[Federal Register Volume 82, Number 219 (Wednesday, November 15, 2017)] [Notices] [Pages 52944-52945] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2017-24734] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION [NRC-2017-0211] Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Systems and Facilities AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission. ACTION: Draft NUREG; request for comment. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft NUREG, NUREG-2215, ``Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Systems and Facilities.'' This Standard Review Plan (SRP) provides guidance to the NRC staff for reviewing Safety Analysis Reports (SARs) for (1) a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for a dry storage system (DSS) for use at a general license facility, and (2) a specific license for a dry storage facility (DSF) that is either an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) or a monitored retrievable storage installation (MRS). This draft SRP will replace NUREG-1536, ``Standard Review Plan for Dry Cask Storage Systems,'' NUREG-1567, ``Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities, and all Interim Staff Guidance (ISGs) that were used to enhance these NUREGs. DATES: Submit comments by January 2, 2018. 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 before this date. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:Federal Rulemaking Web site: Go to http://www.regulations.gov and search for Docket ID NRC-2017-0211.

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 The NRC utilizes information that is currently contained in multiple documents (NUREG-1536, NUREG-1567, and numerous ISGs) to assist the NRC staff in its reviews of spent fuel storage applications. The NRC's intent in combining and updating these documents into one document is to assist the NRC staff in its reviews by promoting a consistent regulatory review of a SAR for an ISFSI or a MRS license, or for a CoC; by promoting quality and uniformity of these reviews across each technical discipline; presenting a basis for the review's scope; identifying acceptable approaches to meeting regulatory requirements; and suggesting possible evaluation findings that can be used in the safety evaluation report for applications submitted under part 72 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. By this action, the NRC is requesting public comments on draft NUREG-2215. The NRC invites comments on all portions of this SRP that the commenter thinks the NRC should consider. The NRC will make a final determination regarding issuance of the NUREG after it considers any public comments received in response to this request. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day of November 2017. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
