SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 26893 I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a revision to an existing guide in the agency’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public information such as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. Revision 1 of RG 1.69, ‘‘Concrete Radiation Shields and Generic Shield Testing for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ was issued for public comment with a temporary identification as Draft Regulatory Guide (DG)–1187. RG 1.69 describes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the regulations with regard to the design and construction of concrete radiation shields in nuclear power plants. As stated in Title 10, Section 20.1201, ‘‘Occupational Dose Limits for Adults,’’ of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR 20.1201), NRC licensees shall control the occupational dose to individual adults to the limits stated therein. Furthermore, 10 CFR 20.1101(b) provides that licensees shall use, to the extent practicable, procedures and engineering controls based upon sound radiation principles to achieve occupational doses and doses to members of the public that are as low as reasonably achievable. General Design Criterion 1, ‘‘Quality Standards and Records,’’ of Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ to 10 CFR part 50, ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ requires that structures, systems, and components important to safety be designed, fabricated, erected, and tested to quality standards commensurate with the importance of the safety function to be performed. Appendix B, ‘‘Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants,’’ to 10 CFR part 50 requires that measures be established to ensure design control and inspection and test controls. Appendix B also requires that activities affecting quality be accomplished under suitably controlled conditions. Also, RG 1.69 encompasses applicable material previously endorsed in RG 2.1, ‘‘Shield Test Program for the Evaluation of Installed Biological Shielding in Research and Training Reactors.’’ Therefore, RG 2.1 is outdated and it will be withdrawn.

Pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 2.106, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is providing notice of the issuance of License Amendment 88 to Material License No. SNM–124, to Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (the licensee), which authorizes the licensee to process uranium fluoride compounds in the new Commercial Development line of the licensee’s facility in Erwin, Tennessee. The licensee’s request for the proposed license amendment was previously noticed in the Federal Register on December 31, 2007 (72 FR 74352), with a notice of an opportunity to request a hearing. In accordance with 10 CFR part 51, an environmental assessment of this action was completed and a finding of no significant impact was published in the Federal Register on September 2, 2008 (73 FR 51319). This license amendment complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, and the NRC’s rules and regulations as set forth in 10 CFR Chapter 1. Accordingly, this license amendment was issued on May 11, 2009, and is effective immediately. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of May, 2009. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. R.A.

ACTION: Solicitation of public comment. SUMMARY: The NRC staff is soliciting public comment on its Proposed Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) COL/DC–ISG–011 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML090550772). This ISG is to clarify the NRC staff position on finalizing licensing basis information at a point during the licensing review, a so-called freeze-point, and the control of licensing basis information during and following the initial review of applications for design certifications (DCs) or combined licenses (COLs). The NRC staff issues COL/DC–ISGs to facilitate timely implementation of current staff guidance and to facilitate activities associated with review of applications for DCs and COLs by the Office of New Reactors. The NRC staff intends to incorporate the final approved COL/DC–ISG–011 into the next revision of Regulatory Guide 1.206, ‘‘Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ DATES: Comments must be filed no later than 30 days from the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Comments received after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date. ADDRESSES: Written comments may be submitted to Mr. Michael T. Lesar, Chief, Rulemaking and Directives Branch, MS TWB–05–B01M, Division of Administrative Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 20555– 0001.
