SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Obtaining Information and Submitting Comments

A. Obtaining Information

    Please refer to Docket ID NRC-2015-0149 when contacting the NRC 
about the availability of information regarding this document. You may 
obtain publicly-available information related to this document by any 
of the following methods:
     Federal Rulemaking Web site: Go to http://www.regulations.gov and search for Docket ID NRC-2015-0149.
     NRC's Agencywide Documents Access and Management System 
(ADAMS): You may obtain publicly-available documents online in the 
ADAMS Public Documents collection at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To begin the search, select ``ADAMS Public Documents'' and 
then select ``Begin Web-based ADAMS Search.'' For problems with ADAMS, 
please contact the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR) reference staff at 
1-800-397-4209, 301-415-4737, or by email to pdr.resource@nrc.gov. The 
ADAMS accession number for each document referenced (if it is available 
in ADAMS) is provided the first time that it is mentioned in the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section. The draft cornerstone technical 
document is available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML15140A644.
     NRC's PDR: You may examine and purchase copies of public 
documents at the NRC's PDR, Room O1-F21, One White Flint North, 11555

B. Submitting Comments

    Please include Docket ID NRC-2015-0149 in your comment submission.
    The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact 
information that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your 
comment submission. The NRC will post all comment submissions at http://www.regulations.gov as well as enter the comment submissions into 
ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove 
identifying or contact information.
    If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons 
for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to 
include identifying or contact information that they do not want to be 
publicly disclosed in their comment submission. Your request should 
state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to 
remove such information before making the comment submissions available 
to the public or entering the comment submissions into ADAMS.

II. Discussion

    In the Staff Requirements Memorandum for SECY-11-0140, 
``Enhancements to the Fuel Cycle Oversight Process,'' dated January 5, 
2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120050322), the Commission directed the NRC 
staff to develop a Revised Fuel Cycle Oversight Process (RFCOP). A 
portion of the RFCOP is the identification of cornerstones. The 
cornerstones are those aspects of licensee performance that are 
important to the mission and, therefore, merit regulatory oversight. 
The draft cornerstone technical document defines the cornerstones that 
will be used in the RFCOP and defines for each cornerstone, its 
objective and key

[[Page 33304]]

attributes that implement the objective. Each key attribute has one or 
more inspectable areas. Inspectable areas are those aspects of the 
physical facility or the licensee's programs or processes that need to 
be verified to assure that a key attribute of a cornerstone is 
achieved.
    The NRC is soliciting public comment on its draft cornerstone 
technical document that will be used as a portion of the RFCOP. The NRC 
staff will consider any public comments prior to finalizing the 
cornerstone technical document for the RFCOP.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 4th day of June 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Marissa Bailey,
Director, Division of Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards and Environmental 
Review, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards.
