II. Background

    Following the issuance of EGM 15-002 (ADAMS Accession No, 
ML15111A269), the NRC staff received internal and external stakeholder 
comments requesting clarification in complying with NRC expectations 
for implementing enforcement discretion in accordance with the EGM 15-
002, specifically the implementation of compensatory measures and 
guidance on addressing operability status of equipment once the EGM is 
implemented. Therefore, the NRC staff has developed draft ISG DSS-ISG-
2015-XX, ``Clarification of Licensee Actions in Receipt of Enforcement 
Discretion per Enforcement Guidance Memorandum (EGM) 15-002, 
`Enforcement Discretion for Tornado-generated Missile Protection 
Noncompliance,' '' to provide clarification concerning the 
implementation of EGM 15-002.
    The NRC is requesting public comments on the draft ISG to ensure 
that it provides sufficiently clear guidance to the NRC staff 
concerning expectations for implementation of EGM 15-002.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 27th day of October 2015.
