SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

backfit as defined in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1)

since it does not impose modifications

of or additions to structures, systems or

components or to design or operation of

an addressee’s facility. It also does not

impose an interpretation of the

different from a previous staff position.

The staff, therefore, has not performed

a backfit analysis.
