NRC has decided to extend the public comment period on this document 
until April 8, 2022, to allow more time for members of the public to 
submit their comments.
