licensing basis for review. DG-1194, Page 5 REGULATORY ANALYSIS 1. Statement of the Problem The NRC published Revision 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.114 in May 1989 to provide licensees with agency-approved guidance for complying with the then-current version of 10 CFR 50.54, “Conditions of Licenses.” Updates and revisions to the regulations make the current regulatory guide outdated. 2. Objective The objective of this regulatory guide is to provide guidance on an acceptable method for complying with the requirements for licensed operator staffing as, described in the current revision of 10 CFR 50.54(m). 3. Alternative Approaches The NRC staff considered the following alternative approaches: • Do not revise Regulatory Guide 1.114. • Update Regulatory Guide 1.114. 3.1 Alternative 1: Do Not Revise Regulatory Guide 1.114 Under this alternative, the NRC would not revise this guidance, and the original version of this regulatory guide would continue to be used. This alternative is considered the baseline or “no action” alternative and, as such, involves no value/impact considerations. 3.2 Alternative 2: Update Regulatory Guide 1.114 The current revision of this regulatory guide contains outdated regulatory references. Failure to revise this regulatory guide will result in the continued use of the current regulatory guide with its references to incorrect regulatory requirements. 4. Conclusion Based on this regulatory analysis, the staff recommends that the NRC revise Regulatory Guide 1.114 to incorporate the new format and correct regulatory requirements. The regulatory guide does not require a backfit analysis as described in 10 CFR 50.109(c), because the use of this guide is voluntary for licensees of currently operating nuclear power plants.
