The staff also notes that unique circumstances involving a particular application may raise an implementation issue on an operational program that is best resolved by an ITAAC. The staff expects such circumstances to be rare. The staff should inform the Commission of any such licensee-proposed ITAAC. 2 Defined by the Commission in a May 14, 2004, SRM for SECY-04-0032, “Programmatic Information Needed for Approval of a Combined License Application without Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria.” 13.4-4 Revision 4 – September 2018 3.
