NUREG: Artificial Intelligence Strategic Plan: Fiscal Years 2023-2027, 34899-34900 [2023-11245]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 31, 2023 / Notices administers the medical records of dependents of service personnel. When veterans, dependents, and other authorized individuals request information from or copies of documents in military personnel, military medical, and dependent medical records, they must provide on forms or in letters certain information about the veteran and the nature of the request. A major fire at the NPRC on July 12, 1973, destroyed numerous military records. If individuals’ requests involve records or information from records that may have been lost in the fire, requesters may be asked to complete NA Form 13075, Questionnaire about Military Service, or NA Form 13055, Request for Information Needed to Reconstruct Medical Data, so that NPRC staff can search alternative sources to reconstruct the requested information. Requesters who ask for medical records of dependents of service personnel and hospitalization records of military personnel are asked to complete NA Form 13042, Request for Information Needed to Locate Medical Records, so that NPRC staff can locate the desired records. Certain types of information contained in military personnel and medical records are restricted from disclosure unless the veteran provides a more specific release authorization than is normally required. Veterans are asked to complete NA Form 13036, Authorization for Release of Military Medical Patient Records, to authorize release to a third party of a restricted type of information found in the desired record. For those who have already made a request, and want to check the status, they can use NA Form 13177, Check the Status of a Clinical & Medical Treatment Records Request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion

    The purpose of NUREG-2261, ``Artificial Intelligence Strategic 
Plan: Fiscal Years 2023-2027,'' is to ensure the NRC's readiness to 
review and evaluate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in NRC-
regulated activities. NUREG-2261, ``Artificial Intelligence Strategic 
Plan: Fiscal Years 2023-2027,'' is available in ADAMS under Accession 
No. ML23132A305. To better understand activities and plans for AI 
across the nuclear industry, the staff hosted the 2021 Data Science and 
AI Regulatory Applications Public Workshops and issued a Federal 
Register notice on July 5, 2022, to solicit feedback on the draft AI 
Strategic Plan (87 FR 39874). Information about and presentations from 
the workshops can be found on the NRC public website at https://www.nrc.gov/public-involve/conference-symposia/data-science-ai-reg-workshops.html. These activities informed the development of the AI 
Strategic Plan. The NRC anticipates that the nuclear industry may begin 
deploying AI in NRC-regulated activities in the near future.
    The AI Strategic Plan considers machine learning, natural language 
processing, and deep learning to be subsets of AI. In practice, the 
term AI describes various activities that range from data collection 
and analyses to support human decisionmaking to fully autonomous 
systems. The AI Strategic Plan adds to regulatory certainty by 
augmenting NRC readiness to review the use of AI in NRC-regulated 
activities.
    The AI Strategic Plan establishes five goals to ensure the agency's 
readiness to review the use of AI in NRC-regulated activities. The five 
strategic goals are: (1) ensure NRC readiness for regulatory decision-
making, (2) establish an organizational framework to review AI 
applications, (3) strengthen and expand AI partnerships, (4) cultivate 
an AI proficient workforce, and (5) pursue use cases to build an AI 
foundation across the NRC.

II. Public Comment Analysis

    The NRC draft AI Strategic Plan for FY 2023-2027 was published in 
the Federal Register for public comment on July 5, 2022 (87 FR 39874) 
and the comment period closed on August 19, 2022. The NRC staff held a 
transcribed comment-gathering public meeting on August 3, 2022, to 
receive additional comments on the draft AI Strategic Plan. In addition 
to the comments received during the public meeting, the NRC received 
seven comment submissions in response to the Federal Register notice. 
In total, the NRC staff identified and responded to 105 individual 
comments received from individual members of the public and various 
organizations. The NRC responses to these comments are available in
