NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2015–0220] 

Seismic Design Classification for 

Nuclear Power Plants 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Plants.’’ This RG describes a method 

that the staff of the NRC considers 

acceptable for use in identifying and 

classifying those features of light-waterreactor nuclear power plants that must 

be designed to withstand the effects of 

the safe-shutdown earthquake. Revision 

6 corrects a minor error in the 

numbering of the elements in Section C, 

‘‘Staff Regulatory Guidance.’’

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

The NRC is issuing a revision to an 

existing 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. 

II. Additional Information 

RG 1.29, Revision 6 corrects a minor 

error in the numbering within the 

Section C, ‘‘Staff Regulatory Guidance.’’ 

What was C.1.i became C.2. This results 

in C.2 becoming C.3 and C.3 became 

C.4. In addition, RG 1.29 was 

reformatted to conform with the current 

template for Regulatory Guides. 

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 RG 1.29 does not 

constitute backfitting as defined in 

Section 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘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 issue finality of any 

approval issued under 10 CFR part 52, 

‘‘Licenses, Certificates, and Approvals 

for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ As explained 

in this regulatory guide, applicants and 

licensees would not be required to 

comply with the positions set forth in 

this RG.

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, information 

regarding 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 issues or postulated 

events, and data that the staff needs in 

its review of applications for permits 

and licenses. 

This proposed Revision 3 to RG 1.91, 

entitled ‘‘Evaluations of Explosions 

Postulated to Occur at Nearby Facilities 

and on Transportation Routes Near 

Nuclear Power Plants,’’ is temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1388 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21105A439). 

The staff is also issuing for public 

comment a draft regulatory analysis 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21105A438). 

The NRC published Revision 2 of RG 

1.91, ‘‘Evaluations of Explosions 

Postulated to Occur on Transportation 

Routes near Nuclear Power Plants,’’ in 

April 2013 to provide licensees and 

applicants with agency-approved 

guidance regarding methods acceptable 

to the NRC staff for determining if the 

risk of damage at the site caused by an 

accidental explosion at a nearby facility 

or on a transportation route is 

sufficiently high to warrant a detailed 

investigation to ensure safety-related 

systems, structures, and components are 

unaffected. The current version of RG 

1.91 (Revision 2) does not reflect the 

changes and updates with respect to the 

following NRC report or current 

methodologies as appropriate. 

This proposed revision (Revision 3) 

reflects updates with information 

pertinent to addressing the 

recommendations of the NRC report 

entitled, ‘‘Report of the U.S. Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission Expert 

Evaluation Team on Concerns 

Pertaining to Gas Transmission Lines 

Near the Indian Point Nuclear Power 

Plant.’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20100F635) issued in April 2020 and 

current methodologies as appropriate. 

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

DG–1388, if finalized, would not 

constitute backfitting as defined in 

section 50.109 of title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

‘‘Backfitting,’’ and as described in NRC 

Management Directive (MD) 8.4, 

‘‘Management of Backfitting, Forward 

Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information 

Requests’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18093B087); would not constitute 

forward fitting as that term is defined 

and described in MD 8.4; and would not 

affect the issue finality of any approval 

issued under 10 CFR part 52, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certificates, and Approvals for Nuclear 

Power Plants.’’ As explained in DG– 

1388, applicants and licensees are not 

required to comply with the positions 

set forth in DG–1388.
