plans for using this draft regulatory guide. The NRC does not intend or approve any imposition or backfit in connection with its issuance. This guide is intended to provide a compilation of techniques available for monitoring cable performance. The guide is intended to promote discussion between staff and licensees when a facilities operating experience indicates cable failure or degraded cable performance as a causal factor. The NRC staff will use this guidance to evaluate compliance with the Maintenance Rule. The NRC has issued this draft guide to encourage public participation in its development. The NRC will consider all public comments received in development of the final guidance document. In some cases, applicants or licensees may propose an alternative or use a previously established acceptable alternative method for complying with specified portions of the NRC’s regulations. Otherwise, the methods described in this draft guide will be used in evaluating compliance with the applicable regulations for license applications, license amendment applications, and amendment requests.
