NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2020–0278] 

Measuring, Evaluating, and Reporting 

Radioactive Material in Liquid and 

Gaseous Effluents and Solid Waste 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft regulatory guide; request 

for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment draft regulatory guide (DG), 

DG–1377, ‘‘Measuring, Evaluating, and 

Reporting Radioactive Material in 

Liquid and Gaseous Effluents and Solid 

Waste.’’ This DG is proposed revision 3 

of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.21 of the 

same name. The proposed revision 

describes an approach that is acceptable 

to the staff of the NRC to meet 

regulatory requirements for; (1) 

measuring, evaluating, and reporting 

plant related radioactivity in effluents 

and solid radioactive waste shipments 

from NRC licensed facilities, and (2) 

assessing and reporting the public dose 

to demonstrate compliance with NRC 

regulations. 

DATES: Submit comments by February 

19, 2021. 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. 

Although a time limit is given, 

comments and suggestions in 

connection with items for inclusion in 

guides currently being developed or 

improvements in all published guides 

are encouraged at any time. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods; 

however, the NRC encourages electronic 

comment submission through the

inform those persons not to include 

identifying or contact information that 

they do not want to be publicly 

disclosed in their comment submission. 

Your request should state that the NRC 

does not routinely edit comment 

submissions to remove such information 

before making the comment 

submissions available to the public or 

entering the comment submissions into 

ADAMS. 

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 

NRC’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, titled, ‘‘Measuring, 

Evaluating, and Reporting Radioactive 

Material in Liquid and Gaseous 

Effluents and Solid Waste,’’ is a 

proposed revision temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1377 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML20287A423). 

The draft guide is proposed revision 3 

of RG 1.21 of the same name (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML091170109). The 

guide proposes revised guidance for 

measuring, evaluating, and reporting 

plant-related radioactivity in effluents 

and solid radioactive waste shipments 

from NRC licensed facilities. This 

guidance provides clarity and 

consistency regarding the assessing and

reporting the public dose to demonstrate 

compliance with part 20 of title 10 of 

the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), ‘‘Standards For Protection Against 

Radiation’’ and 40 CFR part 190, 

‘‘Environmental Radiation Protection 

Standards for Nuclear Power 

Operations.’’ 

Substantial changes are integrated in 

this revision. This revision provides (1) 

guidance on acceptable methods for 

calibration of accident-range radiation 

monitors and accident-range effluent 

monitors, (2) updated guidance on 

reviewing and updating long-term, 

annual average X/Q and D/Q values 

used for determining dose to individual 

members of the public, (3) clarification 

on reporting requirements for low-level 

waste shipments from the site that waste 

classification does not need to be 

reported, and (4) clarification that 

drinking water sampling would only be 

performed under the guidance when the 

calculated dose from I–131 is greater 

than 1 mrem/yr. This guide also 

incorporates the risk-informed 

principles of the Reactor Oversight 

Process. A risk-informed, performancebased approach to regulatory decision 

making combines the ‘‘risk informed’’ 

and ‘‘performance based’’ elements 

discussed in the staff requirements 

memorandum to SECY 98–144, ‘‘Staff 

Requirements—SECY–98–144—White 

Paper on Risk-Informed and 

Performance-Based Regulation,’’ dated 

February 24, 1999 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML003753593). In particular, the 

guidance in this RG gives licensees the 

option of deciding on what effluents to 

monitor based on a risk-significance 

basis. 

The staff is also issuing for public 

comment a draft regulatory analysis 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML20287A434). 

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 

The draft regulatory guide (DG–1377), 

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.’’ It also would not constitute 

forward fitting as that term is defined 

and described in MD 8.4; or affect the 

issue finality of any approval issued 

under 10 CFR part 52. As explained in 

DG–1377, applicants and licensees 

would not be required to comply with 

the positions set forth in DG–1377.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

Licensing Support Network Advisory 

Review Panel 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of renewal of the charter 

of the licensing support network 

advisory review panel. 

SUMMARY: The Licensing Support 

System Advisory Review Panel was 

established by the Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) as a Federal 

Advisory Committee in 1989. Its 

purpose was to provide advice on the 

fundamental issues of design and 

development of an electronic 

information management system to be 

used to store and retrieve documents 

relating to the licensing of a geologic 

repository for the disposal of high-level 

radioactive waste, and on the operation 

and maintenance of the system. This 

electronic information management 

system was known as the Licensing 

Support System. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Russell E. Chazell, Office of the 

Secretary, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555; 

telephone: 301–415–7469 or at 

Russell.Chazell@nrc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

November 1998, the Commission 

approved amendments to title 10 Code 

of Federal Regulations Part 2 that 

renamed the Licensing Support System 

Advisory Review Panel as the Licensing 

Support Network Advisory Review 

Panel (LSNARP). The Licensing Support 

Network (LSN) was shut down in 2011 

and the document collection was 

submitted to the Office of the Secretary. 

The document collection was made 

publicly available in the NRC’s 

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System in August 2016 

and contains over 3.69 million 

documents associated the proposed 

high-level waste facility at Yucca 

Mountain. Membership on the Panel 

will continue to be drawn from those 

whose interests could be affected by the 

use of the LSN document collection, 

including the Department of Energy, the 

NRC, the State of Nevada, the National 

Congress of American Indians, affected 

units of local governments in Nevada, 

the Nevada Nuclear Waste Task Force, 

and nuclear industry groups. Federal 

agencies with expertise and experience 

in electronic information management 

systems may also participate on the 

Panel. 

The NRC has determined that renewal 

of the charter for the LSNARP until 

December 30, 2022, is in the public 

interest in connection with duties 

imposed on the Commission by law. 

This action is being taken in accordance 

with the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act after consultation with the 

Committee Management Secretariat, 

General Services Administration. 

Dated: December 30, 2020.

Federal Advisory Committee Management 

Officer, Office of the Secretary.
