.2 and ANSI/ASME NQA-1. This paragraph should be replaced with: During the initial construction phase and performance of modifications, this recommended practice should be used in conjunction with the guidance in RG 1.28 (Revision 6), which endorses NQA-1b-2011, NQA-1-2012, and NQA-1-2015 with exceptions and clarifications. During the operations phase, this recommended practice should be used in conjunction with the guidance in RG 1.33 (Revision 3), which endorses ANSI/ANS 3.2-2012 with clarifications. DG 1419, Page 7 D. IMPLEMENTATION The NRC staff may use this regulatory guide as a reference in its regulatory processes, such as licensing, inspection, or enforcement. However, the NRC staff does not intend to use the guidance in this regulatory guide to support NRC staff actions in a manner that would constitute backfitting as that term is defined in 10 CFR 50.109, “Backfitting,” and as described in NRC Management Directive 8.4, “Management of Backfitting, Forward Fitting, Issue Finality, and Information Requests” (Ref. 14), nor does the NRC staff intend to use the guidance to affect the issue finality of an approval under 10 CFR Part 52, “Licenses, Certifications, and Approvals for Nuclear Power Plants.” The staff also does not intend to use the guidance to support NRC staff actions in a manner that constitutes forward fitting as that term is defined and described in Management Directive 8.4. If a licensee believes that the NRC is using this regulatory guide in a manner inconsistent with the discussion in this Implementation section, then the licensee may file a backfitting or forward fitting appeal with the NRC in accordance with the process in Management Directive 8.4.
