This ISG would provide guidance for addressing new emergency planning (EP) requirements for nuclear power plants based on proposed changes to EP regulations in Title 10, "Energy," Part 50, "Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities," of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 50), specifically Section 50.47, "Emergency Plans," and Appendix E, "Emergency Planning and Preparedness for Production and Utilization Facilities" (reference RIN 3150-AI10). The NRC staff will modify the ISG as necessary for consistency with the final EP rule as part of the overall comment resolution process for the ISG and EP rule changes. Additional guidance on topics not directly related to the EP final rule, such as integrating offsite response methodologies with onsite EP programs, is also provided in the ISG. Once the EP final rule is published and NRC staff completes the ISG, the staff will issue it for use. The NRC staff will incorporate the updated guidance information in NSIR/DPR- ISG-01 into future revisions of NUREG-0654/FEMA-REP-1, "Criteria for the Preparation and Evaluation of Radiological Emergency Response Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants," and other EP guidance documents. Some NRC EP regulatory requirements are being revised that warrant guidance outside the scope of the proposed ISG. The NRC staff plans to provide additional guidance for addressing proposed changes to Section 50.54(q) concerning emergency plan changes in the form of a new Regulatory Guide (RG), proposed changes to Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 regarding emergency action levels for hostile action events in a revision to RG 1.101, "Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants," and proposed changes to Section 50.47(b)(10) and Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50 regarding updates to evacuation time estimates in the form of a new NUREG/CR document. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is addressing offsite EP guidance changes in support of the proposed EP rule and other offsite EP program issues in a new supplement to NUREG- 0654/FEMA-REP-1, as well as other FEMA documents. These documents will be issued separately for public comment prior to publishing the EP final rule. 74 FR 23221 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2009-05-18/E9-11036 E9-11036 FR18MY09-100 7590-01-P NRC-2008-0122 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2009-05-18/E9-11036 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-05-18/html/E9-11036.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-05-18/pdf/E9-11036.pdf 2 p. 23221 23222 74 FR 23221 Interim Staff Guidance: Emergency Planning for Nuclear Power Plants; Solicitation of Public Comment; Federal Register Vol. 74, Issue NOTICE E9-11036 NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response NRC-2008-0122 7590-01-P E9-11036 Announcement of issuance for public comment, availability.
