SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    DC/COL-ISG-018 was issued in October 2009 to provide clarification 
and guidance on the application of Section 17.4, ``Reliability 
Assurance Program,'' of NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan for the 
Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants.'' The staff 
issued DC/COL-ISG-018 to provide clear guidance for performing safety 
reviews of the Reliability Assurance Program (RAP). DC/COL-ISG-018 
clarified the acceptance criteria and evaluation findings contained in 
Standard Review Plan (SRP) Section 17.4 in support of the NRC reviews 
of the DC and COL applications. The ISG also made changes to the roles 
and responsibilities of individual branches in the Office of New 
Reactors that review the RAP.

II. Discussion

    The staff published a notice of solicitation for public comment on 
DC/COL-ISG-018 on October 30, 2009 (74 FR 56243). The staff considered 
comments received and then issued the final guidance on March 28, 2011 
(76 FR 17159). The staff has since updated SRP Section 17.4 and issued 
the revised section for use and comment on June 11, 2013 (78 FR 35072). 
At this time the staff plans to finalize this guidance in June 2014. As 
anticipated in DC/COLISG-018, this guidance has been incorporated in 
SRP Section 17.4 and the NRC staff is withdrawing DC/COL-ISG-018.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 30th day of May 2014.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Joseph Colaccino,
 Branch Chief, Policy Branch, Division of Advanced Reactors and
