Protective Action Recommendation Based on Plant Conditions 6 II. Protective Action Recommendation Based on Radiological Dose Information ................ 8 FINAL CONDITIONS ........................................................ 10 OP 3511 Rev. 12 Page 2 of 10

PURPOSE To specify the criteria that is utilized for making a Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) to the appropriate Emergency Planning Zone States.

DISCUSSION Responsibilities:

1. Shift Supervisor/Plant Emergency Director (SS/PED):

Authorizes the initial Protective Action Recommendation to the State authorities until relieved by the TSC Coordinator or Site Recovery Manager.

2. Technical Support Center (TSC) Coordinator:

Authorizes Protective Action Recommendation to the State authorities until relieved by the Site Recovery Manager.

3. EOF Coordinator/Radiological Assistant:

Evaluates radiological data used to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation and provides recommendation to the Site Recovery Manager at the EOF/RC.

4. Site Recovery Manager (SRM):

The cognizant individual with the overall responsibility and authority to provide the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation to the State authorities.

The decision making process to determine the Protective Action Recommendation for the plume exposure emergency planning zone is based on two criteria. The criteria include the consideration of plant conditions at the General Emergency classification, and projected and measured radiological doses in the environment.

For a Protective Action Recommendation based on plant conditions at the General Emergency classification, information is obtained on in-core fuel conditions, fission product inventory in containment, containment integrity, and release conditions. This information is then utilized to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation (i.e., shelter or evacuation) based upon the guidance contained in Figure 1.

For a Protective Action Recommendation based on release of radioactivity, the appropriate information concerning projected and measured dose rates in the environment is utilized. Determination of the population at risk is based upon meteorological data (wind speed, wind direction, and stability class). The exposure time is based upon available information such as plant conditions or type of accident. In the event that this cannot be readily approximated, a default release duration estimate is utilized. The projected and measured dose is calculated from this information.

OP 3511Rev. 12 Page 3 of 10

The projected or measured dose is then utilized to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation based upon Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance.

In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is a managerial and an administrative monitoring process, subject to 10CFR50 Appendix B, that does not alter the design, performance requirements, operation, or control of Systems, Structures, or Components (SSCs).

1. Emphasize to States' representatives that no compensation in the recommendation is made for the time to implement and complete protective actions.

2. An immediate Protective Action Recommendation based on General Emergency classification level must be implemented as delineated in Section I of this procedure.

3. A Protective Action Recommendation is reviewed against protective action actually

-implemented prior to re-issuing an updated recommendation.

4. If possible and if time permits, confer with the appropriate State and Federal authorities to ensure that questions on protective actions to be applied are answered prior to formal recommendation.

OP3511Rev. 12 Page 5 of 10

PROCEDURE NOTES K>

If a Protective Action Recommendation (shelter or evacuation) is warranted, ensure that a General Emergency has been declared, consistent with AP 3125.

• A Protective Action Recommendation is approved by the senior manager in charge of emergency activities at the time the recommendation is made. This person reviews and approves the recommendation, then transmits it to the states.

Section I or 11 may be performed out of sequence and independent of each other.

I. Protective Action Recommendation Based on Plant Conditions A. Immediate actions by the senior manager in charge or designated alternate (General Emergency Declared)

NOTES Initial notification of the General Emergency based on plant conditions, with determined Protective Action Recommendation, must be initiated to state authorities within 15 minutes.

A Protective Action Recommendation becomes valid and the 15-minute clock begins when the senior manager in charge of emergency activities at the time the recommendation is made approves and signs VYOPF 3511.01.

Initial notification of the General Emergency based on plant conditions, with determined Protective Action Recommendation, should not be delayed due to performing dose projections or awaiting their results.

Two individuals should be assigned to formulate the PAR independently to ensure accuracy.

1. Use Figure 1 and Table 3 (ER2000-1363) to determine the appropriate Protective Action Recommendation (PAR) based on plant conditions.

a. If the actual or potential release pathway is a stack release, use the upper wind direction.

b. If the actual or potential release pathway is a ground release, use the lower wind direction.

