Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commission's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. he standard review plan aectIons are keyed to the Standard Formatand Content of Safet Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not all sections of the standard Format have a corresponding review plan. Published standard review plans will be revised periodically, as appropriate, to accommodate comments and to reflect new Information and experience. Comments and suggestions for Improvement will be considered and should be sent to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Office of Nuclear ReactoreRegulation, Washington.

This is discussed in 'Graded Approach to Review" below. A. Aoolications The NRC HFE review process for three types of Licensing applications is described below. 1 . Review of the HFE Aspects of a New Plant - If an applicant proposes to build a new plant under 10 CFR Part 50 requirements, an HFE review of the new license application is performed. This chapter describes the staffs review activities to verify that accepted HFE principles are incorporated during the design process and that the human-system interfaces (HSIs) reflect a state-of-the-art HFE design. Nuclear power plant (NPP) designers and vendors may submit designs of advanced standardized NPPs to the NRC for review and approval under 10 CFR Part 52, 'Early Site Permits; Standard Design Certifications; and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Power Plants," (see Part 52 Subpart B, OStandard
