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.

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.
