g with any additional information provided, to require the licensee to take actions that the agency deems appropriate to control and monitor offsite liquid and gaseous effluent releases. Licensees may continue to use the values in Appendix I, “Numerical Guides for Design Objectives and Limiting Conditions for Operation To Meet the Criterion ‘As Low as is Reasonably Achievable’ for Radioactive Material in Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Reactor Effluents,” to 10 CFR Part 50. Appendix I provides numerical guidance for meeting the requirements for radioactive materials in effluents released to unrestricted areas. 8.3 The Maintenance Rule The maintenance rule (10 CFR 50.65, “Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants”) requires licensees to monitor the performance or condition of certain SSCs that could affect safety. For licensees that have submitted the certifications for cessation of operations and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor, as specified in 10 CFR 50.82(a)(1) and 10 CFR 52.110(a), this requirement applies only to the extent that the licensee monitors the performance or condition of the SSCs associated with the storage, control, and maintenance of spent fuel in a safe condition within the SFP. The monitoring activities must be sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that SSCs related to the storage of spent fuel are capable of fulfilling their intended functions, as specified in 10 CFR 50.65(a)(1). 8.4 Final Safety Analysis Report Content The final safety analysis report (FSAR), or other comparable document, provides a licensing-basis document for use in the evaluation of licensee activities under 10 CFR 50.59. The licensee must update and periodically adjust this licensing-basis document to cover decommissioning activities. According to 10 CFR 50.71(e)(4), nuclear power facilities that have submitted certifications for permanent cessation of operations and removal of fuel must file subsequent
