High-Level Guidelines for Performance-Based Activities

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is requesting public comment on its proposed high-level guidelines for developing performance-based activities. The guidelines would be used to assess NRC regulatory activities for performance-based approaches. Specifically, the guidelines are designed to assess whether candidate regulatory activities are amenable to a performance-based approach; identify those regulatory activities that should utilize performance- based approaches based on opportunities for regulatory improvement; and ensure consistency with the NRC's existing high-level regulatory goals and principles. Before it uses these proposed high-level guidelines, the staff plans to hold public meetings to obtain stakeholder input and to meet with the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) and/or Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste (ACNW) to obtain their feedback on the guidelines.
