ure revisions to its EOPs. The formal requirement for submitting this package is provided in Supplement 1 to NUREG-0737, "Requirements for Emergency Response Capability" (Generic Letter No. 82-33). In 1994, NUREG-0711, "Human Factors Engineering Program Review Model" (HFE PRM), was published. The HFE PRM, described more fully in SRP Chapter 18, contains guidance on reviewing human factors engineering program elements, including procedure development (Chapter 9). The HFE PRM addresses technical procedures, including abnormal and emergency procedures, and seeks to ensure that an "applicant's procedure program will result in procedures that support and guide human interaction with plant systems and control plant-related events and activities." Therefore it is important that human-system interaction issues be considered in the development of all procedures, including all operating procedures (described in I.A of SRP Section 13.5.2.1) to be used within the control room and locally in the plant, including emergency operating procedures (EOPs). 13.5.2.1-12 Revision 2 - March 2007 The guidance in SRP Section 13.5.2.1, Appendix A, specifically addresses EOPs. Emergency operating procedures are particularly important for safety in nuclear power plant operation. However, it should be recognized that all technical procedures are developed to assist personnel in performing tasks. Elements to consider more broadly can be found in NUREG-0711. Other documents that may be used as guidance in the review of procedures include the documents referenced in the Reference section of this appendix. The purpose of this document is to give reviewers guidance on evaluating PGPs. The PGP is expected to contain specific information in each of its four parts. The review guidance below is divided into general objectives and specific review guidelines. The review guidelines represent what the staff believes should be considered by reviewers in determining if the general objectives are met. Because
