SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
The Government Performance and
Results Modernization Act of 2010
requires that an agency’s strategic plan
be updated for submission to the
Congress and the President every 4
years. The NRC has developed a
strategic plan for FY 2014–2018.
The agency’s mission and strategic
goals remain essentially unchanged in
the NRC’s FY 2014–2018 Strategic Plan.
The NRC’s priority continues to be, as
always, to regulate the civilian use of
radioactive materials to protect public
health and safety, promote the common
defense and security, and protect the

PO 00000

Frm 00090

Fmt 4703

environment. The safety goal is to
ensure the safe use of radioactive
materials. The security goal is to ensure
the secure use of radioactive materials.
The challenges that the agency faces
include being prepared to review
applications involving new technologies
such as small modular reactors, medical
isotope production facilities, and
rapidly evolving digital instrumentation
and control systems. The globalization
of nuclear technology and the nuclear
supply chain requires increased
international engagement on the safe
and secure use of radioactive material.
The need for new oversight approaches
will also present challenges to the NRC.
The Strategic Plan also describes the
agency’s cross-cutting strategies for
regulatory effectiveness and openness
and the management objectives for
human capital and information
management and information
technology. The plan establishes the
agency’s long-term strategic direction
and intended outcomes and provides a
foundation to guide the NRC’s work and
to allocate the NRC’s resources.
II. Public Comment Analysis
The draft strategic plan for FY 2014–
2018 was published in the Federal
Register for public comment on March
5, 2014 (79 FR 12531). All comments
were reviewed and considered by the
NRC’s Senior Management in updating
the strategic plan. We received 80
comments from individual members of
the public and from various
organizations. Staff agreed with the
comments that pertained to the
strategies contained in the draft plan.
Staff disagreed with comments that
either suggested changes in the agency’s
statutory mission or involved too much
detail for a strategic plan. A comment
resolution matrix reflecting the
disposition of public comments is
available in ADAMS under Accession
No. ML14160A891.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 9th day
of September, 2014.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

the Chief Financial Officer.
