destruction of the identified records is 

administrative in nature and does not 

involve information or activities that 

could potentially impact the common 

defense and security of the United 

States. 

The purpose for the recordkeeping 

regulations is to assist the NRC in 

carrying out its mission to protect the 

public health and safety by ensuring 

that the licensing and design basis of the 

facility is understood, documented, 

preserved and retrievable in such a way 

that will aid the NRC in determining 

compliance and noncompliance, taking 

action on possible noncompliance, and 

examining facts following an incident. 

Since the Oyster Creek SSCs that were 

safety-related or important to safety 

have been or will be removed from the 

licensing basis and removed from the 

plant, the staff agrees that the records 

identified in the exemption request will 

no longer be required to achieve the 

underlying purpose of the records 

retention rule. 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined that, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.12, the exemptions are authorized by 

law, will not present an undue risk to 

the public health and safety, and are 

consistent with the common defense 

and security. Also, special 

circumstances are present. Therefore, 

the Commission hereby grants the 

Exelon, a partial exemption from the 

recordkeeping requirements of 10 CFR 

50.71(c); 10 CFR part 50, Appendix B, 

Criterion XVII; and 10 CFR 50.59(d)(3) 

for Oyster Creek only to the extent 

necessary to allow the licensee to 

advance the schedule to remove records 

associated with SSCs that have been or 

will be removed from NRC licensing 

basis documents through appropriate 

change mechanism (e.g., 10 CFR 50.59 

or via NRC-approved license 

amendment request, as applicable. 

This exemption is effective upon 

submittal of the licensee’s certification 

of permanent fuel removal, under 

§ 50.82(a)(1). 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 

26th day of June, 2018.

Commission.

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 and make 

available to the public information 

regarding methods that are acceptable to 

the NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the NRC’s regulations, 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific issues or postulated 

events, and data that the staff needs in 

its review of applications for permits 

and licenses. 

The DG, entitled ‘‘Dispositioning of 

Technical Specifications that are 

Insufficient to Ensure Plant Safety,’’ is a 

proposed new guide temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1351. 

DG–1351 proposes new guidance that 

describes methods and procedures that 

are acceptable to the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff for 

dispositioning of technical 

specifications (TS) that are insufficient 

to ensure power plant safety. 

This DG proposes guidance to 

licensees for compliance with the TS 

requirements in section 50.36 of title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), the reporting requirements in 10 

CFR 50.72 and 50.73, and the quality 

assurance requirements in Criterion XVI 

of 10 CFR part 50, appendix B. This DG 

proposes to endorse NEI 15–03, 

Revision 2, with exceptions and 

clarifications. 

III. Backfitting and Issue Finality 

If finalized, this DG would endorse, 

with certain clarifications, NEI 15–03, 

Revision 2, which describes methods 

and procedures for dispositioning of TS 

that are insufficient to ensure power 

plant safety. Issuance of this DG, if 

finalized, would not constitute 

backfitting as defined in 10 CFR 50.109 

(the Backfit Rule) and would not 

otherwise be inconsistent with the issue 

finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. As 

discussed in the ‘‘Implementation’’ 

section of this DG, the NRC has no 

current intention to impose this 

guidance on holders of current 

operating licenses or combined licenses.

of June 2018.

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be

4. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses. 

The SFS Program was established by 

the National Science Foundation, in 

collaboration with the U.S. Office of 

Personnel Management and the 

Department of Homeland Security, in 

accordance with the Cybersecurity 

Enhancement Act of 2014 (Pub. L. No: 

113–274). This initiative reflects the 

critical need for Information Technology 

(IT) professionals, industrial control 

system security professionals, and 

security managers in Federal, State, 

local and tribal governments. Students 

identified by their institutions for SFS 

Scholarships must meet selection 

criteria based on prior academic 

performance, likelihood of success in 

obtaining the degree, and suitability for 

government employment. Upon 

graduation, scholarship recipients are 

required to work a period equal to the 

length of their scholarship in Federal, 

State, Local or Tribal Government or in 

other approved organization as 

cybersecurity professionals. Approval of 

the web page is necessary to facilitate 

the timely registration, selection and 

placement of program-enrolled students 

in Government agencies.
