Once a participant has obtained a 

digital ID certificate and a docket has 

been created, the participant can then 

submit a request for hearing or petition 

for leave to intervene. Submissions 

should be in Portable Document Format 

(PDF) in accordance with NRC guidance 

available on the NRC’s public Web site 

at http://www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html. A filing is considered 

complete at the time the documents are 

submitted through the NRC’s E-Filing 

system. To be timely, an electronic 

filing must be submitted to the E-Filing 

system no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern 

Time on the due date. Upon receipt of 

a transmission, the E-Filing system 

time-stamps the document and sends 

the submitter an email notice 

confirming receipt of the document. The 

E-Filing system also distributes an email 

notice that provides access to the 

document to the NRC’s Office of the 

General Counsel and any others who 

have advised the Office of the Secretary 

that they wish to participate in the 

proceeding, so that the filer need not 

serve the documents on those 

participants separately. Therefore, 

applicants and other participants (or 

their counsel or representative) must 

apply for and receive a digital ID 

certificate before a hearing request/

petition to intervene is filed so that they 

can obtain access to the document via 

the E-Filing system. 

A person filing electronically using 

the NRC’s adjudicatory E-Filing system 

may seek assistance by contacting the 

NRC Meta System Help Desk through 

the ‘‘Contact Us’’ link located on the 

NRC’s public Web site at http://

www.nrc.gov/site-help/esubmittals.html, by email to 

MSHD.Resource@nrc.gov, or by a tollfree call at 1–866–672–7640. The NRC 

Meta System Help Desk is available 

between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., Eastern 

Time, Monday through Friday, 

excluding government holidays. 

Participants who believe that they 

have a good cause for not submitting 

documents electronically must file an 

exemption request, in accordance with 

10 CFR 2.302(g), with their initial paper 

filing requesting authorization to 

continue to submit documents in paper 

format. Such filings must be submitted 

by: (1) First class mail addressed to the 

Office of the Secretary of the 

Commission, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission, Washington, DC 20555– 

0001, Attention: Rulemaking and 

Adjudications Staff; or (2) courier, 

express mail, or expedited delivery 

service to the Office of the Secretary, 

Sixteenth Floor, One White Flint North, 

11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, 

Maryland 20852, Attention: Rulemaking 

and Adjudications Staff. Participants 

filing a document in this manner are 

responsible for serving the document on 

all other participants. Filing is 

considered complete by first-class mail 

as of the time of deposit in the mail, or 

by courier, express mail, or expedited 

delivery service upon depositing the 

document with the provider of the 

service. A presiding officer, having 

granted an exemption request from 

using E-Filing, may require a participant 

or party to use E-Filing if the presiding 

officer subsequently determines that the 

reason for granting the exemption from 

use of E-Filing no longer exists. 

Documents submitted in adjudicatory 

proceedings will appear in the NRC’s 

electronic hearing docket which is 

available to the public at http://

ehd1.nrc.gov/ehd/, unless excluded 

pursuant to an order of the Commission, 

or the presiding officer. Participants are 

requested not to include personal 

privacy information, such as social 

security numbers, home addresses, or 

home phone numbers in their filings, 

unless an NRC regulation or other law 

requires submission of such 

information. However, a request to 

intervene will require including 

information on local residence in order 

to demonstrate a proximity assertion of 

interest in the proceeding. With respect 

to copyrighted works, except for limited 

excerpts that serve the purpose of the 

adjudicatory filings and would 

constitute a Fair Use application, 

participants are requested not to include 

copyrighted materials in their 

submission.

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 such information 

as 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 problems or 

postulated accidents, and data that the 

staff needs in its review of applications 

for permits and licenses. 

The DG, entitled, ‘‘Sizing of Large 

Lead Acid Storage Batteries’’ is 

temporarily identified by its task 

number, DG–1311. This DG–1311 is 

proposed revision 1 of RG 1.212. This 

DG endorses, with certain clarifications, 

IEEE Standard 485–2010, ‘‘IEEE 

Recommended Practice for Sizing LeadAcid Batteries for Stationary 

Applications.’’ This DG describes 

methods acceptable to the staff for 

complying with the design requirements 

for stationary battery applications in full 

float operation for nuclear power plants. 

Copies of IEEE standards may be 

purchased from the Institute of 

Electrical and Electronics Engineers 

Service Center, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 

1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855, or through 

the IEEE’s public Web site at http://

www.ieee.org/publications_standards/ 

index.html. 

III. Backfitting and Issue Finality 

Issuing of this DG, if finalized, would 

not constitute backfitting as defined in 

§ 50.109 of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), (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 DG on 

current holders of Part 50 operating 

licenses or Part 52 combined licenses. 

This DG, if finalized, could be applied 

to applications for operating licenses 

and combined licenses docketed by the 

NRC as of the date of issuance of the 

final RG, as well as future applications 

for operating licenses and combined 

licenses submitted after the issuance of 

the RG. Such action would not 

constitute backfitting as defined in 10 

CFR 50.109(a)(1) or be otherwise 

inconsistent with the applicable issue 

finality provision in 10 CFR part 52, 

inasmuch as such applicants or 

potential applicants, with exceptions 

not applicable here, are not within the 

scope of entities protected by the Backfit 

Rule or the relevant issue finality 

provisions in part 52.
