The NRC staff opened the meeting by explaining the background of the 50.54(t)(1)(ii) Final Rule that was issue March 29,1999 (64 FR 14814). The staff also emphasized the importance of stakeholder involvement in the development process and the process the staff will use related to potentially endorsing the Performance Indicator guidance development.
NEI presented the White Paper, Implementing a 24-Month Frequency for Emergency Preparedness Program Reviews. The proposed PIs outlined in the paper were discussed and how certain indicators may reasonably be used to satisfy requirements for a 24-month 50.54(t)
EP program review frequency option. All industry representatives, which included NextEra and Entergy, were involved in the discussions and offered the opportunity to provide input.
Based upon the discussions and staff comments, NEI chose to revise the White Paper for resubmittal and subsequent review by the agency.
In addition, the staff informed industry and the public that additional Category II Public Meetings will occur at future dates as the project progresses and that the staff will seek additional stakeholder input at the appropriate time in the process.
