erpretation arises in several cases, the Staff's judgment on the point at issue is formalized in a BTP. A BTP is primarily an instruction to Staff reviewers that outlines an acceptable approach to the particular issue and ensures a uniform treatment of the issue by Staff reviewers. The approaches taken in the BTPs, like the recommendations of regulatory guides, are not mandatory, but do provide defined, acceptable, and immediate solutions to some of the technical problems and questions of interpretation that arise in the review process. In some instances, regulatory guides may be developed from BTPs after a sufficient experience in their use has accumulated. All HICB BTPs applicable to the SRP sections in Chapter 7 have been collected in this appendix for convenience. Rev. 4 — June 1997 SRP 7-A-2 Table 7-A-1.
