Utilization Facilities,’’ and 10 CFR part 

52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and 

Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

The staff is also issuing for public 

comment a draft regulatory analysis 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML20192A230). 

The staff develops a regulatory analysis 

to assess the value of issuing or revising 

a regulatory guide as well as alternative 

courses of action. 

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

DG–1361, if finalized, would provide 

the most recent guidance acceptable to 

the NRC staff for compliance with 10 

CFR 50.49, ‘‘Environmental 

qualification of electrical equipment 

important to safety for nuclear power 

plants’’ for certain electrical equipment 

important to safety. Issuance of DG– 

1361, if finalized, would not constitute 

backfitting, as that term is defined in 10 

CFR 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as 

described in NRC Management Directive 

8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, 

Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and 

Information Requests’’; constitute 

forward fitting, as that term is defined 

and described in Management Directive 

8.4; or affect the issue finality of any 

approval issued under 10 CFR part 52. 

As explained in DG–1361, applicants 

and licensees would not be required to 

comply with the positions set forth in 

DG–1361. 

IV. Specific Requests for Comments 

In addition to the general request for 

comments on DG–1361, the NRC is also 

seeking specific comments that address 

the following question: 

In this proposed RG revision, the staff 

has updated the current version of the 

RG (Revision 1) to endorse, with 

clarifications, IEC/IEEE Std. 60780–323, 

Edition 1, 2016–2. The current version 

of the RG (Revision 1) endorsed IEEE 

Std. 323–1974, ‘‘IEEE Standard for 

Qualifying Class IE Equipment for 

Nuclear Power Generating Stations.’’ As 

stated in the Implementation section of 

the DG, the staff does not intend to use 

this RG revision to support NRC staff 

actions in a manner that would 

constitute backfitting or forward fitting 

or affect the issue finality of an approval 

under 10 CFR part 52. Further, licensees 

or applicants are not required to comply 

with the RG. However, does the staff’s 

proposed endorsement of IEEE Std. 

60780–323, Edition 1, 2016–02 raise any 

concerns related to backfitting, forward 

fitting, or issue finality that the staff has 

not considered?

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter 

dated March 10, 2020 (ADAMS Package 

Accession No. ML20083G798), PGE 

submitted to the NRC, in accordance 

with part 72 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), a request 

to amend Special Nuclear Materials 

License No. SNM–2509 for the Trojan 

Independent Spent Fuel Storage 

Installation (ISFSI) site located in 

Columbia County, Oregon. License No. 

SNM–2509 authorizes PGE to receive, 

possess, store, and transfer spent 

nuclear fuel and associated radioactive 

materials resulting from the operation of 

the Trojan Power Plant in an ISFSI. 

Specifically, the amendment proposed 

to address a new anchorage point on the 

Columbia River near the ISFSI and 

incorporate a new method of evaluating 

explosion accident events. 

The NRC issued a letter dated June 12, 

2020 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20149K631), notifying PGE that the 

application was acceptable for review. 

In accordance with 10 CFR 72.16, a 

notice of docketing was published in the 

Federal Register on June 26, 2020 (85 

FR 38398). The notice of docketing 

included an opportunity to request a 

hearing and to petition for leave to 

intervene. No requests for a hearing or 

petitions for leave to intervene were 

submitted. 

The NRC prepared a safety evaluation 

report (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20280A520) to document its review 

and evaluation of the amendment 

request. Also, in connection with this 

action, the NRC prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) and a 

finding of no significant impact 

(FONSI). The notice of availability of 

the EA and FONSI was published in the 

Federal Register on November 17, 2020 

(85 FR 73298). 

Upon completing its review, the NRC 

staff determined that the request 

complies with the standards and 

requirements of the Atomic Energy Act 

of 1954, as amended (the Act), as well 

as the NRC’s rules and regulations. The 

Commission has made appropriate 

findings as required by the Act and the 

Commission’s rules and regulations in 

10 CFR chapter I, which are set forth in 

the license amendment. The NRC 

81960 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 243 / Thursday, December 17, 2020 / Notices 

approved and issued Amendment No. 7 

to Special Nuclear Materials License No. 

SNM–2509, held by PGE for the receipt, 

possession, transfer, and storage of 

spent fuel and associated radioactive 

materials at the Trojan ISFSI. Pursuant 

to 10 CFR 72.46(d), the NRC is 

providing notice of the action taken. 

Amendment No. 7 was effective as of 

the date of issuance, December 11, 2020. 

Dated: December 11, 2020.

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, ‘‘10 CFR part 

74, Material Control and Accounting of 

Special Nuclear Material.’’ 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 

period on this information collection on 

August 19, 2020, 85 FR 51070. 

1. The title of the information 

collection: ‘‘10 CFR part 74, Material 

Control and Accounting of Special 

Nuclear Material.’’ 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0123. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number if applicable: Not 

applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Submission of 

fundamental nuclear material control 

plans is a one-time requirement which 

has been completed by all current 

licensees as required. However, 

licensees may submit amendments or 

revisions to the plans as necessary. 

Reports are submitted as events occur. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Persons licensed under Part 70 

of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), who possess and 

use certain forms and quantities of 

special nuclear material (SNM). 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 174 (17 reporting responses + 

157 recordkeepers). 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 157. 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to comply with 

the information collection requirement 

or request: 8,909 (669 hours reporting + 

8,240 hours recordkeeping). 

10. Abstract: 10 CFR part 74 

establishes requirements for material 

control and accounting of SNM, and 

specific performance-based regulations 

for licensees authorized to possess, use, 

and produced strategic SNM, and SNM 

of moderate strategic significance and 

low strategic significance. The 

information is used by the NRC to make 

licensing and regulatory determinations 

concerning material control of SNM and 

to satisfy obligations of the United
