WILLIAM R. GROSS Director, Incident Preparedness 1201 F Street, NW, Suite 1100 Washington, DC 20004 P: 202.739.8123 wrg@nei.org nei.org March 13, 2019 Ms. Maureen E. Wylie Chief Financial Officer U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001
Subject:
Fee Exemption Request for NEI 09-05, Revision 1, Guidance on the Protection of Unattended Openings that Intersect a Security Boundary and Associated Appendices
Dear Ms. Wylie:
The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI),1 on behalf of its members, will be submitting NEI 09-05, Revision 1, Guidance on the Protection of Unattended Openings that Intersect a Security Boundary, and associated appendices for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) review and endorsement. The Definitions and Regulatory Basis sections of NEI 09-05, Revision 1, will be revised to include two-dimensional openings and three-dimensional pathways. This change will clarify for licensees unattended openings requiring physical protections described in 10 CFR 73.55.
NEI requests that the NRC's review of NEI 09-05, Revision 1, and associated appendices and any future submissions of this guidance document be granted a fee waiver pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 170.11. The document meets the exemption requirement in 10 CFR 170.11(a)(1)(ii) in that it will assist the NRC in generic regulatory improvements or efforts (e.g., rules, regulatory guides, regulations, policy statements, generic letters, or bulletins). In this case, NRC review and endorsement of NEI 09-05, Revision 1, and associated appendices will provide a consistent approach to the protection of unattended openings that intersect a security boundary.
1 The Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) is the organization responsible for establishing unified industry policy on matters affecting the nuclear energy industry, including the regulatory aspects of generic operational and technical issues. NEI's members include entities licensed to operate commercial nuclear power plants in the United States, nuclear plant designers, major architect/engineering firms, fuel cycle facilities, nuclear materials licensees, and other organizations and entities involved in the nuclear energy industry.
