AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Solicitation of public comment.
SUMMARY: The NRC staff is soliciting
public comment on NUREG–0800,
‘‘Standard Review Plan for the Review
of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear
Power Plants,’’ (SRP) Appendix 18–A
on Guidance for Crediting Manual
Operator Actions in Diversity and
Defense-in-Depth (D3) Analyses
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML092950353). This
Appendix defines a methodology for
evaluating manual operator action as a
diverse means of coping with
Anticipated Operational Occurrences
and Postulated Accidents that are
concurrent with a software Common
Cause Failure of the Digital
Instrumentation and Control (I&C)
Protection System. This Appendix
supersedes, and incorporates with
limited modifications, the guidance in
Section 3 of Digital I&C Interim Staff
Guidance (ISG), Digital I&C–ISG–05,
Revision 1, Highly Integrated Control
Rooms—Human Factors Issues.
The NRC staff issues SRPs to facilitate
timely implementation of current staff
guidance and to facilitate activities
associated with the review of
applications for design certification (DC)
and combined licenses (COLs) by the
Office of New Reactors (NRO). The NRC
staff will also incorporate the revised
SRP section and Appendix 18–A into
the next revisions of Regulatory Guide
1.206 and any related guidance
documents.
DATES: Comments must be filed no later
than 60 days from the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. Comments received after this
date will be considered, if it is practical
to do so, but the Commission is able to
ensure consideration only for comments
received on or before this date.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
by any one of the following methods.
Please include Docket ID: NRC–2009–
0515 in the subject line of your
comments. Comments submitted in
writing or in electronic form will be
posted on the NRC Web site and on the
Federal rulemaking Web site at https://
www.regulations.gov. Because your
comments will not be edited to remove
any identifying or contact information,
the NRC cautions you against including
any information in your submission that
you do not want to be publicly
disclosed.
The NRC requests that any party
soliciting or aggregating comments
received from other persons for
submission to the NRC inform those
persons that the NRC will not edit their
comments to remove any identifying or
contact information, and therefore, they
should not include any information in
their comments that they do not want
publicly disclosed.

This SRP,
NUREG–0800, has been prepared to
establish criteria that the NRO staff use
to evaluate if DC and COL applications
meet the NRC’s regulations. The SRP is
not a substitute for the NRC’s
regulations, and compliance with it is
not required. However, applicants are
required to identify differences in
design features, analytical techniques,
and procedural measures proposed for a
facility and corresponding SRP
acceptance criteria, and evaluate how
the proposed alternatives to the
acceptance criteria provide an
acceptable method of complying with
the NRC’s regulations.
The agency posts its issued staff
guidance in the agency external Web
page (https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/
doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr0800).
The NRC staff is issuing this notice to
solicit public comments on proposed
Appendix 18–A, which is being issued
for the first time. After the NRC staff
considers any public comments, it will
make a determination regarding
proposed Appendix 18–A.
