II. The Petitioner

    The petition was filed by David Lochbaum, on behalf of the Union of 
Concerned Scientists and Beyond Nuclear, with one co-petitioner, Paul 
Gunter of Beyond Nuclear.

III. The Petition

    On behalf of the Union of Concerned Scientists and Beyond Nuclear, 
David Lochbaum with co-petitioner Paul Gunter request that the NRC 
amend its regulations to establish acceptable conditions for the use of 
compensatory measures (e.g., fire watches, surveillance cameras) during 
periods when fire protection regulations are not met.

IV. Discussion of the Petition

    The petitioners state that the NRC's ``fire protection regulations 
were primarily established with the issuance of Appendix R to 10 CFR 
part 50 in 1980 and the NFPA [National Fire Protection Association] 805 
alternative regulations adopted in 2004.'' The petitioners are 
referring to the final rule in 1980 that issued appendix R to part 50 
of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) and revised 10 
CFR 50.48 (45 FR 76602; November 19, 1980). The 2004 final rule (69 FR 
33536; June 6, 2004) further revised 10 CFR 50.48 and added alternative 
fire protection regulations based on National Fire Protection 
Association Standard 805, ``Performance-Based Standard for Fire 
Protection for Light Water Reactor Electric Generating Plants.'' The 
petitioners include as ``Figure 1'' in their petition a timeline 
including compensatory measure guidance documents that the NRC has 
issued. The NRC guidance documents from Figure 1 in the petition 
include the following:
    (1) NRC Bulletin 1975-004, ``Cable Fire at Browns Ferry Nuclear 
Power Station,'' March 25, 1975 (ADAMS Accession No. ML070220189);

Measures for Nuclear Power Plant Fire Protection (CARMEN-FIRE),'' Final 
Report, August 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15226A446).
    The petitioners assert that these guidance documents associated 
with the current regulations are deficient for three reasons:
    (1) They are not regulations and, therefore, convey unenforceable 
expectations;
    (2) They create confusion for licensees, NRC inspectors and 
reviewers, and the public about what constitutes an acceptable 
substitute for compliance with fire protection regulations following 
identification of a deficiency, as well as the permissible durations of 
the substitutions; and
    (3) They were not developed through an open process, so the public 
did not have opportunities to weigh in on the acceptability of various 
compensatory measures.
    The petitioners assert that a proposed rulemaking would ensure that 
compensatory measures are used appropriately following a violation in 
fire protection regulations, and that the rulemaking process would 
provide the public the opportunity to weigh in on the appropriateness 
of the use of various compensatory measures before the requirements are 
adopted as final. The petitioners also assert that a final rule would 
clear up any current confusion caused by the guidance documents for the 
NRC's licensees and inspectors and would provide enforceable 
requirements for the NRC.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of October 2017.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Annette L. Vietti-Cook,
Secretary of the Commission.
