[NRC–2023–0088] 
Draft Regulatory Guide: Qualification 
of Safety-Related Actuators in Production and Utilization Facilities 
AGENCY : Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission. 
ACTION : Draft guide; request for 
comment. 
SUMMARY : The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 
Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft regulatory guide (DG), DG–1386, ‘‘Qualification of Safety- Related Actuators in Production and Utilization Facilities.’’ This DG is the proposed Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.73 ‘‘Qualification Tests for Safety-Related Actuators in Nuclear Power Plants.’’ This DG describes an approach that is acceptable to the staff of the NRC to meet regulatory requirements for the environmental qualification of safety related actuators in production and utilization facilities. It endorses, with exceptions, additions, and clarifications, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard (Std.) 382–2019, ‘‘IEEE Standard for Qualification of Safety- Related Actuators for Nuclear Power Generating Stations and Other Nuclear Facilities.’’ 
DATES : Submit comments by June 21, 
2023. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.

II. Additional Information 
The NRC is issuing for public 
comment a DG in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory 
Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the agency’s regulations, to explain techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific issues or postulated events, and to describe information that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. 
The DG, entitled ‘‘Qualification of 
Safety-Related Actuators in Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1386. 
DG–1386 is proposed Revision 2 of 
RG 1.73. The proposed revision

endorses, with exceptions, additions, 
and clarifications the methods described in IEEE Std. 382–2019, as an acceptable process for demonstrating compliance with the applicable NRC regulations for the environmental qualification of safety-related power operated valve actuators in production and utilization facilities. 
The staff is also issuing for public 
comment a draft regulatory analysis 
available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML23055B028. The staff developed a regulatory analysis to assess the value of issuing or revising a regulatory guide as well as alternative courses of action. 
As noted in the Federal Register on 
December 9, 2022 (87 FR 75671), this 
document is being published in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of the Federal Register to comply with publication 
requirements under chapter I of title 1 of the Code Federal Regulations (CFR). 
III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 
Issue Finality 
Issuance of DG–1386, if finalized, 
would not constitute backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC Management Directive (MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests’’; affect issue finality of any approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants’’; or constitute forward fitting as defined in MD 8.4, because, as explained in this DG, licensees would not be required to comply with the positions set forth in this DG. 
IV. Submitting Suggestions for 
Improvement of Regulatory Guides 
A member of the public may, at any 
time, submit suggestions to the NRC for improvement of existing RGs or for the development of new RGs. Suggestions can be submitted on the NRC’s public website at https://www.nrc.gov/reading- rm/doc-collections/reg-guides/ contactus.html. Suggestions will be

BILLING CODE 7590–01–P FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE 
CORPORATION 
12 CFR Part 327 
RIN 3064–AF93 
Special Assessments Pursuant to 
Systemic Risk Determination 
AGENCY : Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation (FDIC). 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking. 
SUMMARY : The FDIC is seeking comment 
on a proposed rule that would impose special assessments to recover the loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF or Fund) arising from the protection of uninsured depositors in connection with the systemic risk determination announced on March 12, 2023, following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, CA, and Signature Bank, New York, NY, as required by the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act). The assessment base for the special assessments would be equal to an insured depository institution’s (IDI) estimated uninsured deposits, reported as of December 31, 2022, adjusted to exclude the first $5 billion in estimated uninsured deposits from the IDI, or for IDIs that are part of a holding company with one or more subsidiary IDIs, at the banking organization level. The FDIC is proposing to collect special assessments at an annual rate of approximately 12.5 basis points, over eight quarterly assessment periods, which it estimates will result in total revenue of $15.8 billion. Because the estimated loss pursuant to the systemic risk determination will be periodically adjusted, the FDIC would retain the 
ability to cease collection early, extend the special assessment collection period one or more quarters beyond the initial eight-quarter collection period to collect the difference between actual or estimated losses and the amounts collected, and impose a final shortfall special assessment on a one-time basis after the receiverships for Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank terminate. The FDIC is proposing an effective date of January 1, 2024, with special assessments collected beginning with the first quarterly assessment period of 2024 (i.e., January 1 through March 31, 
2024, with an invoice payment date of June 28, 2024).
