g that the applicable portion of the QA program is properly documented, approved, and implemented (people are trained and resources are available) before an activity within the scope of the QA program is undertaken by the applicant/holder or by others. (NQA-1) 8. A general grace period of 90 days may be applied to provisions that are required to be performed on a periodic basis unless otherwise noted. Annual evaluations and audits that must be performed on a triennial basis are examples where the 90 day general grace period could be applied. The grace period does not allow the “clock” for a particular activity to be reset forward. The “clock” for an activity 17.5-9 March 2007 is reset backwards by performing the activity early. (Approved via SE (Accession No. 9807270331).) 9. For a COL under 10 CFR Part 52, the implementation of the operational phase of the QAP complies with proposed 10 CFR 50.54(a)(1), and the operational phase of the QAP and implementation will be identified in Table 13.4X (Operational Programs) of the FSAR. (Proposed 10 CFR 50.54(a)(1) and SECY 05-0197) C. DESIGN CONTROL AND VERIFICATION (10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion III) 1. Design Control a. A program is required to be established for the design of items. The program includes provisions to control design inputs, processes, outputs, changes, interfaces, records, and organizational interfaces. (NQA-1) b. Design inputs (e.g., the design bases, performance and regulatory requirements, and codes and standards) are correctly translated into design outputs (e.g., specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions). (NQA-1) c. The final design (approved design output documents and approved changes) identifies assemblies and/or components that are part of the item being designed. (NQA-1) d. The design process ensures that items and activities are selected and independently verified to ensure they are suitable for their intended application. (NQA-1) e. Changes to final designs
