operating experience, inspection 

findings, enforcement actions, Security 

Frequently Asked Questions, and other 

regulatory documents (e.g., generic 

communications). This RG clarifies DBT 

advesary characteristics and capabilities 

identified through interactions with 

stakeholders and inspection activities 

since the original publication of the 

guide. 

II. Additional Information 

Revision 1 to RG 5.69 contains SGI. 

Accordingly, this RG is being withheld 

from public disclosure. It will be made 

available to those affected licensees and 

cleared stakeholders who have an 

established need-to-know for access to 

the RG. The NRC did not announce the 

availaibility of the draft RG for public 

comment because the guide contains 

SGI and Official Use Only—SecurityRelated Information. Nonetheless, the 

NRC is issuing this notice to inform the 

public of the issuance of the final RG. 

On December 23, 2015, the NRC 

issued an email (Agencywide 

Documents Access and Management 

System (ADAMS) Accession No. 

ML16007A567) transmitting the draft 

RG for comment to cleared stakeholders 

who demonstrated a need-to-know for 

access to the document. The 

stakeholder’s comment period closed on 

March 7, 2016. The NRC received 

several comments from stakeholders. 

The comments and the associated 

comment resolution contain SGI and are 

not available to the public. In addition, 

per Staff Requirements Memorandum 

(SRM)—SECY–18–0110, ‘‘Proposed 

Revision to Regulatory Guide 5.69, 

‘‘Guidance for the Application of the 

Radiological Sabotage Design-Basis 

Threat for Nuclear Power Reactors,’’ ’’ 

dated November 18, 2021 (Non-Publicly 

Available), staff completed the 

Commission’s approved edits to the 

document as appropriate. 

For access to RG 5.69, Revision 1, 

contact the individuals listed in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

III. Congressional Review Act 

This RG 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. 

IV. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

This RG provides updated guidance 

on the methods acceptable to the NRC 

staff for complying with the NRC’s 

regulations associated with the designbasis threat for nuclear power reactors. 

The RG applies to current licensees and 

future applicants for, and holders of: 

• Operating licenses for nuclear 

power reactors under part 50 of title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR); and combined licenses for nuclear 

power reactors under 10 CFR part 52; 

• operating licenses for nuclear 

power reactors that are required to 

protect safeguards information regulated 

by the Commission by Order EA–03– 

086, ‘‘Order Requiring Compliance with 

Revised Design Basis Threat for 

Operating Power Reactors,’’ dated April 

29, 2003; and 

• operating licenses for nuclear 

power reactors that are required to 

protect safeguards information regulated 

by the Commission by Order EA–06– 

037, ‘‘Order Requiring Compliance with 

Updated Adversary Characteristic,’’ 

dated March 20, 2006. 

Issuance of this RG does not 

constitute backfitting as defined in 10 

CFR 50.109, ‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as 

described in NRC Management Directive 

(MD) 8.4, ‘‘Management of Backfitting, 

Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and 

Information Requests;’’ constitute 

forward fitting as that term is defined 

and described in MD 8.4; or affect the 

issue finality of any approval issued 

under 10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, 

certifications, and approvals for nuclear 

power plants.’’ As explained in the RG, 

licensees are not required to comply 

with the positions set forth in this RG, 

and the NRC staff does not intend to use 

the guidance in this RG to support NRC 

staff actions in a manner that would 

constitute backfitting or forward fitting 

or affect the issue finality of any 

approval issued under 10 CFR part 52. 

If, in the future, the NRC seeks to 

impose a position in this RG in a 

manner that constitutes backfitting or 

forward fitting or affects the issue 

finality for a 10 CFR part 52 approval, 

then the NRC will address the 

backfitting provision in 10 CFR 50.109, 

the forward fitting provision of MD 8.4, 

or the applicable issue finality provision 

in 10 CFR part 52, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

February 14, 2022, the Postal Service 

filed a request pursuant to 39 U.S.C. 

3642 and 39 CFR 3045.18 to modify the 

Mail Classification Schedule (MCS) by 

adding Extended Mail Forwarding as a 

permanent offering to the market 

dominant product list and establishing 

classification language and prices for 

Extended Mail Forwarding.1

The Postal Service explains that the 

Commission authorized the market test 

in Order No. 5591 on July 20, 2020.2

The test was initially introduced in nine 

postal districts, but on October 1, 2020, 

the test was expanded nationwide.3 The 

Postal Service states that the test proved 

successful and proposes to add 

Extended Mail Forwarding to its Market 

Dominant Products: Special Services: 

Address Management Services, under 

section 1515.1 of its MCS. Request at 1– 

2. The Postal Service states that 

Extended Mail Forwarding provides

12 months forwarding period. Id. at 2. 

It claims that the test demonstrated 

simple operational implementation 

providing customers who move greater 

control over their mail forwarding 

expiration dates. The Postal Service also 

indicates the addition provides a new 

revenue stream and has reduced 

Undeliverable as Addressed handling 

costs. Id. 

According to the Postal Service, 

Extended Mail Forwarding meets the 

requirements of 39 CFR 3045.18(b) by 

offering the same services as the 

experimental product with the same 

distinct costs and market characteristics, 

and is based on the data collected 

during the market test. Id. at 2–3. 

The Postal Service also claims the 

proposed product complies with 39 CFR 

3045.18(c) because the product and 

price category is the same as the product 

at the heart of the market test. Id. at 3. 

The price points will be $19.95 for a 6- 

month extension, $29.95 for a 12-month 

extension, and $39.95 for an 18-month 

extension. Id. at 3. 

The Postal Service states that, as a 

new offering, Extended Mail Forwarding 

does not have price cap implications 

since it lacks volume history and billing 

determinants that could be used to 

calculate a price cap effect and that it is 

not a rate change subject to 39 U.S.C. 

3622(d).4 It also points out Extended 

Mail Forwarding is a new optional 

feature and does not divert volumes 

from an existing product by which 

volumes could be inferred. Request at 

3–4. In addition, pursuant to the 

requirement in 39 CFR 3045.18(c)(3), 

the Postal Service claims that the market 

will remain stable into the permanent 

phase. Id. at 4. The Postal Service states 

that the market test generated 

cumulative total revenue of almost 

$42.2 million. Id. The Postal Service 

also claims the product-specific costs 

associated with the development of the 

Extended Mail Forwarding market test 

were $505,983.29, including program 

management and IT-related costs, and 

have been relatively stable from quarter 

to quarter. Id. at 4–5. 

Included as Attachment A to the 

Request is proposed MCS language. 

Included as Attachment B are data 

collection reports filed during the 

market test as required by 39 CFR 

3045.18(c)(4). Included as Attachment C 

is the Governors’ resolution authorizing 

the Request. The Postal Service explains 

that it would like to implement the 

product on July 10, 2022, to align 

Extended Mail Forwarding with other IT 

programming changes, and thus 

requests the Commission issue a final 

order no later than May 16, 2022. Id. at 

5. 

Pursuant to rule 3040.133, the 

Commission provides interested persons 

an opportunity to express views and 

offer comments on the proposed 

addition to the MCS. Comments are due 

no later than March 7, 2022. Reply 

comments may be filed no later than 

March 14, 2022. The Postal Service’s 

Request in Docket No. MC2022–40 can
