SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: On
September 22, 2021 (86 FR 52593), the
NRC published a direct final rule
amending its regulations in part 52 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations to update the design to
reflect changes provided by
Westinghouse Electric Company LLC
and to extend the duration of the
AP1000 design certification for an
additional 5 years.
The NRC received and docketed three
comment submissions on the
companion proposed rule (86 FR 52619;
September 22, 2021). Electronic copies
of the comments can be obtained from
the Federal rulemaking website https://
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID
NRC–2020–0269 and are also available
in ADAMS under Accession Nos.
ML21280A348, ML21293A316, and
ML21293A315.
In the direct final rule, the NRC stated
that if no significant adverse comments
were received, the direct final rule
would become effective on December 6,
2021. The NRC received three comment
submissions. The NRC evaluated the
submissions against the criteria
described in the direct final rule and
determined that the comments were not
significant and adverse or were outside
the scope of the direct final rule.
Specifically, one comment submission
was from an Indian Tribe, and it
requested no further consultation on
this project. A second comment
submission agreed with this rulemaking
and, thus, was not adverse. The third
comment submission did not provide
any comment for the NRC to consider.
Therefore, the direct final rule will
become effective as scheduled.
Dated: November 12, 2021.
