observations, fostering communitybased participatory research, and the 

integral contributions of Indigenous 

knowledge in the co-production and 

dissemination of knowledge. 

IARPC requests input from the public 

on how best to revise and strengthen the 

Principles for the Conduct of Research 

in the Arctic (https://www.nsf.gov/geo/ 

opp/arctic/conduct.jsp), on how to 

disseminate the Principles, and on 

supporting the implementation of the 

Principles. Collaboration is needed at all 

stages of research planning, 

implementation, and reporting of 

projects that directly affect northern 

communities. Cooperation will 

contribute to a better understanding of 

the potential benefits of Arctic research 

for northern residents and will enhance 

the development of Arctic science by 

including Indigenous knowledge and 

experience. 

IARPC is interested in all suggestions 

for how to improve the Principles and 

information about how consultation and 

collaboration are working. The Working 

Group leading this effort drafted the 

following list of questions to consider. 

We welcome input on these issues and 

any others the public deems relevant. 

• What are the most important 3–5 

principles for researchers to follow? 

• What elements of the Principles 

should be retained? 

• What are ways in which 

engagement between researchers and 

communities can be improved? 

• How can the Principles be made 

more widely known to researchers and 

to northern residents? 

The effort to revise the Principles is 

intended to collect input from the 

broadest set of stakeholders on the 

Principles document to include 

northern residents, Alaska Native 

communities, other Arctic Indigenous 

peoples, researchers, state and federal 

agency representatives, and others.

Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel 

Dry Storage Systems and Facilities 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft NUREG; request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft NUREG, NUREG–2215, 

‘‘Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel 

Dry Storage Systems and Facilities.’’ 

This Standard Review Plan (SRP) 

provides guidance to the NRC staff for 

reviewing Safety Analysis Reports 

(SARs) for (1) a Certificate of 

Compliance (CoC) for a dry storage 

system (DSS) for use at a general license 

facility, and (2) a specific license for a 

dry storage facility (DSF) that is either 

an independent spent fuel storage 

installation (ISFSI) or a monitored 

retrievable storage installation (MRS). 

This draft SRP will replace NUREG– 

1536, ‘‘Standard Review Plan for Dry 

Cask Storage Systems,’’ NUREG–1567, 

‘‘Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel 

Dry Storage Facilities, and all Interim 

Staff Guidance (ISGs) that were used to
