Dear Mr. Chairman:
Enclosed for the information of the subcommittee is a copy of a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to be published in the Federal Reaister allowing 30 days for public comment. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing to amend its regulations on power reactor safety in order to consistently apply the requirement that nuclear power plant licensees submit final safety analysis report (FSAR) updates annually or six months after each refueling outage. On August 31, 1992, the NRC amended 10 CFR 50.71(e) to allow licensees to submit the FSAR revisions annually or six months after each refueling outage.
However, paragraph (a)(3) of 10 CFR 50.54 refers to the submittal of quality assurance program descriptions at least annually in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.71 and paragraph (b) of 10 CFR 54.37 refers to the annual FSAR submittal.
The amendments to 10 CFR Parts 50 and 54 would' eliminate confusion and make the references to the requirement of FSAR update submittals in these two sections consistent with the amended 10 CFR 50.71(e).
The proposed rule would not require a backfit-and would not require additional reporting requirements.
Sincerely, Qd Dennis K. Rathbun, Director Office of Congressional Affairs
