�� November 2011 (Ref. 41). 7.3 NEI 13-01, “Reportable Action Levels for Loss of Emergency Preparedness Capabilities,” Revision 0, issued July 2014 The staff found NEI 13-01, Revision 0 (Ref. 42), acceptable for use by licensees and applicants as a methodology that provides specific guidance for reporting the loss of emergency preparedness capabilities under 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii). The NRC endorsed NEI 13-01 in NUREG-1022, DG-1423, Page 12 Revision 3, Supplement 1, “Event Report Guidelines 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(xiii),” September 2014 (Ref. 43). DG-1423, Page 13 D.

If a licensee believes that the NRC is using this regulatory guide in a manner inconsistent with the discussion in this Implementation section, then the licensee may inform the NRC staff in accordance with Management Directive 8.4.
