or exemptions from the DC. The additional material is evaluated against the applicable sections of NUREG-0711. The purpose of these reviews is to assure safety by verifying that the COL applicant’s FSAR provides any additional documentation specified by the DC. 3. Design Certification Application The organization responsible for the review of human performance reviews the HFE of the applicant’s control room design described in the DC application. The submittal should address all 12 elements described in NUREG-0711. This may result in deferring site- or plant-specific elements to future COL applicants via COL action items. Elements that interface with operating programs (e.g., procedures, training) should be coordinated with the organization responsible for reviewing operating programs to determine the level of effort needed in reviewing Chapter 18 of the applicant’s SAR. Typically the evaluation of operating programs will be done within Standard Review Plan (SRP), Chapter 13, “Conduct of Operations,” as discussed in Section II, “Interfaces.” The purpose of these reviews is to assure safety by verifying that acceptable HFE practices and guidelines are appropriately applied to the plant’s design. 4. Plant and Control Room Modifications The NRC reviews the HFE of certain plant and control room modifications involving changes to the FSAR as part of the change process described in 10 CFR 50.59, “Changes, Tests, and Experiments.” Such modifications may affect the control room environment (e.g., noise, temperature, lighting), interfaces to safety-related SSCs, or important human actions (as described further in Section 5). Guidance related to 10 CFR 50.59 is provided in Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.187, “Guidance for Implementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes, Tests, and Experiments,” Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) publication 96-07, “Guidelines for 10 CFR 50.59 Implementation” and Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2002-22, “Use of Electric Power
