t specifically endorse the IAEA documents listed above and is only acknowledging that such documents may be a useful reference for general information. Documents Discussed in Staff Regulatory Guidance This RG endorses, in part, the use of one or more codes or standards developed by external organizations, and other third-party guidance documents. These codes, standards, and third-party guidance documents may contain references to other codes, standards, or third-party guidance documents (“secondary references”). If a secondary reference has itself been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations as a requirement, then licensees and applicants must comply with that standard as set forth in the regulation. If the secondary reference has been endorsed in a RG as an acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement, then the standard constitutes a method acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting that regulatory requirement as described in the specific RG. If the secondary reference has neither been incorporated by reference into NRC regulations nor endorsed in a RG, then the secondary reference is neither a legally-binding requirement nor a “generic” NRC approved acceptable approach for meeting an NRC requirement. However, licensees and applicants may consider and use the information in the secondary reference, if appropriately justified, consistent with current regulatory practice, and consistent with applicable NRC requirements. DG-1421, Page 7 C. STAFF REGULATORY GUIDANCE The staff finds that IEEE Std. 484-2019 provides methods acceptable to the NRC staff for meeting the regulatory requirements for the installation design and installation of vented lead-acid storage batteries in production and utilization facilities with the following clarifications: 1. The recommended practices in Section 2, “Normative References,” of IEEE Std. 484-2019 should be replaced with the following: RG 1.129, “Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Vented Lead-Acid Storage
