II. Background 

Under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. Chapter 35), the NRC recently 

submitted a request for renewal of an 

existing collection of information to 

OMB for review entitled, ‘‘Cooperation 

with States at Commercial Nuclear 

Power Plants and Other Nuclear 

Production and Utilization Facilities, 

Policy Statement.’’ The NRC hereby 

informs potential respondents that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

that a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

The NRC published a Federal 

Register notice with a 60-day comment 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
804 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices 

period on this information collection on 

September 26, 2018, 83 FR 48658. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Cooperation with States at 

Commercial Nuclear Power Plants and 

Other Nuclear Production and 

Utilization Facilities, Policy Statement. 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0163. 

3. Type of submission: Revision. 

4. The form number if applicable: Not 

applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: On occasion, when a State 

or federally recognized Indian Tribe 

wishes to observe NRC inspections or 

perform inspections for the NRC or 

when a State or federally recognized 

Indian Tribe wishes to negotiate an 

agreement to observe or perform 

inspections. States with an instrument 

of cooperation or a State Resident 

Engineer have both regular reporting 

and occasion-specific reporting. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: States and federally recognized 

Tribes interested in observing or 

performing inspections. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 209. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 33. 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to comply with 

the information collection requirement 

or request: 1,309 hours. 

10. Abstract: States and federally 

recognized Indian Tribes are involved 

and interested in monitoring the safety 

status of nuclear power plants and other 

nuclear production and utilization 

facilities. This involvement is, in part, 

in response to the States’ and Tribes’ 

public health and safety responsibilities 

and, in part, in response to their 

citizens’ desire to become more 

knowledgeable about the safety of 

nuclear power plants and other nuclear 

production and utilization facilities. 

States and Tribes have identified NRC 

inspections as one possible source of 

knowledge for their personnel regarding 

NRC licensee activities, and the NRC, 

through the policy statement, 

‘‘Cooperation with States at Commercial 

Nuclear Power Plants and Other Nuclear 

Production or Utilization Facilities’’ (57 

FR 6462; February 25, 1992), has been 

amenable to accommodating States’ and 

Tribes’ needs in this regard. The NRC 

uses the information collected under 

this information collection requirement 

to allow States and federally recognized 

Indian Tribes to participate in or 

observe inspections at NRC-licensed 

facilities. The types of information 

collected include written requests 

identifying specific inspections States 

and Tribes wish to observe; 

identification-related information 

required for site access to NRC-licensed 

facilities; training and qualifications of 

State and Tribal personnel participating 

in inspections; information required to 

define inspection roles for States and 

Tribes; and information to coordinate 

NRC and State and Tribal inspections. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 16th day 

of January 2019.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing Interim 

Staff Guidance (ISG) Digital 

Instrumentation and Controls (DI&C)—

Process.’’ This ISG defines the licensing 

process used to support the review of 

license amendment requests (LARs) 

associated with safety-related D&IC 

equipment modifications in operating 

plants and in new plants once they 

become operational. This ISG provides 

guidance for activities performed before 

a LAR is submitted and for activities 

performed during LAR review. The NRC 

staff uses the process described in this 

ISG to evaluate compliance with NRC 

regulations. 

DATES: This guidance is available on 

January 31, 2019.

NRC–2018–0056 when contacting the

Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The NRC published a notice of the 

availability of ISG–06, Rev. 2, in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 38731) on 

August 7, 2018, for a 30-day public 

comment period. The public comment 

period closed on September 6, 2018. 

Public comments on ISG–06, Rev. 2, and 

the staff responses to the public 

comments are available under ADAMS 

Accession No. ML18290A623. 

This ISG provides guidance for the 

NRC staff’s review of LARs supporting 

installation of Digital I&C equipment in 

accordance with licensing processes 

defined in the NRC’s office instruction 

LIC–101, ‘‘License Amendment Review 

Procedures.’’ This ISG identifies 

information the NRC staff should review 

for Digital I&C equipment. This ISG 

provides guidance on when that 

information should be reviewed. 

This ISG is designed to be used with 

the NRC’s topical report review and 

approval process defined in the NRC’s 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation 

office instruction LIC–500, ‘‘Topical 

Report Process.’’ Where a licensee 

references an NRC-approved topical 

report, the NRC staff should be able to, 

where appropriate, limit its review to 

assessing whether the application of the 

Digital I&C modification falls within the 

envelope of the topical report approval. 

This ISG was developed based upon, 

and is designed to work in concert with, 

established guidance. As a result, this 

ISG references other guidance 

documents for review criteria.
