SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

The National Aeronautics and Space 

Administration (NASA) is committed to 

effectively performing the Agency’s 

communication function in accordance 

with the Space Act Section 203(a)(3) to 

‘‘provide for the widest practicable and 

appropriate dissemination of 

information concerning its activities and 

the results there of,’’ and to enhance 

public understanding of, and 

participation in, the nation’s space 

program in accordance with the NASA 

Strategic Plan. The Space Act of 1958, 

directs the Agency to expand human 

knowledge of Earth and space 

phenomena. Organizing outreach events 

is one way NASA intends to leverage 

excitement about the nation’s space 

program and expand human knowledge 

of Earth and space phenomena. In order 

to organize effective outreach events 

and registration opportunities for 

members of the public, it is necessary to 

collect information from perspective 

guests and those that will check-in the 

guests at events. The NASA Special 

Events System is a tool to allow invitees 

to register for and check-in to NASA 

event opportunities (launch viewing, 

agency engagements, etc.) in a single 

location. 

II. Methods of Collection 

The NASA Special Events tool is a 

web-based application on a Salesforce 

platform that enables the NASA 

OCOMM team to manage guest 

information, communication, and 

reporting agency-wide. The intent of 

using electronic collection techniques is 

to increase the accuracy of information 

gathered and to streamline the process 

for guests and workforce alike.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2023–0145] 

Interim Staff Guidance: Radiological 

Survey and Dose Modeling of the 

Subsurface To Support License 

Termination 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final guidance; issuance. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing the 

Division of Decommissioning, Uranium 

Recovery, and Waste Programs (DUWP), 

Interim Staff Guidance (ISG), DUWP– 

ISG–02, ‘‘Radiological Survey and Dose 

Modeling of the Subsurface to Support 

License Termination.’’ The purpose of 

this ISG is to provide guidance on 

surveys of open surfaces in the 

subsurface, including open excavations, 

materials planned for reuse, and 

substructures. This ISG also provides 

guidance on the use of commonly used 

decommissioning dose modeling codes 

for submerged and partially submerged 

substructures to develop clean-up 

levels, and on methods to evaluate risk 

from existing groundwater 

contamination. This ISG supplements 

guidance found in NUREG–1757, 

Volume 2, Revision 2, which pertains to 

licensees subject to the license 

termination rule found in NRC 

regulations. This ISG is intended for use 

by applicants, licensees, and NRC staff. 

The guidance is also available to 

Agreement States and the public. 

DATES: This guidance is effective on 

October 28, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The NRC is issuing this ISG to 

supplement guidance provided in 

NUREG–1757, Volume 2, Revision 2, 

‘‘Consolidated Decommissioning 

Guidance, Characterization, Survey, and 

Determination of Radiological Criteria,’’ 

which was issued in July 2022 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML22194A859). The ISG 

provides additional guidance developed 

after Revision 2 to NUREG–1757, 

Volume 2, was published related to 

surveys of open surfaces in the 

subsurface, including open excavations, 

materials planned for reuse, and 

substructures. The ISG also provides 

guidance on the use of commonly used 

decommissioning dose modeling codes 

to develop clean-up levels for 

submerged and partially submerged 

substructures, and on methods to 

evaluate risk from existing groundwater 

contamination. NRC staff held two 

subsurface investigations workshops on 

July 14–15, 2021, and May 11, 2022, to 

help support the development of this 

ISG, and contracted with Oak Ridge 

Associated Universities to develop 

guidance on acceptable survey methods. 

On October 19, 2023, the NRC issued 

a Federal Register notice (88 FR 72112) 

soliciting public comment on its draft 

ISG, ‘‘Radiological Survey and Dose 

Modeling of the Subsurface to Support 

License Termination.’’ The NRC 

received comments from the Nuclear 

Energy Institute, by letter dated 

December 13, 2023 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML24009A037); EnergySolutions, 

by letter dated December 18, 2023 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML23353A243); 

and the State of New Jersey Department 

of Environmental Protection, by email 

dated December 21, 2023 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML24009A080). No other 

comments were submitted. The NRC 

staff considered those comments in 

developing the final version of the ISG. 

The staff’s responses to the comments 

are provided in Appendix D, ‘‘Comment 

Responses,’’ of the final ISG. The NRC 

also issued a draft Regulatory Analysis 

for the draft ISG for public comment 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML23177A009). 

No comments were received on the draft 

Regulatory Analysis. The final 

Regulatory Analysis is available in 

ADAMS under ML24200A233. 

II. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

Issuance of this ISG will not (i) 

constitute backfitting as defined in 

sections 50.109, 70.76, or 72.62 of title 

10 of the Code of Federal Regulations 

(10 CFR), ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as 

described in Management Directive 

(MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, 

Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and 

Information Requests’’; (ii) affect issue 

finality of any approval issued under 10 

CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, Certifications, 

and Approvals for Nuclear Power 

Plants’’; or (iii) constitute forward fitting 

as that term is defined and described in 

MD 8.4. This ISG states the NRC staff’s 

position on acceptable methods for 

surveys of open surfaces in the 

subsurface, including open excavations, 

materials planned for reuse, and 

substructures, as well as guidance on 

the use of commonly used 

decommissioning dose modeling codes 

for submerged and partially submerged 

substructures to develop clean-up 

levels, and on methods to evaluate risk 

from existing groundwater 

contamination. Applicants and 

licensees will not be required to comply 

with the positions set forth in this ISG. 

III. Congressional Review Act 

This ISG is a rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 

801–808). However, the Office of 

Management and Budget has not found 

it to be a major rule as defined in the 

Congressional Review Act.
