NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2020-0160]
Changes to Subsequent License Renewal Guidance Documents;
Correction
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Draft interim staff guidance; correction; extension of comment
period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 2, 2020, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
solicited comments on three draft interim staff guidance documents
(ISGs) that propose changes to the NRC's subsequent license renewal
guidance documents. Several aging management review (AMR) line items
were inadvertently omitted from the draft mechanical ISG. These omitted
AMR line items are provided in an errata document. The public comment
period was originally scheduled to close on August 3, 2020. The NRC has
decided to extend the public comment period to allow more time for
members of the public to develop and submit their comments.
DATES: The due date of comments requested in the document published on
July 2, 2020 (85 FR 39938) is extended. Comments should be filed no
later than August 10, 2020. Comments received after this date will be
considered, if it is practical to do so, but the Commission is able to
ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:

II. Discussion
On July 2, 2020, the NRC solicited comments on three draft interim
staff guidance documents (ISGs) that propose changes to the NRC's
subsequent license renewal guidance documents (85 FR 39938). The
purpose of the ISGs is to incorporate lessons learned from the NRC
staff's safety reviews of the first three Subsequent License Renewal
Applications (SLRAs) for Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Units 3 and 4,
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Units 2 and 3, and Surry Power
Station, Units 1 and 2. Specifically, the ISGs revise guidance
contained in NUREG-2191, ``Generic Aging Lessons Learned for Subsequent
License Renewal (GALL-SLR) Report,'' and NUREG 2192, ``Standard Review
Plan for Review of Subsequent License Renewal Applications for Nuclear
Power Plants.'' NUREG-2191 and NUREG-2192 were published in July 2017
and are not scheduled to be updated for several years. The proposed
changes to these documents are contained in the three draft ISGs that
update aging management criteria for mechanical, structures, and
electrical portions of the guidance. Several aging management review
(AMR) line items were inadvertently omitted from the draft mechanical
ISG. These omitted AMR line items are provided in an errata document.
The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on August
3, 2020. The NRC has decided to extend the public comment period on
this document until August 10, 2020, to allow more time for members of
the public to submit their comments.
