In the first sentence of Section 8 of N45.2.11-1974, the word "effecting" should be inserted before "design changes" for clarification. Further, the term "approved design documents" should be construed to mean "design output" (see Section 1.4) approved by the organization performing the design. 4. Sections 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 of N45.2.11-1974 concern the establishment of procedures for the prepara- tion and control of drawings, specifications, and other design documents. These sections list typical subjects to be covered by such procedures. One of the subjects to be covered is "nonconformances." The NRC staff considers the "nonconformances" listed in these sections to be nonconformances with procedural requirements. Thus in Section 4.3, item (11), "Nonconformance with drawing requirements," should be construed to mean "Noncon- formance with procedures for the preparation and control of drawings;" in Section 4.4, item (7), "Noncon- formance with specification requirements," should be construed to mean "Nonconformance with procedures for the preparation and control of specifications;" and in Section 4.5, item (7), "Nonconformance with design document requirements," should be construed to mean "Nonconformance with procedures for the preparation and control of design documents."
