incorporated into Revision 1 1. The technical basis for the revision is to revise the expected level of detail necessary to fully describe the Maintenance Rule program such that the staff can obtain a reasonable assurance finding of acceptability. Consistent with SECY 05-197, Review of Operational Programs in a Combined License Application and Generic Emergency Planning Inspections, Tests, Analyses, and Acceptance Criteria,” dated October 28, 2005, and the associated Staff Requirements Memorandum, dated February 22, 2006, the level of detail should be described at a functional level and at an increased level of detail where implementation choices could materially and negatively affect the program effectiveness and acceptability.

Paragraphs under 1.A.i were deleted and 1.A.i was renumbered to Paragraph 1.A (all subsequent paragraphs were renumbered).

Additional guidance was provided within 1.B related to criteria for including nonsafety-related SSCs, specifically SSCs that are used in plant emergency operating procedures. iii. Added Note to 1.B that describes the applicability of 10 CFR 50.69 in determining the scope SSCs included in the maintenance
