SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

The NRC is issuing a new guide in the 

NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This 

series was developed to describe and 

make available to the public information 

regarding methods that are acceptable to 

the NRC staff for implementing specific 

parts of the agency’s regulations, 

techniques that the NRC staff uses in 

evaluating specific issues or postulated 

events, and data that the NRC staff 

needs in its review of applications for 

permits and licenses. 

RG 4.26 was issued with a temporary 

identification of Draft Regulatory Guide, 

DG–4028. 

II. Additional Information 

The NRC published a notice of the 

availability of DG–4028 in the Federal 

Register on March 20, 2020 (85 FR 

16147) for a 60-day public comment 

period. The public comment period 

closed on May 19, 2020. Public 

comments on DG–4028 and the staff 

responses to the public comments are 

available in ADAMS under Accession 

No. ML20272A169. 

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 and Issue Finality 

Issuance of this RG does not 

constitute backfitting as defined in

Management Directive 8.4,

approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ As explained 

in this regulatory guide, applicants and 

licensees are not required to comply 

with the positions set forth in this

or requested: Monthly, once (at time of 

award), and on occasion (when changes 

occur). 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

respond: Contractors and bidders. 

7. The estimated number of annual 

responses: 6,258 (6,112 reporting 

responses + 146 recordkeepers). 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 535. 

9. The estimated number of hours 

needed annually to comply with the 

information collection requirement or 

request: 17,412 (14,834 reporting +
