NRC COMMENTS ON APPENDIX B TO NEI 97-04, DESIGN BASES PROGRAM GUIDELINES

Dear Mr. Pietrangelo:

This letter forwards NRC staff comments on the November 17, 1999, version of Appendix B to NEI 97-04, Design Bases Program Guidelines. The comments are being provided to you to facilitate discussion at a public meeting on the subject of endorsing the NEI guidelines via a Regulatory Guide scheduled for July 27, 2000.

I believe that the comments are editorial in nature and that they will improve the clarity of the guidance. Enclosure 1 is a redline/strikeout version of the general and specific guidance and is a marked up version of the guidance. I look forward to discussing these comments with you, along with the comments you provided on the draft Regulatory Guide in your letter dated June 15, 2000, at the meeting and to reaching closure on this issue.

Sincerely,

/RA/BarryZalcman for Cynthia A. Carpenter, Chief Generic Issues, Environmental, Financial and Rulemaking Branch Division of Regulatory Improvement Programs Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Project No. 689
