II. Rulemaking Procedure 

Because the NRC anticipates that this 

action will be non-controversial, the 

NRC is publishing this proposed rule 

concurrently with a direct final rule in 

the Rules and Regulations section of this 

issue of the Federal Register. The direct 

final rule will become effective on 

December 6, 2021. However, if the NRC 

receives significant adverse comments 

on this proposed rule or environmental 

assessment by October 22, 2021, then 

the NRC will publish a document that 

withdraws the direct final rule and will 

subsequently address the comments 

received in any final rule as a response 

to this proposed rule. Absent significant 

52620 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Proposed Rules 

modifications to the proposed revisions 

requiring republication, the NRC does 

not intend to initiate a second comment 

period on this action in the event the 

direct final rule is withdrawn. 

A significant adverse comment is a 

comment in which the commenter 

explains why the rule (including the 

environmental assessment) would be 

inappropriate, including challenges to 

the rule’s underlying premise or 

approach, or would be ineffective or 

unacceptable without a change. A 

comment is adverse and significant if it 

meets the following criteria: 

(1) The comment opposes the rule and 

provides a reason sufficient to require a 

substantive response in a notice-andcomment process. For example, a 

substantive response is required when: 

(a) The comment causes the NRC to 

reevaluate (or reconsider) its position or 

conduct additional analysis; 

(b) The comment raises an issue 

serious enough to warrant a substantive 

response to clarify or complete the 

record; or 

(c) The comment raises a relevant 

issue that was not previously addressed 

or considered by the NRC. 

(2) The comment proposes a change 

or an addition to the rule, and it is 

apparent that the rule would be 

ineffective or unacceptable without 

incorporation of the change or addition. 

(3) The comment causes the NRC to 

make a change (other than editorial) to 

the rule. 

For additional information, including 

procedural information, see the direct 

final rule published in the Rules and 

Regulations section of this issue of the 

Federal Register. 

III. Background 

The NRC is amending the design 

certification (DC) for the AP1000 

standard plant design to extend the 

duration of the DC for 5 years, as 

proposed by the NRC staff in SECY–20– 

0082, ‘‘Rulemaking Plan to Extend the 

Duration of the AP1000 Design 

Certification,’’ dated September 8, 2020 

(‘‘rulemaking plan’’), and approved by 

the Commission in SRM–SECY–20– 

0082, dated November 17, 2020. To 

issue this extension, the NRC must 

conclude that the standard design 

continues to meet the applicable 

standards and requirements of the 

Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended 

(the AEA), and the Commission’s 

regulations. This action would allow an 

applicant to reference the AP1000 

design certification while the 

Commission considers potential 

changes to the duration and renewal of 

future and currently valid design 

certifications more broadly in a 

separate, ongoing rulemaking 

(Alignment of Licensing Processes and 

Lessons Learned from New Reactor 

Licensing NRC–2009–0196; RIN 3150– 

AI66). The NRC also is updating the DC 

to reflect changes provided by 

Westinghouse Electric Company LLC 

(Westinghouse), by letter dated March 

19, 2021 (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML21081A023). 

The purpose of the amendment is to 

extend by 5 years the period that the 

AP1000 DC is valid for referencing by 

an applicant and to include design 

changes previously approved by the 

NRC in multiple combined license 

proceedings. The extended duration 

would align with the extended renewal 

period previously granted by the NRC to 

Westinghouse for the AP1000 DC in its 

exemption issued by letter dated 

February 14, 2018 (ADAMS Accession 

No. ML17265A099). With this proposed 

duration extension, the AP1000 DC 

would remain valid for referencing until 

February 27, 2026. 

The AP1000 DC in appendix D, 

‘‘Design Certification Rule for the 

AP1000 Design,’’ to part 52, ‘‘Licenses, 

Certifications, and Approvals for 

Nuclear Power Plants,’’ of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

expired on February 27, 2021. By letter 

dated June 26, 2020, Westinghouse 

requested that the NRC extend the 

duration of the AP1000 DC by 5 years, 

retroactive to the expiration date. 

IV. Discussion 

In the rulemaking plan, the NRC staff 

acknowledged that there were known 

design issues that it would need to 

assess in the rulemaking to determine 

their impact on the necessary safety and 

environmental findings. The following 

five aspects of the design were 

discovered to have issues after the NRC 

updated the design certification rule to 

incorporate Revision 19 of the AP1000 

design control document (DCD) 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML11171A500) 

on December 30, 2011: (1) Passive core 

cooling system containment condensate 

return, (2) main control room dose, (3) 

main control room heatup, (4) hydrogen 

vent inspections, tests, analyses, and 

acceptance criteria (ITAAC), and (5) 

neutron flux logic operating bypass. 

