Consolidated Line-Item Improvement Process (CLIIP) is the most stream-lined NRC TS amendment templated process. Its a subset of TSTF model

As described in RIS 2000-06, the CLIIP facilitates licensees’ adoptions of NRC-accepted changes to the STS as line-items. This process streamlines the license amendment review process involving NRC-accepted STS changes, increases NRC efficiency, and reduces unnecessary regulatory burden.

The NRC role in maintaining plant safety is achieved by the technical review of proposed changes to the STS as well as plant-specific applications to adopt NRC-accepted changes to the STS. In addition, the CLIIP increases public confidence by making NRC=s workprocess more visible to its stakeholders though use of the Federal Register. A notice for comment and a notice of availability are published in the Federal Register as part of the review process for a CLIIP. The CLIIP improves the efficiency of the NRC licensing processes by reviewing and documenting STS change requests in a manner that supports subsequent license amendment applications. By soliciting comments from NRC stakeholders, the CLIIP enhances the visibility of the staff=s review and revision process for the STS as well as subsequent license amendment applications. Following the staff's resolution of public comments on a proposed change to the STS, licensees may submit a LAR to adopt the NRC-accepted change by citing the relevant information made available during the CLIIP approval process.

Using the TSTF Traveler process to change the STS improves the efficiency of the licensing process by allowing the staff to review and approve a proposed change that will be used and referenced in the preparation of LARs by multiple licensees following approval of the TSTF Traveler. The TSTF Traveler provides the model technical and regulatory bases for a LAR. Because of the efficiency gains, the NRC concluded that TSTF Travelers should be "CLIIPed" whenever possible.

The NRC's Technical Specifications website at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/operating/licensing/techspecs/post-revision3-sts.html provides the status of TSTF Travelers under review, closed, approved, and CLIIPed. It also provides links to associated documents in the NRC's Official Agency Record (OAR) system called ADAMS (for "Agencywide Documents Access and Management System"). The website also shows links to the FR where appropriate.
