NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION


Announcement of Public Workshop on License Renewal Continuing 
Guidance Development

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Notice of public workshop.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will 
hold a public workshop on implementation of Title 10 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, (10 CFR) part 54, ``Requirements for Renewal of 
Operating Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants'' (the

[[Page 61932]]

license renewal rule) and Part 51 (environmental issues). The purpose 
of the workshop is to exchange information between applicant, the NRC 
staff reviewers, and other stakeholders that will lead to enhancing the 
license renewal application (LRA) in a manner that provides the most 
efficient review by the NRC staff and enhances public confidence. The 
workshop is intended to allow for an open exchange between the 
stakeholders. It will provide an opportunity to discuss lessons learned 
in the license renewal process. On day one, part 54 is discussed, and 
on the second day, part 51 is discussed.
    The NRC staff will consider the comments received from the workshop 
participants to improve the license renewal guidance documents NUREG-
1800, ``Standard Review Plan for Review of License Renewal Applications 
for Nuclear Power Plants'', NUREG 1801, ``Generic Aging Lessons Learned 
(GALL) report,'' and Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.188 ``Standard Format and 
Content for Applications to Renew Nuclear Power Plant Operating 
Licenses.'' NEI will consider the comments to improve NEI 95-10, 
``Industry Guideline for Implementing the Requirements of 10 CFR part 
54--The License Renewal Rule,'' as appropriate.
    The workshop will be conducted in a roundtable format to allow for 
interaction between presenters and attendees. This is a Category 3 
Meeting. The public is invited to participate in this meeting by 
providing comments and asking questions throughout the meeting.

DATES: October 22, 2002, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; October 23, 2002, 9 a.m. to 
12 noon.
