73770 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 207 / Friday, October 27, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

response programs, offer law 

enforcement and security personnel the 

greatest opportunity to disrupt or 

dissuade acts of terrorism before they 

occur. Additionally, licensees’ timely 

submission of suspicious activity 

reports to the NRC supports one of the 

agency’s primary mission essential 

functions of threat assessment for 

licensed facilities, materials, and 

shipping activities. 

Following the publication of the final 

rule and RG 5.87, the NRC staff 

conducted several pre-implementation 

workshops with licensees. The NRC 

staff also participated in industry-led 

forums and symposiums in May and 

June 2023. In these meetings industry 

raised questions about RG 5.87 and 

identified potential inconsistencies and 

areas where additional clarification 

would be beneficial to licensees to 

implement the Enhanced Weapons rule 

effectively and efficiently. The NRC staff 

has reviewed the issues raised by 

industry and agrees that further 

clarification, revision, and 

supplementation of the guidance 

contained in RG 5.87 will be of value. 

Accordingly, the NRC staff is proposing 

to conduct limited-scope revisions to 

RG 5.87 to address these issues, 

including providing notice and 

opportunity for public comment on the 

proposed revisions. 

To assist with stakeholder review of 

the limited scope changes to DG–5082, 

staff notes the following changes have 

been proposed: 

Section B, ‘‘Discussion’’ Topics 

• ‘‘Reason for Issuance’’—updated to 

clarify rationale for RG changes. 

• ‘‘Reporting Timeliness and Order of 

Precedence,’’ item number 4 and Note— 

updated to clarify Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA) facility. 

• ‘‘Reporting Timeliness and Order of 

Precedence,’’ paragraphs 2–5—updated 

to clarify FAA reporting requirements. 

Section C, ‘‘Staff Regulatory Guidance’’ 

• Position 5.2, ‘‘Challenges to 

Licensee’s Security Systems and 

Procedures—Facilities,’’ paragraph 3— 

clarifies exceptions to the reporting 

requirements. 

Appendix A, ‘‘Suspicious AviationRelated Activities’’ 

• A–2.1, ‘‘Coordination with the 

FAA, paragraph 2’’—modified 

expectations regarding licensee’s 

ongoing awareness of Notice to Airman 

advisories. 

• A–3, ‘‘Assessing Potentially 

Suspicious Aviation-Related Activity’’— 

modified the applicable FAA facility to 

be notified of suspicious aviationrelated activity. 

The staff is also issuing for public 

comment a regulatory analysis (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML23200A284). The staff 

developed a regulatory analysis to 

assess the value of issuing or revising an 

RG as well as alternative courses of 

action. 

As noted in the Federal Register on 

December 9, 2022 (87 FR 75671), this 

document is being published in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of the Federal 

Register to comply with publication 

requirements under 1 CFR chapter I. 

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

Issuance of DG–5082 as a final RG 

would not constitute backfitting as that 

term is defined in 10 CFR 50.109, 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ 10 CFR 70.76, 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ or 10 CFR 72.62, 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC 

Management Directive (MD) 8.4, 

‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward 

Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information 

Requests,’’ nor does the NRC staff 

intend to use the guidance to affect the 

issue finality of an approval under 10 

CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, 

and Approvals for Nuclear Power 

Plants.’’ The staff also does not intend 

to use the guidance to support NRC staff 

actions in a manner that constitutes 

forward fitting as that term is defined 

and described in MD 8.4 because 

reporting requirements are not included 

within the scope of the NRC’s 

backfitting or issue finality rules or 

forward fitting policy. 

IV. Submitting Suggestions for 

Improvement of Regulatory Guides 

A member of the public may, at any 

time, submit suggestions to the NRC for 

improvement of existing RGs or for the 

development of new RGs. Suggestions 

can be submitted on the NRC’s public 

website at https://www.nrc.gov/readingrm/doc-collections/reg-guides/ 

contactus.html. Suggestions will be 

considered in future updates and 

enhancements to the ‘‘Regulatory 

Guide’’ series.