Combined license holders and 

applicants have previously referenced 

and resolved these five design issues, 

and the NRC has approved the same 

changes to address the issues in 

multiple combined license applications 

and amendments. 

After the NRC staff began assessing 

the known design issues for the 

rulemaking, Westinghouse indicated its 

preference to update the design to 

reflect the changes made in the previous 

applications referencing the AP1000 

design. By letter dated March 19, 2021 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML21081A023), 

Westinghouse submitted applicable 

AP1000 DCD markups and references 

that illustrate how: (1) The five issues 

have been corrected based on 

construction of the current AP1000 

reactors for Southern Nuclear Company 

Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, Units 3 

and 4, and (2) Westinghouse has marked 

up the referenced DCD in accordance 

with those changes. The NRC staff used 

these references to verify the 

Westinghouse submitted DCD markups 

are the same as the design changes the 

NRC has previously reviewed and 

approved to address the design issues. 

The NRC staff verified, as 

documented in the NRC staff’s 

Verification Evaluation Report, that the 

corrected information provided in the 

markups is the same as has been 

previously reviewed and approved by 

the NRC for various combined license 

and license amendment applications. In 

reviewing those applications, the NRC 

staff determined that the design changes 

resolved the identified design issues, 

met the applicable regulations, and that 

the design as modified met the 

applicable requirements of the AEA and 

the NRC’s regulations. Neither the 

applicable provisions of the AEA nor 

the NRC’s regulations have changed 

since those applications were approved. 

Therefore, the NRC concludes that the 

relevant safety findings reached in the 

NRC staff reviews of those prior 

applications apply to the AP1000 design 

changes incorporated by the direct final 

rule and that the standard design, as 

modified by those changes, meets the 

applicable standards of the AEA and the 

NRC’s regulations. 

V. Plain Writing 

The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. 

L. 111–274) requires Federal agencies to 

write documents in a clear, concise, and 

well-organized manner that also follows 

other best practices appropriate to the 

subject or field and the intended 

audience. The NRC has written this 

document to be consistent with the 

Plain Writing Act as well as the 

Presidential Memorandum, ‘‘Plain 

Language in Government Writing,’’ 

published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 31885). 

The NRC requests comment on the 

proposed rule with respect to clarity 

and effectiveness of the language used. 

VI. Environmental Assessment and 

Final Finding of No Significant Impact 

The NRC has determined under the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended (NEPA), and the 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 181 / Wednesday, September 22, 2021 / Proposed Rules 52621 

NRC’s regulations in subpart A, 

‘‘National Environmental Policy Act— 

Regulations Implementing Section 

102(2),’’ of 10 CFR part 51, 

‘‘Environmental Protection Regulations 

for Domestic Licensing and Related 

Regulatory Functions,’’ that this 

proposed rule, if issued, would not be 

a major Federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment and, therefore, an 

environmental impact statement is not 

required. The NRC’s generic 

determination in this regard, reflected in 

§ 51.32(b)(1), is based upon the 

following considerations. A design 

certification rule does not authorize the 

siting, construction, or operation of a 

facility referencing any particular 

design, but only codifies a standard 

design certification in a rule (extending 

the AP1000 design certification and 

incorporating changes to the design in 

this case). The NRC will evaluate the 

environmental impacts and issue an 

environmental impact statement as 

appropriate under NEPA as part of the 

application for the construction and 

operation of a facility referencing any 

particular design certification rule. 

Comments on the environmental 

assessment will be limited to the 

consideration of severe accident 

mitigation design alternatives as 

required by § 51.30(d). The 

environmental assessment is available 

as indicated in the Availability of 

Documents section. 

VII. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This proposed rule does not contain 

any new or amended collections of 

information subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.). Existing collections of 

information were approved by the 

Office of Management and Budget, 

control number 3150–0151. 

Public Protection Notification 

The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, 

and a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless the 

document requesting or requiring the 

collection displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

control number. 

VIII. Voluntary Consensus Standards 

The National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act of 1995, Public 

Law 104–113, requires that Federal 

agencies use technical standards that are 

developed or adopted by voluntary 

consensus standards bodies unless the 

use of such a standard is inconsistent 

with applicable law or otherwise 

impractical. Design certifications are not 

generic rulemakings establishing a 

generally applicable standard with 

which all 10 CFR parts 50 and 52 

nuclear power plant licensees must 

comply. Design certifications are 

Commission approvals of specific 

nuclear power plant designs by 

rulemaking. Furthermore, design 

certifications are initiated by an 

applicant for rulemaking, rather than by 

the NRC. This action does not constitute 

the establishment of a standard that 

contains generally applicable 

requirements. 

IX. Availability of Documents 

The documents identified in the 

following table are available to 

interested persons through one or more
