Office of New Reactors; Supplement to Interim Staff Guidance; Limited Work Authorizations Solicitation of Public Comment

The NRC is issuing a supplement to its Proposed Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) COL/ESP-ISG-004 for use and comment. This supplemental guidance would be added, along with the resolution of other issues identified in comments received from the public, to COL/ESP-ISG-004 to provide clarifications and examples related to the definition of construction. This additional guidance is intended to clarify the delineation of preconstruction activities and those activities that require prior NRC approval (i.e., construction activities). Upon receiving public comments, the NRC staff will evaluate and disposition the comments, as appropriate. Once the NRC staff completes the COL/ESP-ISG, including this supplemental information, the staff will issue it for use. The NRC staff will also incorporate the approved COL/ESP-ISG-004 into the next revisions of the Regulatory Guide 1.206, "Combined License Applications for Nuclear Power Plants," and related guidance documents.
