The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing the withdrawal of several Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) documents associated with fuel cycle facilities. These documents are being withdrawn because the guidance contained in the documents have since been incorporated into NUREG-1520, ``Standard Review Plan for Fuel Cycle Facilities License Applications.''

License Applications.''

DATES: The withdrawal of the Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards, and 
Environmental Review ISG documents were issued on December 4, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The NRC is withdrawing select Fuel Cycle Safety, Safeguards, and 
Environmental Review ISG documents because the content was incorporated 
in NUREG-1520, ``Standard Review Plan for Fuel Cycle Facilities License 
Applications'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML15176A258). The content in NUREG-
1520 supersedes the original ISG and therefore these documents are 
being withdrawn. In some instances, the ISG was incorporated in its 
entirety and at other times only sections that were still relevant at 
the date of publish were included. The following ISG documents are 
being withdrawn:
    FCSS-ISG-01, ``Qualitative Criteria for Evaluation of Likelihood'' 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML051520236), was incorporated in NUREG-1520, 
Chapter 3, Appendix B, ``Qualitative Criteria for Evaluation of 
Likelihood.''
    FCSS-ISG-03, ``Nuclear Criticality Safety Performance Requirements 
and Double Contingency Principle'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML050690302), 
was incorporated in NUREG-1520, Chapter 5, Appendix A, ``Nuclear 
Criticality Performance Requirements and Double-Contingency 
Principle.''
    FCSS-ISG-05, ``Additional Reporting Requirements of 10 CFR 70.74'' 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML053630228), is superseded by NUREG-1520, Chapter 
5, Section 5.4.1, ``Nuclear Criticality Safety; Acceptance Criteria; 
Regulatory Requirements.''
    FCSS-ISG-08, ``Natural Phenomena Hazards'' (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML052650305), was incorporated into NUREG-1520, Chapter 3, Appendix D, 
``Natural Phenomena Hazards.''
    FCSS-ISG-09, ``Initiating Event Frequencies'' (ADAMS Accession No. 
ML051520323), was incorporated into NUREG-1520, Chapter 3, Appendix C, 
``Initiating Event Frequency.''
    FCSS-ISG-10, ``Justification for Minimum Margin of Subcriticality 
for Safety'' (ADAMS Accession No. ML061650370), was incorporated into 
NUREG-1520, Chapter 5, Appendix B, ``Justification for Minimum Margin 
of Subcriticality for Safety.''
