adjacent to such mines. Mine maps are 

essential to the planning and safe 

operation of the mine. In addition, these 

maps provide a graphic presentation of 

the locations of working sections and 

the locations of fixed surface and 

underground mine facilities and 

equipment, escapeway routes, coal 

haulage and man and materials haulage 

entries and other information essential 

to mine rescue or mine firefighting 

activities in the event of mine fires, 

explosions or inundations of gas or 

water. The information is essential to 

the safe operation of adjacent mines and 

mines approaching the worked out areas 

of active or abandoned mines. Section 

75.372 requires underground mine 

operators to submit three copies of an 

up-to-date mine map to the District 

Manager at intervals not exceeding 12 

months during the operating life of the 

mine. 

Title 30 CFR 75.1204 and 75.1204–1 

require that whenever an underground 

coal mine operator permanently closes 

or abandons a coal mine, or temporarily 

closes a coal mine for a period of more 

than 90 days, the operator must file with 

MSHA a copy of the mine map revised 

and supplemented to the date of 

closure. Maps are retained in a 

repository and are made available to 

mine operators of adjacent properties. 

The maps are necessary to provide an 

accurate record of underground areas 

that have been mined to help prevent 

active mine operators from mining into 

abandoned areas that may contain water 

or harmful gases. 

Title 30 CFR 77.1200, 77.1201, and 

77.1202 require surface coal mine 

operators to maintain an accurate and 

up-to-date map of the mine and 

specifies the information to be shown 

on the map, the acceptable range of map 

scales, that the map be certified by a 

registered engineer or surveyor, and that 

the map be available for inspection by 

the Secretary or his authorized 

representative. These maps are essential 

for the safe operation of the mine and 

provide essential information to 

operators of adjacent surface and 

underground mines. Properly prepared 

and effectively utilized surface mine 

maps can prevent outbursts of water 

impounded in underground mine 

workings and/or inundations of 

underground mines by surface 

impounded water or water and/or gases 

impounded in surface auger mining 

worked-out areas. 

Title 30 CFR 75.373 and 75.1721 

require that after a mine is abandoned 

or declared inactive and before it is 

reopened, mine operations must not 

begin until MSHA has been notified and 

has completed an inspection. Section 

75.1721 specifies that once the mine 

operator notifies the MSHA District 

Manager of the intent to reopen a mine 

all preliminary plans must be submitted 

in writing and approved prior to 

development of the coalbed. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA is soliciting comments

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. 

Revision 0 of RG 3.76 was issued with 

a temporary identification of Draft 

Regulatory Guide, DG–3055. It describes 

an approach that is acceptable to the 

staff of the NRC by endorsing, with 

clarifications, the Nuclear Energy 

Institute (NEI) guidance in NEI 14–03, 

Revision 2, ‘‘Format, Content and 

Implementation Guidance for Dry Cask 

Storage Operations-Based Aging 

Management,’’ issued December 2016. 

II. Additional Information 

The NRC published a notice of the 

availability of DG–3055 (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML20282A298), in the 

Federal Register on December 11, 2020 

(85 FR 80193), for a 45-day public 

comment period. The public comment 

period closed on January 25, 2021. The 

staff received one public comment 

submission on DG–3055. 

This RG is a new RG 3.76 that 

describes an approach that is acceptable 

to the staff of the NRC by endorsing, 

with clarifications, the Nuclear Energy 

Institute (NEI) guidance in NEI 14–03, 

Revision 2, ‘‘Format, Content and 

Implementation Guidance for Dry Cask 

Storage Operations-Based Aging 

Management,’’ issued December 2016. 

This new RG provides guidance to 

industry for complying with and 

implementing the requirements for 

spent fuel storage renewals in Part 72 of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Licensing 

Requirements for the Independent 

Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, HighLevel Radioactive Waste, and ReactorRelated Greater Than Class C Waste.’’ 

This guidance addresses renewal of 

ISFSI specific licenses and CoCs for 

spent fuel storage cask designs in 10 

CFR 72.42, ‘‘Duration of license; 

renewal,’’ and 10 CFR 72.240, 

‘‘Conditions for spent fuel storage cask 

renewal,’’ respectively. 

The guidance specifically addresses 

the format and content of spent fuel 

storage renewal applications and the 

implementation of aging management 

programs (AMPs). The guidance uses an 

operations-focused approach to aging 

management, in which operating 

experience is shared through an 

industry database and continually 

assessed to adjust AMPs, as needed and 

within regulatory limits, to ensure the 

effectiveness of aging management 

activities during the period of extended 

operation and the continued safe storage 

of spent fuel.
