shutdown station of the standard design. The detailed supporting information for the human factors aspects of the main control room and remote shutdown station design should be provided in DCD Tier 2 Chapter 18, "Human Factors Engineering". The implementation of the processes in the final design is the responsibility of the COL applicant or licensee. Design processes and acceptance criteria are discussed further in Appendix A to SRP Section 14.3. Tier 1 should describe the process to develop the Human-Systems Interface (HSI) design information for the main control room (MCR) and remote shutdown station (RSS) based on human factors systems analyses and human factors principles. A design effort should be directed by a multi-disciplinary HFE design team comprised of personnel with expertise in HFE and other technical areas relevant to the HSI design, evaluation and operations. The HSI design team shall develop a program plan to establish methods for implementing the HSI design through a process of human factors system analyses as discussed in Tier 1, and based on the HSI design implementation process in NUREG-0711. The details of implementation of each stage of the development process should be described in Tier 1, together with the related acceptance criteria. Detailed supporting information should be contained primarily in DCD Tier 2 Chapter 18. The material in DCD Tier 2 Chapter 18 provides design information and defines design processes that are acceptable for use in meeting the acceptance criteria in Tier 1. However, Tier 2 information may be changed by a COL applicant or licensee referencing the certified design in accordance with a "50.59-like" process specified in the rule certifying the design. The staff bases its safety determinations on the design processes specified in Tier 2. Therefore, for the evolutionary designs, the staff designated selected information in DCD Tier 2 Chapter 18 that, if considered for a change, requires NRC approval prior to
