they do not want to be publicly 

disclosed in their comment 

submissions. Your request should state 

that the NRC does not routinely edit 

comment submissions to remove such 

information before making the comment 

submissions available to the public or 

entering the comment into ADAMS. 

II. Additional Information 

The NRC is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the NRC’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe methods that 

are acceptable to the NRC staff for 

implementing specific parts of the 

agency’s regulations, to explain 

techniques that the staff uses in 

evaluating specific issues or postulated 

events, and to describe information that 

the staff needs in its review of 

applications for permits and licenses. 

This proposed Revision 2 to RG 1.87, 

entitled ‘‘Acceptability of ASME Code 

Section III, Division 5, ‘High 

Temperature Reactors,’’’ is temporarily 

identified by its task number, DG–1380 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21091A276). 

The staff is also issuing for public 

comment a draft regulatory analysis 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21091A277), 

and draft NUREG–2245, ‘‘Technical 

Review of the 2017 Edition of ASME 

Section III, Division 5, ‘High 

Temperature Reactors,’’’ (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML21223A097) that 

documents the NRC staff’s review of the 

2017 Edition of ASME Section III, 

Division 5, certain portions of the 2019 

Edition, and associated Code Cases N– 

861 and N–862. Code Cases N–872 and 

N–898 (‘‘the Alloy 617 Code Cases’’), 

approved by ASME in 2020, are not 

included in this review and are being 

considered for endorsement in a parallel 

effort. 

The NRC published Revision 1 of RG 

1.87, ‘‘Guidance for Construction of 

Class 1 Components in ElevatedTemperature Reactors,’’ in June 1975 to 

provide licensees and applicants with 

agency-approved guidance for 

complying with paragraph 50.55a of 

title 10 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (10 CFR) ‘‘Codes and 

standards,’’ and General Design 

Criterion 1, ‘‘Quality Standards and 

Records.’’ The guide described interim 

licensing guidelines to aid applicants in 

implementing these requirements with 

respect to ASME Class 1 components 

operating at elevated temperatures. 

Specifically, the guide approved, with 

conditions, the initial versions of five 

Code Cases namely, Code Cases 1592– 

0, 1593–0, 1594–0, 1595–0, and 1596–0. 

These five Code Cases are the precursors 

to the other iterations of ASME’s high 

temperature construction rules: Code 

Cases N–47 through N–51; ASME Code, 

Section III, Subsection NH; and 

currently ASME Code, Section III, 

Division 5. The current version of RG 

1.87 (Revision 1) does not reflect the 

changes and updates with respect to 

modern design, fabrication, inspection, 

testing, and overpressure provisions 

(among others) addressed by the 

aforementioned Code iterations, 

research, and operating experience. 

This revision (Revision 2) updates the 

guidance to endorse, with conditions, 

the 2017 Edition of ASME Code Section 

III, Division 5, as a method acceptable 

to the staff for the materials, 

mechanical/structural design, 

construction, testing, and quality 

assurance of mechanical systems and 

components and their supports of hightemperature reactors. This revision of 

the guide also addresses the 

acceptability of the Code Cases N–861 

and N–862, which are related to 

Division 5 of the ASME Code, Section 

III. Draft NUREG–2245 provides the 

technical basis for NRC staff positions 

stated in the DG, including proposed 

exceptions and limitations on the use of 

Division 5. Additionally, this revision 

adds an appendix to the RG namely 

Appendix A, ‘‘High Temperature 

Reactor Quality Group Classification,’’ 

which provides guidance for the quality 

group classification of components in 

non-light water reactor designs. 

III. Backfitting, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

DG–1380 and NUREG–2245, if 

finalized, would 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’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML18093B087); 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, Certificates, and 

Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.’’ 

The guidance would not apply to any 

current licensees or applicants or 

existing or requested approvals under 

10 CFR part 52, and therefore its 

issuance cannot be a backfit or forward 

fit or affect issue finality. Further, as 

explained in DG–1380, applicants and 

licensees would not be required to 

comply with the positions set forth in 

DG–1380.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

Municipal Securities Rulemaking 

Board; Notice of Filing of a Proposed 

Rule Change Consisting of 

Amendments to Rule G–10, on Investor 

and Municipal Advisory Client 

Education and Protection, and Rule G– 

48, on Transactions With Sophisticated 

Municipal Market Professionals, To 

Amend Certain Dealer Obligations 

August 16, 2021. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘Act’’ 

or ‘‘Exchange Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 

thereunder,2 notice is hereby given that 

on August 2, 2021 the Municipal 

Securities Rulemaking Board (‘‘MSRB’’ 

or ‘‘Board’’) filed with the Securities 

and Exchange Commission (‘‘SEC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) the proposed rule 

change as described in Items I, II, and 

III below, which Items have been 

prepared by the MSRB. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

The MSRB filed with the Commission 

a proposed rule change consisting of 

amendments to MSRB Rule G–10, on 

investor and municipal advisory client 

education and protection, and MSRB 

Rule G–48, on transactions with 

sophisticated municipal market 

professionals (‘‘SMMPs’’) (collectively, 

the ‘‘proposed rule change’’). The 

proposed rule change would clarify the 

scope of the requirements for brokers, 

dealers and municipal securities dealers 

(collectively, ‘‘dealers’’) to provide the 

required notifications under Rule G–10 

to those customers who would best be 

served by the receipt of the information 

and make accompanying amendments 

to Rule G–48 to exclude SMMPs from 

certain requirements under Rule G–10.3

If the Commission approves the 

proposed rule change, the MSRB will 

announce the effective date of the 

proposed rule change no later than 10 

days following Commission approval. 

The effective date will be no later than 

30 days following Commission 

approval. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on the MSRB’s website at 

www.msrb.org/Rules-andInterpretations/SEC-Filings/2021- 

Filings.aspx, at the MSRB’s principal 

office, and at the Commission’s Public 

Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, the 

MSRB included statements concerning 

the purpose of and basis for the 

proposed rule change and discussed any 

comments it received on the proposed 

rule change. The text of these statements 

may be examined at the places specified 

in Item IV below. The MSRB has 

prepared summaries, set forth in 

Sections A, B, and C below, of the most 

significant aspects of such statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

Background 

In 2017, the MSRB amended Rule G– 

10 with the goal of, among other things, 

modernizing the rule and extend the 

rule’s application to municipal 

advisors.4 Prior to that time, the rule 

only applied to dealers and required 

dealers to provide a customer with a 

paper copy of the MSRB’s investor 

brochure after a customer had made a 

complaint to the dealer.5 Recognizing 

this requirement did not afford 

customers the best use of the 

information in a timely manner, the 

2017 amendments replaced the postVerDate Sep<11>2014 17:27 Aug 19, 2021 Jkt 253001 PO 00000 Frm 00070 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\20AUN1.SGM 20AUN1