OP 3511 Rev. 12 Page 6 of 10

c. If the actual or potential release pathway is a multiple release (stack and ground), use both the upper and lower wind direction.

K>

2. If available, a second individual should independently verify the PAR. The verification may be performed by the individual who is approving the PAR (PED, TSC Coordinator, or Site Recovery Manager).

NOTE Any prior protective action recommendations that are still in effect shall be included with updated information and documentation (VYOPF 3511.01).

3. Record appropriate PAR information in Section I of VYOPF 3511.01.

4. Review PAR with the Site Recovery Manager or senior manager in charge to obtain approval.

5. Transmit approved PAR to State authorities as delineated in OP 3540 (PED or TSC Coord.) (use VYOPF 3540.06) or OP 3546 (Site Recovery Manager) (use VYOPF 3546.02).

6. Forward completed VYOPF 3511.01 to the Site Recovery Manager or senior manager in charge.

B. Subsequent Actions

1. Continue to obtain updated information on plant conditions.

2. If significant changes occur with plant or meteorological conditions, repeat steps in Section I.A. to re-evaluate Protective Action Recommendation.

OP 3511 Rev. 12 Page 7 of 10

II. Protective Action Recommendation Based on Radiological Dose Information A. Immediate Actions by the EOF Coordinator/Radiological Assistant

1. Obtain current off-site dose projection results and meteorological data (wind direction and stability class) from OP 3513.

NOTE ODPS and METPAC will automatically compare EPA Protective Action Guidelines with off-site dose projection results. Each computer program provides PARs for selected downwind distances in program printouts and computer screens.

2. Determine appropriate Protective Action Recommendations (PARs) as follows:

(Use Section 1I of VYOPF 3511.01).

a. Compare the calculated dose projection results with EPA Protective Action Guidelines delineated below to determine whether EPA Protective Action Guidelines have been exceeded.

EPA PROTECTIVE ACTION GUIDELINES Total Effective Committed Dose Protective Action Dose Equivalent Equivalent (CDE)

(TEDE) to the Thyroid

>1 rem >5 rem EVACUATION Note:

Sheltering may be the preferred protective action if the following are present:

"* severe weather,

"* competing disasters,

"* local physical factors which impede evacuation LOCAL/STATE OFF-SITE OFFICIALS WILL DETERMINE THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THESE FACTORS TO THE PAR SUBSEQUENT TO THE ISSUANCE OF THE PAR BY VY.

OP 3511 Rev. 12 Page 8 of 10

NOTES Table 4 and Table 5 are conservatively based on using the dispersion wheel EPZ area map with plume width transparent overlays and grouping affected towns by stability class and wind directions in 22.5 degree sectors.

The EPZ area base map with transparent overlays may be used as an aid to display plume direction and plume width. The transparent overlays consist of three colored angles defined as blue (stability class A, B, and C), red (stability class D) and orange (stability class E, F, and G).

The town of Marlboro, VT is not a VY EPZ town.

b. Choose the towns affected by the PAR as follows:

1) If Appendix B of OP 3513 shows that the PAR (evacuation) is exceeded, then use TABLE 5 and appropriate meteorological data (wind direction and stability class A) to obtain affected towns out to five miles downwind.

2) If ODPS shows that the PAR (evacuation) is exceeded between five and ten miles. then use TABLE 4 and appropriate meteorological data (wind direction and stability class) to obtain affected towns out to ten miles downwind.

3) If ODPS shows that the PAR (evacuation) is exceeded between the site boundary and five miles. then use TABLE 5 and appropriate meteorological data (wind direction and stability class) to obtain affected towns out to five miles downwind.

