REMARKS: IMC 0308 Att 3 App L, “Technical Basis for the B.5.b Significance Determination 

Process (SDP)” is an initial issuance. Researched commitments for four years 

and found none. This appendix to IMC 0308, Attachment 3, is the basis for the 

new SDP Appendix L, used for determining the significance of B.5.b findings. 

IMC 0609 App G, “Shutdown Operations Significance Determination Process,” 

has been updated to enhance the usability of this appendix, based on feedback 

from the SRA. The formatting was updated to be consistent with IMC 0609 App 

A. The abbreviations section is new and the definitions section is updated to 

include many additional useful terms. Figure 1 is updated to be consistent with 

the revisions in IMC 0609 App G, Att 1. Table 1 was removed and the

 IMC 0609 App G, Att. 1, Shutdown Operations Significance Determination 

Process Phase 1 Initial Screening and Characterization of Findings,” is revised to 

enhance the usability of this appendix, based on feedback received from the 

SRA. The formatting was updated to be consistent with IMC 0609 Appendix A. 

The checklists from the previous revision, for PWRs and BWRs, were combined 

into one list in the various Exhibits in the attachment using screening questions 

and decision logic. The content was updated and reworked to be more userfriendly for inspectors to screen findings to determine if they are Green or a more 

detailed analysis is needed. Incorporated feedback from ROPFF 0609G1-1911 

and 0609G-1323. This is a complete reissue no red line.
