licensees, under certain conditions, may 

make changes to their facilities and 

procedures as described in the final 

safety analysis report (FSAR) (as 

updated) (also referred to as the updated 

final safety analysis report), and 

conduct tests or experiments not 

described in the FSAR (as updated), 

without obtaining a license amendment 

pursuant to NRC requirements. 

DATES: Revision 3 to RG 1.187 is 

available on June 11, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Discussion 

The NRC is issuing a revision 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. 

RG 1.187, Revision 3, ‘‘Guidance for 

Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, 

‘Changes, Tests, and Experiments,’ ’’ 

addresses a clarification to the RG in 

response to post-promulgation 

comments on RG 1.187, Revision 2 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML20125A730). 

Specifically, this Revision (i.e., Revision 

3) adds an additional clarification in 

section C.2.e of the RG related to the 

Human Factors Engineering screening 

examples in NEI 96–07, Appendix D, 

Revision 1, ‘‘Supplemental Guidance for 

Application of 10 CFR 50.59 to Digital 

Modifications,’’ (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML20135H168), that discuss an increase 

in response time. 

II. Additional Information 

Proposed Revision 2 of RG 1.187 was 

issued with a temporary identification 

of Draft Regulatory Guide (DG)–1356 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML19045A435). 

The NRC published a notice of the 

availability of DG–1356 in the Federal 

Register on May 30, 2019 (84 FR 25077) 

for a 45-day public comment period. 

The public comment period closed on 

July 15, 2019. Public comments on DG– 

1356 and the staff responses to the 

public comments are available in 

ADAMS under Accession No. 

ML20125A729. Based on the public 

comments, subsequent public meetings, 

and revisions to NEI 96–07, Appendix 

D, the NRC revised the proposed 

Revision 2 of RG 1.187 and issued the 

final Revision 2 on July 7, 2020 (85 FR 

40696), with a 30-day postpromulgation public comment period. 

Revision 2 of RG 1.187 endorsed NEI 

96–07, Appendix D, Revision 1, as a 

means for complying with the 

requirements of section 50.59 of title 10 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 

CFR), ‘‘Changes, tests and experiments’’ 

when conducting digital 

instrumentation and control (I&C) 

modifications, with certain 

clarifications. The post-promulgation 

public comment period closed on 

August 6, 2020. Post-promulgation 

public comments on RG 1.187, Revision 

2 and the staff responses to the postpromulgation public comments are 

available under ADAMS under 

Accession No. ML21109A001. 

The NRC notes that a nonconcurrence on RG 1.187, Revision 2, 

was submitted and entered the NonConcurrence Process (NCP) under 

tracking number of NCP–2020–005. The 

NCP form and attachments are available 

in ADAMS under Accession No. 

ML20197A381. 

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, Forward Fitting, and 

Issue Finality 

Revision 3 of RG 1.187 provides 

guidance on complying with the 

requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 when 

performing a digital I&C modification. 

As explained in RG 1.187, Revision 3, 

licensees are not required to comply 

with the positions set forth in this 

regulatory guide. Therefore, RG 1.187, 

Revision 3, does 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’’; 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.’’ If, in the 

future, the NRC were to impose a 

position in this RG 1.187, Revision 3, in 

a manner that would constitute 

backfitting or forward fitting or affect 

the issue finality for a part 52 approval, 

then the NRC would address the 

backfitting provision in 10 CFR 50.109, 

the forward fitting provision of MD 8.4, 

or the applicable issue finality provision 

in part 52, respectively.
