Appendix -- SARP Completeness Review Checklist 1

**FOREWORD**

The purpose of this safety guide is to establish and disseminate
standardized Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) processes for establishing and maintaining
packaging programs that ensure that off-site shipments of nuclear weapon
components, Category I and II special nuclear materials (SNM), nuclear
weapon program special assemblies (SAs), and other materials of national
security interest are safe, comply with the applicable federal
regulatory and DOE Order 461.1A requirements, and present no undue risk
to the public, worker safety and health, or the environment.

Comments (recommendations, proposed additions or deletions, or any other
suggested improvements) should be sent to:

U.S. Department of Energy/ National Nuclear Security Administration

Service Center

Packaging Certification Division

Attention: Manager

P.O. Box 5400

Albuquerque, NM 87185-5400

Or by e-mail at the addresses available on the National Nuclear Security
Administration Service Center's Offsite Transportation
Authorizations/Certificates Web Site
(<http://www.doeal.gov/nnsaota/default.htm>) Point of Contact page.

**1.0 INTRODUCTION**

The purpose of this safety guide is to establish a standard for
determining the completeness of a Safety Analysis Report for Packaging
(SARP) prior to its submittal to the Department of Energy/National
Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) Packaging Certification
Division (PCD).

DOE Order 461.1A (04/26/2004), *Packaging and Transfer or Transportation
of Materials of National Security Interest*, requires that a SARP be
submitted in support of a Type B package certification application and
the associated request for an Offsite Transportation Certificate (OTC).
This safety guide summarizes, in the form of a checklist, SARP
requirements from the applicable regulations, orders, and guidance
contained in the documents listed in Section 3.0. The purpose of this
safety guide is to provide a tool that applicants can use to ensure that
SARPs submitted to DOE/NNSA are thorough and complete, and therefore
contain the information needed to demonstrate the proposed package's
ability to meet the prescribed regulatory and DOE/NNSA requirements.
This safety guide is not a substitute for a formal DOE/NNSA
Transportation Safety Review Panel review.

**2.0 COMPLETENESS REVIEW CHECKLIST**

**2.1 Requirements**

A SARP must be submitted in support of an application to certify a Type
B package and to request the associated OTC.

To ensure that the SARP is complete in addressing the requirements of
the applicable regulations, orders, and guidance, the organization
submitting the application to certify or recertify a Type B package
shall compare its SARP against the "SARP Completeness Review Checklist"
found in the appendix of this safety guide before submitting the SARP to
DOE/NNSA PCD.

The comparison of the SARP against the Completeness Review Checklist
shall be documented. The documentation should consist of filling in the
data entries in the Completeness Review Checklist that are to be
provided by SARP completeness reviewers, as explained in Section 2.2. A
completed SG-200 checklist must be submitted with all applications for
Offsite Transportation Certificates (certification and recertification).

**2.2 Structure and Use of the Checklist**

The Completeness Review Checklist is organized by SARP chapter and
section in the format defined by RG 7.9 to the extent practical, with
the addition of a chapter on quality assurance. RG 7.9 has been updated
to be consistent with the current revision of 10 CFR 71; however, where
conflicts exist, 10 CFR 71 requirements will apply. For each SARP
section, the requirements basis in regulation, order, or guidance is
provided.

The remainder of the checklist consists of three entries that require
responses/entries by SARP completeness reviewers:

1.  The location in the SARP where the requirement is addressed. Note
    that it is not mandatory for the SARP to address a requirement in
    the location suggested by the checklist.

2.  A Y for YES, N for NO, or NA for NOT APPLICABLE response to the
    question "Does the SARP address the requirement satisfactorily?"

3.  A reference number for any comment, provided at the end of this
    Checklist section (SARP chapter), that expands on an entry made in
    Item 2, above.

**3.0 REFERENCES AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS**

The current revision of a reference should be used to determine
requirements unless otherwise directed by DOE/NNSA PCD. At the time this
Guide was issued, the only exception to the requirement to use the
current version of a referenced document is that the ANSI/ANS-6.1.1 1977
should be used. Documents in the list below (e.g., RG 7.6, RG 7.8,
etc.), but not explicitly stated in the "Requirement Basis" column, were
included to assist the applicant in the SARP preparation process.

|   | specification is demonstrated   |         |       |      |      |
|   | through testing, determining    |         |       |      |      |
|   | the transient peak temperatures |         |       |      |      |

|   | well as the maximum             |         |       |      |      |

|   | difficult or impossible.        |         |       |      |      |
