6376 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 12 / Thursday, January 21, 2021 / Notices 

incorporated a direct reference to RG 

1.174, Revision 3, and (3) delineate the 

difference between temporary CT 

extensions and permanent CT 

extensions of TSs or maximum backstop 

CTs. 

II. Additional Information 

The NRC published a notice of the 

availability of DG–1287 (ADAMS under 

Accession No. ML19206A489), in the 

Federal Register on February 19, 2020 

(85 FR 9484) for a 60-day public 

comment period. The public comment 

period closed on April 20, 2020, and the 

NRC received two comment documents. 

Public comments on DG–1287 and the 

staff responses to the public comments 

are available in ADAMS under 

Accession No. ML20191A231. 

II. Congressional Review Act 

This RG is a rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 

801–808). However, the Office of 

Management and Budget has not found 

it to be a major rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act. 

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

RG 1.177, Revision 2 provides 

updated guidance for power reactor 

applicants and licensees regarding the 

use of the defense-in-depth philosophy 

with other recently updated guidance 

and would make other conforming 

changes to the use of PRA and 

associated terminology. Issuance of this 

RG does not constitute backfitting or 

forward fitting or affect issue finality as 

further discussed in this notice. 

Current or future applicants are not, 

with limited exceptions not applicable 

here, within the scope of the backfitting 

and issue finality regulations and 

forward fitting policy. Applicants are 

not, with certain exceptions, covered by 

either the backfit rule or any issue 

finality provisions under part 52 of title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR). This is because neither the 

backfit rule nor the issue finality 

provisions under 10 CFR part 52, with 

certain exclusions further discussed, 

were intended to apply to every NRC 

action which substantially changes the 

expectations of current and future 

applicants. 

The exceptions to the general 

principle are applicable whenever an 

applicant references a 10 CFR part 52 

license (e.g., an early site permit) and/ 

or NRC regulatory approval (e.g., a 

design certification rule) with specified 

issue finality provisions or a 

construction permit under 10 CFR part 

50. The staff does not, at this time, 

intend to impose the positions 

represented in the RG in a manner that 

would constitute backfitting or affect the 

issue finality of a part 52 approval. If, 

in the future, the staff seeks to impose 

a position in the RG in a manner that 

constitutes backfitting or does not 

provide issue finality as described in the 

applicable issue finality provision, then 

the staff would need to address the 

backfit rule or the criteria for avoiding 

issue finality as described in the 

applicable issue finality provision. 

The staff does not, at this time, intend 

to impose the positions represented in 

the RG in a manner that would 

constitute forward fitting. If, in the 

future, the staff seeks to impose a 

position in the RG in a manner that 

constitutes forward fitting, then the staff 

would need to address the forward 

fitting criteria in Management Directive 

8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, 

Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and 

Information Requests’’ (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML18093B087).

www.regulations.gov as well as enter the 

comment submissions into ADAMS. 

The NRC does not routinely edit 

comment submissions to remove 

identifying or contact information. 

If you are requesting or aggregating

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 the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review. The information 

collection is entitled, ‘‘Collection of 

Operator Simulator Training Data.’’ 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 

September 11, 2020, (85 FR 56277). 

1. The title of the information 

collection: Collection of Operator 

Simulator Training Data. 

2. OMB approval number: 3150–0234. 

3. Type of submission: Extension. 

4. The form number if applicable: Not 

applicable. 

5. How often the collection is required 

or requested: Six per year. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: All holders of, or applicants 

for, a power reactor operating license 

under part 50 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities,’’ except those that 

have certified that they have 

permanently ceased operations and 

have permanently removed all fuel from 

the reactor vessel. All holders of, or 

applicants for, a power reactor 

combined license under 10 CFR part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 32. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 5. 

9. An estimate of the total number of 

hours needed annually to comply with 

the information collection requirement 

or request: 148. 

10. Abstract: This information 

collection request is to the holders of, or 

applicants for, a power reactor operating 

license under 10 CFR part 50, 

‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and 

Utilization Facilities,’’ except those that 

have certified that they have 

permanently ceased operations and 

have permanently removed all fuel from 

the reactor vessel, and the holders of, or 

applicants for, a power reactor 

combined license under 10 CFR part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

This information collection is for the 

specified licensees to use the NRC 

developed Scenario Authoring, 

Characterization and Debriefing 

Application (SACADA) software for 

their operator simulator training. The 

SACADA system was developed to 

collect licensed operator simulator 

training data to inform human reliability 

analysis (HRA) and to facilitate operator 

simulator training. The SACADA 

software can be used to author the 

simulation scenarios, facilitate the post 

simulation debriefing on crew 

performance, guide performance 

analysis, and generate various types of 

reports. The information entered into 

the SACADA database can be used to 

improve simulator training effectiveness 

and HRA. 

The South Texas Project Nuclear 

Operating Company has used the 

software for its operator simulator 

training since 2012 and highly regards 

the software. The NRC welcomes more 

licensees to partner with the NRC to use 

the software. The licensees’ 

participation in the information 

collection is voluntary. In the 

partnership, the NRC provides the 

SACADA software license, training, and 

technical support to the participating 

licensees, and the participating 

licensees grant NRC access to analyze 

the data to improve the NRC’s HRA 

techniques. An agreement will be 

developed to specify the details. To 

participate in the information 

collection, the licensee will notify the 

NRC contact that it is interested in 

evaluating the software. Then the NRC 

will provide additional information 

including an onsite briefing. If the 

licensee thinks the SACADA software 

could be beneficial, the NRC will 

provide a training session, the software 

license, and technical support for the 

licensee to pilot the use of the software 

in its simulator training. After the pilot 

study, the licensee will decide whether 

or not to partner with the NRC on the 

information collection. Either party can 

terminate the agreement at any time. 

Dated: January 14, 2021.
