Notice of Intent To Request Public Comments
As part of its systematic review of all Federal Trade Commission rules and guides, the Commission gives notice that, during 2009, it intends to request public comments on the rules and guide listed below (``Rules''). The Commission will request comments on, among other things, the economic impact of, and the continuing need for, the Rules; possible conflict between the Rules and state, local, or other federal laws or regulations; and the effect on the Rules of any technological, economic, or other industry changes. No Commission determination on the need for, or the substance of, the Rules should be inferred from the notice of intent to publish requests for comments. In addition, the Commission announces a revised 10-year regulatory review schedule.
Proposed Standard Review Plan Section 9.5.1.2 on Risk-Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program
The NRC is requesting public comment on NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,'' Section 9.5.1.2 on staff guidance on Risk-Informed (RI), Performance-Based (PB) Fire Protection Program (FPP) for Operating Nuclear Power Plants (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML090050052). This guidance is being issued as an alternate to the existing guidance currently provided under Standard Review Plan (SRP) section 9.5.1. This is stand alone guidance and is provided for the benefit of licensees of existing plants who choose to adopt RI/PB FPP that meets the requirements of National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 805. The NRC staff issues notices to facilitate timely implementation of the current staff guidance and to facilitate activities associated with the review of amendment applications for transitioning to RI/PB FPPs. The NRC staff will also incorporate the approved SRP section 9.5.1.2 into the next revisions of RG 1.205 and any related guidance documents. This proposed guidance is applicable only to currently operating nuclear reactor licensees. Because of the introduction of the now proposed SRP section 9.5.1.2, the current SRP section 9.5.1 will be renumbered to read 9.5.1.1. This SRP is not endorsing NFPA 805, since that standard is already a part of the 10 CFR 50.48(c) rule. In addition, this SRP does not directly endorse the guidance document issued by the industry (NEI 04-02, ``Guidance for Implementing a Risk- Informed, Performance-Based Fire Protection Program under 10 CFR 50.48(c),'' Rev. 2) for plants transitioning to an NFPA 805 FPP. RG 1.205 provides the staff's positions with respect to NEI 04-02.
