risk from accidents that could affect 

multiple modules in facilities with 

small modular integral pressurized 

water reactors (iPWRs), (6) additional 

review procedures for the staff’s review 

of the results of the PRA for non-power 

modes of operation, and (7) several 

editorial changes to ensure that there is 

no confusion between text in this SRP 

section and text in the ASME/ANS PRA 

Standard currently endorsed by the NRC 

and referenced in this SRP section. The 

ISG DC/COL–ISG–003 and ISG DI&C/

COL–ISG–003 have now been 

superseded by SRP 19.0, Revision 3 and 

should no longer be used. The ISG DC/ 

COL–ISG–020 contains guidance for 

COL holders which has not been 

superseded by SRP 19.0, Revision 3 and 

should still be used by COL holders. 

II. Backfitting and Issue Finality 

Issuance of this final SRP does not 

constitute backfitting as defined in 10 

CFR 50.109 (the Backfit Rule) or 

otherwise be inconsistent with the issue 

finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. 

The NRC’s position is based upon the 

following considerations: 

1. The SRP positions, does not 

constitute backfitting, inasmuch as the 

SRP is internal guidance to NRC staff. 

The SRP provides internal guidance 

to the NRC staff on how to review an 

application for NRC regulatory approval 

in the form of licensing. Changes in 

internal staff guidance are not matters 

for which either nuclear power plant 

applicants or licensees are protected 

under either the Backfit Rule or the 

issue finality provisions of 10 CFR part 

52. 

2. The NRC staff has no intention to 

impose the SRP positions on existing 

licensees either now or in the future. 

The NRC staff does not intend to 

impose or apply the positions described 

in the draft SRP to existing licenses and 

regulatory approvals. Hence, the 

issuance of a final SRP—even if 

considered guidance within the purview 

of the issue finality provisions in 10 

CFR part 52—need not be evaluated as 

if it were a backfit or inconsistent with 

issue finality provisions. If, in the 

future, the NRC staff seeks to impose a 

position in the SRP on holders of 

already issued licenses in a manner that 

does not provide issue finality as 

described in the applicable issue finality 

provision, then the staff must make the 

showing as set forth in the Backfit Rule 

or address the criteria for avoiding issue 

finality as described in the applicable 

issue finality provision. 

3. Backfitting and issue finality do 

not—with limited exceptions not 

applicable here—protect current or 

future applicants. 

Applicants and potential applicants 

are not, with certain exceptions, 

protected by either the Backfit Rule or 

any issue finality provisions under 10 

CFR part 52. Neither the Backfit Rule 

nor the issue finality provisions under 

10 CFR part 52, with certain exclusions, 

were intended to apply to every NRC 

action that substantially changes the 

expectations of current and future 

applicants. The exceptions to the 

general principle are applicable 

whenever an applicant references a 10 

CFR part 52 license (e.g., an early site 

permit) and/or NRC regulatory approval 

(e.g., a design certification rule) with 

specified issue finality provisions. 

The exceptions to the general 

principle are applicable whenever an 

applicant references a 10 CFR part 52 

license (e.g., an early site permit) and/ 

or NRC regulatory approval (e.g., a 

design certification rule) with specified 

issue finality provisions. The NRC staff 

does not, at this time, intend to impose 

the positions represented in the draft 

SRP in a manner that is inconsistent 

with any issue finality provisions. If, in 

the future, the staff seeks to impose a 

position in the draft SRP in a manner 

that does not provide issue finality as 

described in the applicable issue finality 

provision, then the staff must address 

the criteria for avoiding issue finality as 

described in the applicable issue finality 

provision. 

III. Congressional Review Act 

In accordance with the Congressional 

Review Act, the NRC has determined 

that this action is not a major rule and 

has verified this determination with the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs of the Office of Management and 

Budget. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 21st day 

of January, 2016.
