NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

[NRC-2009-0226]


Office of New Reactors; Interim Staff Guidance on Finalizing 
Licensing Basis Information

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

ACTION: Solicitation of public comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The NRC staff is soliciting public comment on its Proposed 
Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) COL/DC-ISG-011 (Agencywide Documents 
Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML090550772). This 
ISG is to clarify the NRC staff position on finalizing licensing basis 
information at a point during the licensing review, a so-called freeze-
point, and the control of licensing basis information during and 
following the initial review of applications for design certifications 
(DCs) or combined licenses (COLs). The NRC staff issues COL/DC-ISGs to 
facilitate timely implementation of current staff guidance and to 
facilitate activities associated with review of applications for DCs 
and COLs by the Office of New Reactors. The NRC staff intends to 
incorporate the final approved COL/DC-ISG-011 into the next revision of 
Regulatory Guide 1.206, ``Combined License Applications for Nuclear 
Power Plants.''

DATES: Comments must be filed no later than 30 days from the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Comments received 
after this date will be considered, if it is practical to do so, but 
the Commission is able to ensure consideration only for comments 
received on or before this date.