4) If METPAC is used, towns affected by the PAR are determined by using one or more of the following:

a) METPAC Plume Plot b) METPAC PAG Report c) METPAC Tracking Report d) Field Monitoring Results e) Table 4 f) Table 5 OP 3511 Rev. 12 Page 9 of 10

NOTE Any prior protective action recommendations that are still in effect K-, should be included with updated information and documentation (VYOPF 3511.01).

c. Record appropriate PAR information in Section II of VYOPF 3511.01

3. Forward completed VYOPF 3511.01 to the Site Recovery Manager or senior manager in charge.

4. Review the PARs with the Site Recovery Manager or senior manager in charge to obtain approval.

5. Transmit approved PARs to State authorities as delineated in OP 3540 (PED or I TSC Coord.). (Use VYOPF 3540.06) or OP 3546 (Site Recovery Manager) (use VYOPF 3546.02)

B. Subsequent Actions

1. Continue to obtain updated information concerning off-site release information and status from OP 3513.

2. If significant changes occur on plant radiological release or meteorological conditions, repeat steps in Section II.A to re-evaluate Protective Action Recommendation.

FINAL CONDITIONS

1. Ensure that all documentation is maintained in an orderly fashion and route all documentation to the Emergency Plan Coordinator for review and filing at the conclusion of the emergency response process.

2. The Emergency Plan Coordinator will ensure that completed records are filed in accordance with AP 6807.

PURPOSE This procedure outlines the basic emergency plan requirements and actions to be followed by the Control Room personnel in an emergency.

DISCUSSION There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests with the Shift Supervisor/Plant Emergency Director, who, in turn, instructs Control Room personnel to activate the notification system. Notification of State authorities must be initiated within 15 minutes after the event has been classified. The NRC must be notified immediately after the States' notification, but not later than one (1) hour after the event has been classified.

An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site or the public off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual Event conditions will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require a change in operation status.

The basic shift complement is able to deal with Unusual Event conditions. On-duty personnel are assigned to functions as required. Additional members of the plant organization, including top management, are notified by Plant Security, and augment on-duty personnel as necessary. The Duty On Call Officer who is available on an on-call basis must report to the site and will assume the role of the TSC Coordinator. Dissemination of public information and closure or escalation to a more severe classification will occur as conditions warrant.

An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant safety margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site impact assessment, but is not likely to require off-site protective action.

An Alert event requires action beyond the normal capability of the basic shift complement. Plant response and off-site notification associated with this event classification ensure that sufficient emergency response personnel are mobilized to activate the Technical Support Center and the Operations Support Center. The Emergency Operations Facility/Recovery Center is activated with the Site Recovery Manager, the EOF Coordinator and other EOF/RC staff members. Sufficient emergency assistance personnel to assess off-site radiological impact are assigned if the Alert event is producing releases off-site. Actual releases of radioactivity which substantially exceed Technical Specification limits may be involved and thus radiation monitoring and dose projection may be an integral portion of the emergency response required. Prompt notification is made to State authorities and follow-up information is provided as needed to off-site emergency organizations.

OP 3540 Rev. 2 Page 3 of 14

A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist for some releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities and follow-up information as needed to off-site emergency organizations.

Plant resources are anticipated to be sufficient to cope with a Site Area Emergency.

Outside resources, however, are mobilized and selected members are dispatched to the site. All emergency centers are activated following declaration of a Site Area Emergency. All non-essential personnel are evacuated from the site. Representatives from adjoining States are dispatched to the Emergency Operations Facility. Assessment of plant conditions and off-site radiological parameters determine the type of protective measures necessary for protection of the public sector. The public is notified of the event by local media facilities and periodic updates of information are released to ensure uniform, adequate response to real conditions.

A General Emergency is declared when substantial core degradation or melting has occurred, with a potential for loss of containment integrity. The possibility does exist for releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide for protective action recommendations to State authorities.

Contracted service organizations, sponsor utilities, and other industry resources are alerted and requested to render assistance as appropriate. In addition, Federal resources are called upon for assistance. Assessment of plant conditions and off-site radiological parameters determine the type of protective action recommendations.

Plant representatives closeout or escalate the emergency classification, or move to recovery as conditions warrant. Written summaries of the event are provided to off-site authorities and other affected agencies.

