Dear Mr. Chairman:
I 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 i
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 amendma.nts to 10 CFR Parts 50 and 54 would' eliminate confusion and make the raferences 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 i
reporting requirements.
Sincerely, i
