NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

Final Interim Staff Guidance DI&C-ISG-03: Probabilistic Risk
Assessment Information To Support Design Certification and Combined
License Applications
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Interim staff guidance; withdrawal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing its
Final Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) DI&C-ISG-03, ``Interim Staff
Guidance on Review of New Reactor Digital Instrumentation and Control
Probabilistic Risk Assessment.'' This ISG served to supplement the
guidance provided to the staff in Section 19.0, ``Probabilistic Risk
Assessment and Severe Accident Evaluation for New Reactors,'' of NUREG-
0800, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports
for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,'' concerning the probabilistic
risk assessment associated with review of new reactor digital
instrumentation and control to support the review of design
certification and combined license (COL) applications. The NRC staff
issues ISG to facilitate timely implementation of the current staff
guidance and to facilitate activities associated with review of
applications for DC and COLs by the Office of New Reactors. The NRC
staff incorporated the approved DI&C-ISG-03 into Revision 3 to Section
19.0 of NUREG-0800 dated January 2016. With the issuance of Revision 3
to Section 19.0 of NUREG-0800, the staff has determined that DI&C-ISG-
03 is no longer necessary and should be withdrawn.
DATES: The date of the withdrawal of Final Interim Staff Guidance DI&C-
ISG-03 is May 17, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 11, 2008, the staff issued its
Final Interim Staff Guidance, DI&C-ISG-03, ``Interim Staff Guidance on
Review of New Reactor Digital Instrumentation and Control Probabilistic
Risk Assessment'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML080570048). This document is
being withdrawn because on January 21, 2016, the staff issued Revision
3 to Section 19.0 of NUREG-0800 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15085A093),
incorporating the guidance of DI&C ISG-03 and, therefore, superseding
it. Therefore, as of the date of this notice, DI&C-ISG-03 is withdrawn.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of May 2019.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,
Jennivine K. Rankin,
Acting Chief, Licensing Branch 3, Division of Licensing, Siting, and
Environmental Analysis, Office of New Reactors.
