SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft guide in the agency’s 

‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series 

was developed to describe and make 

available to the public information and 

methods that are acceptable to the NRC 

staff for implementing specific parts of 

the NRC’s regulations, techniques that 

the staff uses in evaluating specific 

problems or postulated accidents, and 

data that the staff needs in its review of 

applications for permits and licenses. 

The draft regulatory guide (DG), 

entitled, ‘‘Standard Format and Content 

of License Applications for Plutonium 

Processing and Fuel Fabrication 

Facilities,’’ is temporarily identified by 

its task number, DG–3038, which 

should be mentioned in all related 

correspondence. DG–3038 is a proposed 

Revision 1 of Regulatory Guide 3.39, 

dated January 1976. 

This guide endorses the standard 

format and content for safety analysis 

reports (SARs) and integrated safety 

analysis (ISA) summaries described in 

the current version of NUREG–1718, 

‘‘Standard Review Plan for the Review 

of an Application for a Mixed Oxide 

Fuel Fabrication Facility,’’ as a method 

that the NRC staff finds acceptable for 

meeting the regulatory requirements. 

Title 10, of the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Part 70, ‘‘Domestic 

Licensing of Special Nuclear Material’’ 

(10 CFR part 70), subpart H, ‘‘Additional 

Requirements for Certain Licensees 

Authorized to Possess a Critical Mass of 

Special Nuclear Material’’ identifies 

risk-informed performance requirements 

for plutonium processing and fuel 

fabrication facilities. It requires 

applicants to complete an ISA and 

submit an ISA summary and other 

information to the NRC for approval. 

II. Further Information 

The NRC staff is soliciting comments 

on DG–3038. Comments may be 

accompanied by relevant information or 

supporting data and should mention 

DG–3038 in the subject line. Comments 

submitted in writing or in electronic 

form will be made available to the 

public in their entirety through the 

NRC’s Agencywide Documents Access 

and Management System (ADAMS). 

Because your comments will not be 

edited to remove any identifying or 

contact information, the NRC cautions 

you against including any information 

in your submission that you do not want 

to be publicly disclosed. 

The NRC requests that any party 

soliciting or aggregating comments 

received from other persons for 

submission to the NRC inform those 

persons that the NRC will not edit their 

comments to remove any identifying or 

contact information, and therefore, they 

should not include any information in 

their comments that they do not want 

publicly disclosed. You may submit 

comments by any of the following 

methods: 

1. Mail comments to: Rulemaking and 

Directives Branch, Division of 

Administrative Services, Mail Stop: 

TWB–05–B01M, Office of

Comments would be most helpful if 

received by September 21, 2009. 

Comments received after that date will 

be considered if it is practical to do so, 

but the NRC is able to ensure 

consideration only for comments 

received on or before this date. 

Although a time limit is given, 

comments and suggestions in 

connection with items for inclusion in 

guides currently being developed or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 30, 2009, GEH submitted an ER 

that addresses the impacts of 

constructing, operating, and 

decommissioning a laser-based uranium 

enrichment facility. GEH proposes to 

locate the facility on the existing 

General Electric Company (GE)/Global 

Nuclear Fuel–Americas (GNF–A) site 

near Wilmington, in New Hanover 

County, North Carolina. The NRC, in 

accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 

amended (NEPA), and NRC regulations 

at 10 CFR Part 51, will prepare an EIS 

evaluating this proposed action. 

On June 26, 2009, GEH completed the 

license application by submitting 

additional information related to facility 

safety and security in accordance with 

the Atomic Energy Act. NRC will 

conduct a 30-day acceptance review to 

determine whether it will accept the 

application for detailed review. If NRC 

accepts the application, publiclyavailable portions of the license 

application will be made available in 

ADAMS. In addition, the project Web 

site at http://www.nrc.gov/materials/ 

fuel-cycle-fac/laser.html will indicate 

how to access publicly-available 

portions of the applicant’s license 

application. Portions of the license 

application that contain proprietary, 

classified, security-related or exportcontrolled information will be withheld 

from public availability. The public 

comment period on the scope of the EIS 

is being extended to allow members of 

the public to review publicly-available 

portions of the license application 

during the scoping period.
