Clarification: If the applicant has submitted separate licensing documents such as topical reports either during pre-licensing interactions or during application review with requests for staff review and approval, and if these separate documents are incorporated by reference in the SAR, then this may reduce the information that needs to be included in the SAR. Documents incorporated by reference in the SAR, which NEI 21-07, Revision 1, does not address, are considered part of the SAR and are therefore also subject to applicable change processes. Other types of documents submitted by applicants (e.g., white papers, information papers, regulatory engagement plan) that have not been formally reviewed and approved by the staff and are not incorporated by reference into the SAR will not reduce the information requirements for the SAR. b. Clarification: NEI 21-07, Revision 1 calls for a “discussion of how the NRC RG that endorses the non-LWR PRA standard was implemented (pending finalization of the RG).” This regulatory guide has subsequently been issued as RG 1.247 for trial use. c.
