Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 157 / Monday, August 17, 2009 / Notices 41463 

(1) NEI’s first comment addresses the 

proposed revision to RIS 2007–16. The 

NRC staff is addressing this comment in 

the revision to RIS 2007–16, which is 

planned to be issued separately. 

(2) NEI commented that it agrees with 

the NRC staff’s proposed change to RIS 

2007–16 to include a backfit review of 

all LR–ISG documents under 10 CFR 

50.109. However, NEI further 

commented, this addition of backfit 

review for LR–ISGs should have no 

impact on implementation or 

interpretation of 10 CFR 54.37(b). The 

NRC staff agrees with NEI’s comment 

and no changes have been made from 

the proposed LR–ISG process revision. 

The revised LR–ISG process contains 

the framework for developing and 

implementing LR–ISGs, including 

provisions for determining whether 10 

CFR 54.37(b) and 10 CFR 50.109 apply 

to an LR–ISG, and according 

documentation. The LR–ISG process 

references RIS 2007–16, which provides 

guidance on interpretation and licensee 

implementation of 10 CFR 54.37(b). 

NEI also commented that it agrees 

with the NRC staff’s proposed change to 

extend the LR–ISG process to include 

environmental review issues. As such, 

the NRC staff has made no changes to 

the proposed LR–ISG process revision. 

(3) NEI recommended that the NRC 

consider splitting RIS 2007–16 into two 

separate documents, one on 

implementation of 10 CFR 54.37(b) and 

the other on the LR–ISG process, 

including the requirement for backfit 

analysis for proposed LR–ISGs. The 

NRC staff agrees with NEI’s 

recommendation that the documents are 

separate. The two documents are the 

revised LR–ISG process and RIS 2007– 

16. The NRC staff intends for the focus 

of these two documents to be as 

described in the response to the 

previous comment. 

In its comments, NEI also suggested 

that the NRC include the requirement 

for ‘‘backfit analysis’’ for LR–ISGs. The 

NRC staff would like to clarify that, as 

described in the proposed LR–ISG 

process revision, the NRC staff will 

perform a backfitting review of LR–ISGs; 

however, the NRC staff will only 

prepare a backfitting analysis in certain 

cases, which is consistent with the 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.109. If, as a 

result of its backfitting review, the NRC 

staff determines that an LR–ISG 

constitutes backfitting, as defined in 10 

CFR 50.109(a)(1), then a backfitting 

analysis is required to demonstrate that 

backfitting is necessary because it 

constitutes a substantial increase in 

protection to public health and safety or 

the common defense and security, and 

the cost is justified in light of the 

substantial increase. If an LR–ISG 

constitutes backfitting, but one or more 

of the exceptions in 10 CFR 

50.109(a)(4)(i) through (iii) apply, then a 

backfitting analysis is not required, but 

the NRC staff is required to prepare a 

documented backfitting evaluation. 

(4) NEI commented that the NRC 

deleted from RIS 2007–16, Revision 0, 

NRC’s agreement to inform renewed 

license holders of new LR–ISGs and to 

inform the industry of ‘‘newly 

identified’’ SSCs. NEI suggested that 

this information could be added to 

Section 4.2.4 of the LR–ISG process. NEI 

indicated that this information is 

valuable to licensees and requested that 

the NRC staff retain the expectation to 

communicate it. 

The NRC staff agrees with NEI’s 

comment to include this information in 

Section 4.2.4 of the LR–ISG process. 

Accordingly, the revised LR–ISG 

process states that when an LR–ISG 

constitutes backfitting under 10 CFR 

50.109, or communicates ‘‘newlyidentified’’ SSCs under the provisions of 

10 CFR 54.37(b), the NRC staff will 

notify applicable renewed license 

holders as appropriate, for example, by 

issuing letters or a generic 

communication. The NRC staff will 

continue to make draft and final LR– 

ISGs publicly available, and notices of 

availability or the opportunity to 

provide comments will be published in 

the Federal Register. Electronic copies 

of draft and final LR–ISGs will be made 

available on the NRC’s public Web site.
