partnering relationships, and other 

relevant factors. 

(c) Evaluating Prior Award 

Performance: For prior participants of 

the CDRLF Program, loans may not be 

awarded if the participant: (i) Is 

noncompliant with any active award; 

(ii) failed to make timely loan payments 

to NCUA during fiscal years prior to the 

date of Application; and (iii) had an 

award deobligated (i.e. removal of 

unused awarded funds) during fiscal 

years prior to the date of Application. 

4. Input from Examiners: NCUA will 

not approve an award to a credit union 

for which its NCUA regional examining 

office or State Supervisory Agency 

(SSA), if applicable, indicates it has 

safety and soundness concerns. If the 

NCUA regional office or SSA identifies 

a safety and soundness concern, OSCUI, 

in conjunction with the regional office 

or SSA, will assess whether the 

condition of the Applicant is adequate 

to undertake the activities for which 

funding is requested, and the 

obligations of the loan and its 

conditions. NCUA, in its sole discretion, 

may defer decision on funding an 

Application until the credit union’s 

safety and soundness conditions 

improve. 

V. Award Process 

A. Award Selection: NCUA will make 

its award selections based on a 

consistent scoring system where each 

applicant will receive an individual 

score. NCUA will consider the impact of 

the funding. In addition, NCUA may 

consider the geographic diversity of the 

Applicants in its funding decisions. 

When loan demand is high applications 

will be ranked based on the 

aforementioned. 

B. Notice of Award: NCUA will notify 

each Applicant of its funding decision. 

Notification will generally be by email. 

Applicants that are approved for 

funding will also receive instructions on 

how to proceed with disbursement of 

the loan. 

VI. Disbursement of Funds 

A. Loan Agreement: Each Applicant 

selected to receive a loan under this 

NOFO must sign a Loan Agreement and 

a Promissory Note in order to receive a 

disbursement of funds. The Loan 

Agreement will include the terms and 

conditions of funding, including but not 

limited to the: (i) Loan amount; (ii) 

interest rate; (iii) repayment 

requirements; (iv) accounting treatment; 

(v) impact measures; and (vi) reporting 

requirements. 

1. Failure to Sign Agreement: NCUA, 

in its sole discretion, may rescind a loan 

offer if the Applicant fails to return the 

signed loan documents and/or any other 

requested documentation, within the 

time specified by NCUA. 

2. Multiple Disbursements: NCUA 

may determine, in its sole discretion, to 

fund a loan in multiple disbursements. 

In such cases, the process for 

disbursement will be specified by 

NCUA in the Loan Agreement. 

VII. Post-Award Requirements 

A. Reporting Requirements: Annually, 

each Participating Credit Union will 

submit an annual report to NCUA. The 

report will address the Participating 

Credit Union’s use of the loan funds; the 

impact of funding; and explanation of 

any failure to meet objectives for use of 

proceeds, outcome, or impact. NCUA, in 

its sole discretion, may modify these 

requirements. However, such reporting 

requirements will be modified only after 

notice to affected credit unions. 

1. Report Form: The annual report 

form will be available on NCUA’s Web 

site. The loan agreement will describe 

the requirements more fully. A 

Participating Credit Union is 

responsible for timely and complete 

submission of the report. NCUA will use 

such information to monitor each 

Participating Credit Union’s compliance 

with the requirements of its loan 

agreement and to assess the impact of 

the CDRLF Program. 

VIII. Urgent Requests for Funding 

A. Funding Requests: Consistent with 

§ 705.7 of NCUA’s regulations, NCUA 

will consider requests for funding on an 

emergency basis to eligible credit 

unions. To allow for the Agency to 

respond with maximum efficiency, such 

requests will be handled on a case-bycase basis. NCUA, in its sole discretion, 

will determine what information an 

eligible credit union must submit, the 

timeframe for such submission, and 

how to evaluate such requests. 

1. Contacting NCUA: To request 

assistance under this provision, contact 

OSCUI as listed below.

Background 

The NRC issues LR–ISGs to 

communicate insights and lessons 

learned and to address emergent issues 

not covered in license renewal guidance 

documents, such as the GALL Report 

and SRP–LR. In this way, the NRC staff 

and stakeholders may use the guidance 

in an LR–ISG document before it is 

incorporated into a formal license 

renewal guidance document revision. 

The NRC staff issues LR–ISG in 

accordance with the LR–ISG Process, 

Revision 2 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML100920158); for which a notice of 

availability was published in the 

Federal Register on June 22, 2010 (75 

FR 35510). 

The NRC staff has determined that 

existing guidance in the SRP–LR and 

GALL Report needs to be revised for 

PWR reactor vessel internal 

components. The guidance document 

changes that are proposed in draft LR– 

ISG–2011–04 are based on the 

conclusions of the NRC’s revised safety 

evaluation (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML11308A770). 

Proposed Action 

By this action, the NRC is requesting 

public comments on draft LR–ISG– 

2011–04. This LR–ISG proposes certain 

revisions to NRC guidance in the SRP– 

LR and GALL Report. The NRC staff will 

make a final determination regarding 

issuance of the LR–ISG after it considers 

any public comments received in 

response to this request. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 13th day 

of March, 2012. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. 

Melanie A. Galloway, 

Acting Director, Division of License Renewal, 

Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
