The NRC does not edit comment submissions to remove identifying or contact information. If you are requesting or aggregating comments from other persons for submission to the NRC, then you should inform those persons not to include identifying or contact information in their comment submissions that they do not want to be publicly disclosed. Your request should state that the NRC will not edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment submissions into ADAMS. II. Further Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. The draft regulatory guide entitled ‘‘Configuration Management Plans for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants’’ is temporarily identified by its task number, DG–1206. The DG–1206 is proposed Revision 1 of RG 1.169, ‘‘Configuration Management Plans for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants’’ dated September 1997. This RG endorses IEEE Std. 828–2005, ‘‘IEEE Standard for Software Configuration Management Plans,’’ issued in 2005, with the exceptions stated in the regulatory positions. IEEE Std. 828–2005 describes methods acceptable to the NRC staff for use in complying with the NRC’s regulations for promoting high functional reliability and design quality in software used in safety systems. In particular, the methods are consistent with part 50 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities,’’ Appendix A, ‘‘General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants,’’ General Design Criterion 1, ‘‘Quality Standards and Records,’’ which requires, in part, that the nuclear power unit licensee maintain or control appropriate records of the design and testing of structures, systems, and components important to safety throughout the life of the unit. This draft regulatory guide is part of a series of 6 complimentary guides VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:53 Aug 21, 2012 Jkt 226001 addressing the issue of digital software in nuclear power plant applications. The following is a complete list of all 6 of the DGs: 1. DG–1267 is proposed revision 2 of RG 1.168, ‘‘Verification, Validation, Reviews, and Audits for Digital Computer Software used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants.’’ DG– 1267 is available in ADAMS at Accession number ML103160431; 2. DG–1206 is proposed revision 1 of RG 1.169, ‘‘Configuration Management Plans for Digital Computer Software used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants.’’ DG–1206 is available in ADAMS at Accession number ML103200044; 3. DG–1207 is proposed revision 1 of RG 1.170, ‘‘Software Unit Testing for Digital Computer Software Used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants.’’ DG–1207 is available in ADAMS at Accession number ML083370243; 4. DG–1208 is proposed revision 1 if RG 1.171, ‘‘Software Unit Testing for Digital Computer Software used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants.’’ DG–1208 is available in ADAMS at Accession number ML103120751; 5. DG–1209 is proposed revision 1 of RG 1.172, ‘‘Software Requirement Specifications for Digital Computer Software and Complex Electronics used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants.’’ DG–1209 is available in ADAMS at Accession number ML103080963; 6. DG–1210 is proposed revision 1 of RG 1.173, ‘‘Developing Software LifeCycle Processes for Digital Computer Software used in Safety Systems of Nuclear Power Plants.’’ DG–1210 is available in ADAMS at Accession number ML103120727.
