systems to recover and adapt while 

ability to withstand may be already 

covered in the current risk assessment 

and management efforts. We are 

particularly interested in how resilience 

by design or resilience by intervention 

can prepare for recovery and adaptation 

in different threat scenarios as well as 

in threat-agnostic situations. 

Examples of domains and application 

of interest include but are not limited to 

critical infrastructure and systems for 

energy, transportation, medical, 

agriculture, water, space, 

manufacturing, and other R&D topic 

areas in which the strategic plan should 

focus, as well as details that should be 

considered when/if the topic area is 

elaborated in the strategic plan. 

This RFI is NOT soliciting approaches 

solely focused on risk assessment and 

management through shielding cyberphysical systems from specific threats 

including threat identification and 

sensing, or through hardening the 

system to make it less vulnerable to 

specific threat or disruptions. 

Submitters are encouraged to address 

the topics of this RFI clearly and 

concisely.

II. Background 

The ADVANCE Act was signed into 

law by President Biden on July 9, 2024. 

The Act, which can be found at https:// 

www.congress.gov/118/bills/s870/BILLS118s870enr.pdf, contains a variety of 

requirements relevant to the NRC. They 

address a wide range of NRC activities, 

such as the NRC’s budgeting process, 

recruitment and retention of the NRC 

workforce, reduced fee rates for 

advanced nuclear reactor applicants and 

pre-applicants, the regulatory 

framework for advanced reactors and 

fusion technology, as well as strategies 

to enhance the NRC’s efficient, timely, 

and predictable reviews of license 

applications. The Act also requires the 

NRC to provide reports to Congress on 

various topics. The NRC has initiated 

implementation of the Act and will be 

taking additional actions to carry out the 

Act’s provisions, including 

requirements with deadlines over the 

course of the next few years. 

III. Discussion 

The ADVANCE Act requires the NRC 

to take a number of actions while 

maintaining the NRC’s core mission to 

protect public health and safety and 

promote the common defense and 

security. The NRC is undertaking 

multiple actions to implement the 

requirements of the ADVANCE Act and 

meet the Act’s various deadlines. The 

NRC will periodically hold public 

meetings on the NRC’s efforts to 

implement the ADVANCE Act. The NRC 

may make preliminary material, such as 

white papers, available to support 

stakeholder engagement during public 

meetings. If preliminary material is 

released to support a public meeting on 

ADVANCE Act implementation, 

information about the preliminary 

material will be included in the 

corresponding public meeting notice. 

The information discussed at the public 

meetings and any preliminary material 

made publicly available may be 

incomplete in one or more respects; 

however, the NRC welcomes diverse 

stakeholder feedback to inform its 

efforts to implement the ADVANCE Act. 

Public meetings to support the NRC’s 

implementation of the ADVANCE Act 

will be noticed in the NRC’s Public 

Meeting Notice System at least 10 days 

in advance of the scheduled meeting. 

The NRC will not issue a Federal 

Register notice each time a public 

meeting is scheduled. Please monitor 

the public web page. 

Feedback on the NRC’s 

implementation of the ADVANCE Act 

can also be provided via the publicly 

available feedback form on the NRC’s 

ADVANCE Act website at https://

www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/governing-laws/ 

advance-act/contactus.html, or via 

email through ADVANCEAct.Resource@nrc.gov. The NRC 

cautions you not to include identifying 

or contact information that you do not 

want to be publicly disclosed in your 

submission provided through this 

feedback form or email address. The 

NRC will enter the submissions into 

ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely 

edit comment submissions to remove 

identifying or contact information. 

If you are requesting or aggregating 

comments from other persons for 

submission to the NRC, then you should 

inform those persons not to include 

identifying or contact information that 

they do not want to be publicly 

disclosed in their comment submission. 

Your request should state that the NRC 

does not routinely edit comment 

submissions to remove such information 

before making the comment 

submissions available to the public or 

entering the comment into ADAMS. 

Submissions received will be 

considered as part of the NRC’s 

implementation of the ADVANCE Act, 

and whether the NRC responds to the 

submission may depend on the nature 

of the question or comment. 

Submissions may be used or modified 

by the NRC in the NRC’s 

implementation of the ADVANCE Act 

without attribution to the author of the 

submission.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2024–0151] 

Draft Interim Staff Guidance: 

Contamination Control, Radiological 

Survey, and Dose Modeling 

Considerations To Support License 

Termination at Sites With 

Environmental Discrete Radioactive 

Particle Contamination 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft guidance; request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is soliciting public 

comment on its draft Interim Staff 

Guidance (ISG), DUWP–ISG–03, ‘‘Draft 

Interim Staff Guidance on 

Contamination Control, Radiological 

Survey, and Dose Modeling 

Considerations to Support License 

Termination at Sites with 

Environmental Discrete Radioactive 

Particle Contamination.’’ The draft ISG 

addresses contamination control, 

radiological surveys, and dose modeling 

regarding discrete radioactive particles 

(DRPs) that are found in the 

environment due to an unplanned 

release or that potentially could be 

released to the environment during 

decommissioning. If finalized, this ISG 

would allow staff to develop consistent 

guidance regarding contamination 

control, particularly focused on nondiffuse contamination, during the 

decommissioning process, as well as 

provide acceptable survey approaches 

and dose methods for discrete 

radioactive particles until the 

appropriate NRC regulatory guidance 

can be updated. 

DATES: Submit comments by October 28, 

2024. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the Commission is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods 

however, the NRC encourages electronic 

comment submission through the 

Federal rulemaking website. 

• Federal rulemaking website: Go to 

https://www.regulations.gov and search 

for Docket ID NRC–2024–0151. Address
