10. Abstract: The NRC regulations in 

10 CFR part 73 prescribe requirements 

to establish and maintain a physical 

protection system and security 

organization with capabilities for 

protection of: (1) Special nuclear 

material (SNM) at fixed sites, (2) SNM 

in transit, and (3) plants in which SNM 

is used. 10 CFR part 73 contains 

reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements which are necessary to 

help ensure that an adequate level of 

protection is provided for nuclear 

facilities and nuclear material, such as: 

Development and maintenance of 

security documents including a physical 

security plan, a training and 

qualification plan, a safeguards 

contingency plan, a cyber security plan, 

and security implementing procedures; 

notifications to the NRC regarding 

safeguards and cyber security events; 

notifications to state governors and 

tribes of shipments of irradiated reactor 

fuel; and requirements for conducting 

criminal history records checks of 

individuals granted unescorted access to 

a nuclear power facility, a non-power 

reactor, or access to Safeguards 

Information. The objective is to ensure 

that activities involving special nuclear 

material are consistent with interests of 

common defense and security and that 

these activities do not constitute an 

unreasonable risk to public health and 

safety. The information in the reports 

and records submitted by licensees is 

used by the NRC staff to ensure that the 

health and safety of the public and the 

environment are protected, and licensee 

possession and use of special nuclear 

material is in compliance with license 

and regulatory requirements. 

III. Specific Requests for Comments 

The NRC is seeking comments that 

address the following questions: 

1. Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the NRC to 

properly perform its functions? Does the 

information have practical utility? 

2. Is the estimate of the burden of the 

information collection accurate? 

3. Is there a way to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected? 

4. How can the burden of the 

information collection on respondents 

be minimized, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology? 

Dated: June 14, 2021.

II. Discussion 

HDI has the authority to conduct 

licensed activities under Provisional 

License No. DPR–5, Renewed Facility 

License No. DPR–26, and Renewed 

Facility License No. DPR–64 for the 

IPEC and the general license for the 

IPEC independent spent fuel storage 

installation. These licenses provide, 

among other things, that the respective 

facilities are subject to all rules, 

regulations, and orders of the NRC now 

or hereafter in effect. The facilities 

consist of three pressurized-water 

reactors located in Buchanan, New 

York, in Westchester County, all of 

which are permanently shutdown. 

On December 19, 2019, HDI submitted 

to the NRC the PSDAR for the IPEC, 

contingent upon the transfer of the IPEC 

licenses to HDI (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML19354A698). Paragraph 50.82(a)(4)(i) 

of title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) states that a 

PSDAR must contain a description of 

the planned decommissioning activities 

along with a schedule for their 

accomplishment, a discussion that 

provides the reasons for concluding that 

the environmental impacts associated 

with site-specific decommissioning 

activities will be bounded by 

appropriate previously issued 

environmental impact statements, and a 

site-specific DCE, including the 

projected cost of managing irradiated 

fuel. The IPEC license transfer 

transaction closed on May 28, 2021. 

Accordingly, pursuant to 10 CFR 

50.82(a)(4)(ii), the NRC is noticing 

receipt of the PSDAR and making it 

available for public comment. 

III. Request for Comment and Public 

Meeting 

The NRC is requesting public 

comments on the PSDAR, including the 

DCE, for the IPEC. The NRC will hold 

a public meeting in the vicinity of the 

IPEC to discuss the PSDAR’s content 

and receive comments. The date, time, 

and location of the meeting will be 

provided in a future Federal Register 

notice. The NRC requests that comments 

that are not provided during the meeting 

be submitted as noted in section I, 

‘‘Obtaining Information and Submitting 

Comments,’’ of this document in writing 

by October 22, 2021. 

Dated: June 15, 2021.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2021–0091] 

Use of Plant Parameter Envelope in 

Early Site Permit Applications 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft regulatory guide; request 

for comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft regulatory guide (DG), 

DG–4029, ‘‘Use of Plant Parameter 

Envelope in Early Site Permit 

Applications.’’ DG–4029 is a new 

regulatory guide that proposes guidance 

for nuclear power plant applicants that 

elect to use the plant parameter 

envelope (PPE) concept to assume 

certain design parameters for an early 

site permit (ESP) application when a 

specific reactor technology has not been 

selected for a proposed site. It 

incorporates the PPE portions of NRC 

Review Standard (RS)–002, ‘‘Processing 

Applications for Early Site Permits.’’ 

The issuance of this DG allows the NRC 

staff to withdraw the outdated guidance 

in RS–002 while retaining the PPE 

information in it for future use by 

prospective ESP applicants. 

DATES: Submit comments by August 9, 

2021. Comments received after this date 

will be considered if it is practical to do 

so, but the NRC is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

Although a time limit is given, 

comments and suggestions in 

connection with items for inclusion in 

guides currently being developed or 

improvements in all published guides 

are encouraged at any time. 

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
