Nuclear Regulatory Commission March 26, 2009 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The NRC requests public comment on a proposed draft License Renewal Interim Staff Guidance (LR-ISG) Process, Revision 1. This draft incorporates changes to the existing LR-ISG process, dated December 12, 2003, and basic framework for developing and implementing LR-ISGs. The NRC also requests public comment on a proposed revision to NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2007-16. This revision clarifies the role of the LR-ISG process for including ``newly identified'' systems, structures, and components in accordance with Sec. 54.37(b) of Title 10, Part 54, ``Requirements for Renewal of Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants,'' of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 54.37(b)). The proposed revisions to the LR-ISG process and RIS are available in the NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS), under Accession Nos. ML082180346 and ML083500028, respectively.
