egister to solicit comments from the public on the PSDAR in accordance with 10 CFR 50.82(a)(4)(ii) and 10 CFR 52.110(d)(2). Additional considerations related to the IFMP are DG-1349 Revision 1, Page 6 discussed in RG 1.184. A copy of the PSDAR will be made available to the electronically through the NRC Library on the NRC’s Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams. The NRC will schedule a public meeting in the vicinity of the site to discuss the licensee’s plans for decontamination and dismantlement of the facility, and the decommissioning timeframe, as well as to hear public comments. Comments received by the NRC staff on the PSDAR will be addressed at the public meeting, and a question and answer period will follow the presentations. The NRC will prepare a written transcript of the meeting and make it available to the public through the Public Document Room and electronically through the NRC Library. To the extent possible, the public meeting should take place within 90 days of the NRC’s receipt of the licensee’s PSDAR submittal. It normally would occur at least 30 days before the 90-day period ends. In addition, the standard practice of the NRC staff when reviewing the PSDAR is to provide an acknowledgment letter to the licensee that summarizes the staff’s understanding of the PSDAR, provides highlights from the public meeting, and categorizes the stakeholder comments received on the PSDAR. The regulations at 10 CFR 50.82(a)(5) and 10 CFR 52.110(e) prohibit a licensee from performing any major decommissioning activities, as defined in 10 CFR 50.2, until 90 days after the NRC has received its PSDAR submission and until the licensee has submitted the certifications of permanent cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel. Although the NRC will assess the PSDAR to determine whether the information is consistent with the requirements in the decommissioning regulations, NRC approval of the PSDAR is not required.
