comments for NRC staff consideration of 

the revised license renewal guidance 

documents. 

The public comment period closed on 

March 31, 2005, without the submission 

of any stakeholder comments. However, 

in response to the exceptions stated in 

DG–1140, NEI issued Revision 6 of NEI–

95–10 in June 2005 4 to accept the NRC 

staff’s position with respect to those 

issues, thereby rendering the staff’s two 

exceptions unnecessary. Having 

reviewed this latest revision of NEI 95–

10, the NRC staff finds Revision 6 

acceptable for use in implementing the 

license renewal rule, without 

exceptions, as discussed in Revision 1 

of Regulatory Guide 1.188. Applicants 

may meet the intent of the license 

renewal rule using methods other than 

those provided in Revision 6 of NEI 95–

10; however, the NRC staff will 

determine the acceptability of such 

methods on a case-by-case basis. 

The NRC staff encourages and 

welcomes comments and suggestions in 

connection with improvements to 

published regulatory guides, as well as 

items for inclusion in regulatory guides 

that are currently being developed. You 

may submit comments by any of the 

following methods.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Standard Review Plan for Review of LR 

Applications for Nuclear Power Plants, 

Rev. 1 

The NRC staff revised the July 2001 

version of NUREG–1800, ‘‘Standard 

Review Plan for Review of License 

Renewal Applications for Nuclear 

Power Plants’’ (SRP–LR). The SRP–LR 

provides guidance to NRC staff 

reviewers in performing safety reviews 

of applications to renew licenses of 

nuclear power plants in accordance 

with the license renewal rule. The SRP–

LR, Revision 1, is under ADAMS 

Accession number ML052110007. The 

SRP–LR is revised to incorporate 

lessons learned from the review of a 

number of previous license renewal 

applications, as well as to make changes 

corresponding to the update of the 

GALL Report. The SRP–LR, Revision 1, 

contains four major chapters: (1) 

Administrative Information; (2) Scoping 

and Screening Methodology for 

Identifying Structures and Components 

Subject to Aging Management Review, 

and Implementation Results; (3) Aging 

Management Review Results; and (4) 

Time-Limited Aging Analyses. In 

addition, three Branch Technical 

Positions are in an Appendix to the 

SRP–LR, Revision 1. 

Generic Aging Lessons Learned (GALL) 

Report, Revision 1 

The Generic Aging Lessons Learned 

(GALL) Report, Revision 1, is an update 

to the July 2001 version; the report 

format is largely unchanged. The GALL 

Report, Revision 1, Volumes 1 and 2, are 

available under ADAMS Accession 

number ML052110005 and 

ML052110006, respectively. The 

adequacy of the generic aging 

management programs in managing 

certain aging effects for particular 

structures and components will 

continue to be evaluated based on the 

review of the following ten program 

elements: (1) Scope of program; (2) 

preventive actions; (3) parameters 

monitored or inspected; (4) detection of 

aging effects; (5) monitoring and 

trending; (6) acceptance criteria; (7) 

corrective actions; (8) confirmation 

process; (9) administrative controls; and 

(10) operating experience. The GALL 

Report is a technical basis document for 

the SRP–LR and should be treated in the 

same manner as an approved topical 

report that is applicable generically. 

Analysis of Public Comments on the 

Revised LR Guidance Documents 

On February 1, 2005, the NRC 

announced (70 FR 5254) the issuance 

for public comment and availability a 

draft of ‘‘Standard Review Plan for 

Review of License Renewal 

Applications for Nuclear Power Plants’

and a draft ‘‘Generic Aging Lessons 

Learned (GALL) Report.’’ The NRC also 

announced a public workshop that was 

held on March 2, 2005, to facilitate 

gathering public comment on the draft 

documents. NUREG–1832 contains the 

NRC response to stakeholders’

comments. The dispositions are 

prepared in a table format and 

contained in five appendices. Appendix 

A addresses the specific written 

comments submitted by the Nuclear 

Energy Institute (NEI), Appendix B 

addresses the comments from the 

Advisory Committee on Reactor 

Safeguards (ACRS), Appendix C 

addresses the participant comments 

from the license renewal public 

workshop on March 2, 2005, Appendix 

D addresses the written comments 

submitted by other public stakeholders, 

and Appendix E provides a comparison 

of the aging management review line 

items from the January 2005 GALL 

Report to the September 2005 GALL 

Report.

RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD 

Proposed Data Collection Available for 

Public Comment and 

Recommendations 

Summary: In accordance with the 

requirement of section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

which provides opportunity for public 

comment on new or revised data 

collections, the Railroad Retirement 

Board (RRB) will publish periodic 

summaries of proposed data collections. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed information collection is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information has practical 

utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of the information; (c) ways to enhance 

the quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

ways to minimize the burden related to 

the collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

Title and purpose of information 

collection: RRB Form DC–1, Employer’s 

Quarterly Report of Contributions Under 

the Railroad Unemployment Insurance 

Act; OMB 3220–0012. 

Under Section 8 of the Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA), 

as amended by the Railroad 

Unemployment Improvement Act of 

1988 (Public Law 100–647), the amount 

of each employer’s contribution is 

determined by the RRB, primarily on 

the basis of RUIA benefit payments 

made to the employees of that employer. 

These experienced based contributions, 

take into account the frequency, volume 

and duration of RUIA benefits, both 

unemployment and sickness, 

attributable to a railroad’s employees. 

Each employer’s contribution rate 

includes a component for administrative 

expenses and a component to cover 

costs shared by all employers. The 

regulations prescribing the manner and 

conditions for remitting the 

contributions and for adjusting 

overpayments or underpayments of 

contributions are contained in 20 CFR 

345. 

RRB Form DC–1, Employer’s 

Quarterly Report of Contributions Under 

the Railroad Unemployment Insurance 

Act, is currently utilized by the RRB for 

the reporting and remitting of quarterly 

contributions by railroad employers. 

The RRB utilizes a manual version of 

Form DC–1 and also provides railroad 

employers with the option of reporting 

the required information and remitting 

their quarterly contributions via an 

Internet equivalent version Form DC–1. 

The RRB estimates that 2,160 

responses are received annually. One 

response is requested quarterly of each 

respondent. Completion is mandatory. 

The RRB proposes no changes to Form 

DC–1. The estimated completion for the 

manual and Internet version of Form 

DC–1 is estimated at 25 minutes. 

Additional Information or Comments: 

To request more information or to 

obtain a copy of the information 

collection justification, forms, and/or 

supporting material, please call the RRB 

Clearance Officer at (312) 751–3363 or 

send an e-mail request to 

Charles.Mierzwa@RRB.GOV. Comments

should be addressed to Ronald J.
