In evaluating proposed plan changes, the licensee may need to consider the effect of the proposed changes on more than one emergency planning function.

Two emergency planning functions have been defined for this planning standard: (1) Responsibility for emergency response is assigned. (2) The response organization has the staff to respond and to augment staff on a continuing basis (i.e., 24/7 support) in accordance with the emergency plan. DG-1324, Page 20 c.
