          - [NRC-2009-0226]

# 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.”
