incorporates feedback from stakeholders. 

 IMC 0612 (Power Reactor Inspection Reports) has been revised to 

incorporate recommendations included in numerous feedback forms and 

to add additional guidance for documenting inspection findings. This 

revision is a major re-write and will go into effect January 1, 2009.