Upon declaration of an emergency classification, the Control Room becomes an Emergency Response Facility and the Shift Supervisor assumes the duties of the Plant Emergency Director (PED).

During the initial stages of an emergency, the PED will direct all phases of the emergency response. Actions will include:

0 Classifying an emergency

• Notifying appropriate State authorities 0 Notifying the NRC 0 Initiating on-site habitability surveys, if necessary 0 Formulating on-site personnel response recommendations, if necessary

• Performing initial off-site dose assessment, if necessary 0 Initiating corrective actions required to restore normal operation, if necessary As personnel respond to other Emergency Response Facilities, emergency functions will be transferred to the Technical Support Center Coordinator (TSCC) or the Site Recovery Manager (SRM) as appropriate.

OP 3540 Rev. 2 Page 4 of 14

Emergency Classification and PAR Notification Form (VYOPF 3540.06) specifies the contents and formal States notifications of emergency classifications and protective action recommendations (PARs) by Vermont Yankee, and is used by the Control Room in the authorization and transmittal of these notifications. Prior to the SRM assuming responsibility for the emergency response, the TSC Coordinator can authorize escalations and PARs, but the Control Room retains transmittal responsibilities to off-site agencies.

In the event that a Control Room evacuation and plant shutdown using alternate methods are required, Appendix A will be used to initially notify the States and the NRC of the declared emergency.

In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of IOCFR50 Appendix E.

A facsimile of the evaluation form may be used as needed and attached to this checklist.

For applicable item 10 CFR 50 (b) (5) U 6) and App. E (4)Section IV. D of Section A above, this change (DOES/<OES NO) decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and tOESDOES NOT) continue to meet the stated applicable standard or requirem7Ltý.

BASIS FOR ANSWER:

Changes made were for adding formality to the procedure. Steps were proceduralized that were already being implemented. Communicator responsibilities did not change, just definitions were added for clarification. Faxing to each of the states is in addition to the phone call for notification already being implemented, it does not change or supercede any actions already beinq taken.

Notification/PAR form section A added an option to choose an upgrade to a PAR.

This is an enhancement and does not change any information already being distributed. Further defined the "release" section to make it attributable to the event.

None of the changes made to this procedure decrease the effectiveness of the EPlan and requirements continue to be met.

PURPOSE To outline the operation of the Emergency Operations Facility/Recovery Center (EOF/RC).

DISCUSSION There are four emergency classifications, Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency. The decision to make an immediate initial declaration rests with the Shift Supervisor/Plant Emergency Director, who, in turn, instructs Control Room personnel to activate the notification system. Notification of State authorities must be initiated within 15 minutes after the event has been classified. The NRC must be notified immediately after the States' notification, but not later than one (1) hour after the event has been classified.

An Unusual Event is defined as any plant-related event which indicates a potential degradation of plant safety margins which is not likely to affect personnel on-site or the public off-site or result in radioactive releases requiring off-site monitoring. Unusual Event conditions will not have caused serious damage to the plant and may not require a change in operation status.

The basic shift complement is able to deal with Unusual Event conditions. On-duty personnel are assigned to functions as required. Additional members of the plant organization, including top management, are notified by Plant Security, and augment on-duty personnel as necessary. The Duty On Call Officer who is available on an on-call basis must report to the site and will assume the role of the TSC Coordinator. Dissemination of public information and closure or escalation to a more severe classification will occur as conditions warrant An Alert event is defined as an indication of a substantial degradation of plant safety margins which could affect on-site personnel safety, could require off-site impact assessment, but is not likely to require off-site protective action.

An Alert event requires action beyond the normal capability of the basic shift complement. Plant response and off-site notification associated with this event classification ensure that sufficient emergency response personnel are mobilized to activate the Technical Support Center and the Operations Support Center. The Emergency Operations Facility/Recovery Center is activated with the Site Recovery Manager, the EOF Coordinator and other EOF/RC staff members. Sufficient emergency assistance personnel to assess off-site radiological impact are assigned if the Alert event is producing releases off-site. Actual releases of radioactivity which substantially exceed Technical Specification limits may be involved and thus radiation monitoring and dose projection may be an integral portion of the emergency response required. Prompt notification is made to State authorities and follow-up information is provided as needed to off-site emergency organizations.

A Site Area Emergency indicates an event which involves likely or actual major failures of plant functions needed for the protection of the public. The possibility does exist for some releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide action recommendations to State authorities and follow-up information as needed to off-site emergency organizations.

OP 3546 Rev. 2 Page 3 of 8

Plant resources are anticipated to be sufficient to cope with a Site Area Emergency.

Outside resources, however, are mobilized and selected members are dispatched to the site. All emergency centers are activated following declaration of a Site Area Emergency. All non-essential personnel are evacuated from the site. Representatives from adjoining States are dispatched to the Emergency Operations Facility. Assessment of plant conditions and off-site radiological parameters determine the type of protective measures necessary for protection of the public sector. The public is notified of the event by local media facilities and periodic updates of information are released to ensure uniform, adequate response to real conditions.

A General Emergency is declared when substantial core degradation or melting has occurred, with a potential for loss of containment integrity. The possibility does exist for releases of radioactive material and response to this event emphasizes the ability to monitor the releases and to provide for protective action recommendations to State authorities.

Contracted service organizations, sponsor utilities, and other industry resources are alerted and requested to render assistance as appropriate. In addition, Federal resources are called upon for assistance. Assessment of plant conditions and off-site radiological parameters determine the type of protective action recommendations.

Plant representatives closeout or escalate the emergency classification, or move to recovery as conditions warrant. Written summaries of the event are provided to off-site authorities and other affected agencies.

Emergency Classification and PAR Notification/Upgrade Form (VYOPF 3546.02) specifies the contents and formal States notifications of emergency classifications and protective action recommendations (PARs) by Vermont Yankee, and is used by the Control Room or SRM in the authorization and transmittal of these notifications. Prior to the SRM assuming responsibility for the emergency response, the TSC Coordinator can authorize escalations and PARs, but the Control Room retains transmittal responsibilities to off-site agencies.

In accordance with AP 6002, Preparing 50.59 Evaluations, the results of an Applicability Determination (AD) has determined that an AD is not required for future changes provided the procedure scope is not changed. The basis for this conclusion is that this document is an Emergency Implementing Procedure and is subject to 10CFR50.54(q) to determine if the changes decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and if they have the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10CFR50.47(b) and the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix E.

3. Alternate Assembly and Staging Area

a. If a Code Red Security Event occurs during off-hours, the Emergency Operations KJ Facility will be used as an alternate assembly and staging area for personnel who would normally report to emergency response facilities at the plant site. A pager code of "777" and a Community Alert Message notifies personnel to report to the EOF in an off-hours Code Red Security Event.

APPENDIX S "TECHNICALREPRESENTATIVE ESCALATION CHECKLIST/SCRIPT Escalation (EAL code......)Introduction. Due to the present conditions at the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant, as of :_ .we have escalated our classification to:

SUnusual Event. This emergency classification is the lowest of four NRC-defined levels Alert: This emergency classification is the second lowest of four NRC-defined levels.

Site Area: This emergency classification is the second highest of four NRC-defined levels.

General: This emergency classification is the hiehest of four NRC-defined levels.

Our decision to escalate the emergency classification is due to:

• Increasing radiation levels Damaged reactor fuel cladding/or fission prod. bamers Leakage of reactor coolant water ____________________________________

General criteria as established by our emergency plans H

[There has been no radioactivity released as a result of this incident.

U I There has beep a minute release of radioactivity at the plant as a result of this event, but no increase was measurable at the site boundary and thus there were no public health or safety implications.

El There has been aradiation release from the plant that is measurable at the site boundary. The radiation dose per hour at the plant boundary is about __ millirem which is equivalent to what people receive from natural sources in about_ _ days. Normal background is about 1 mr/day from sun and earth.

(If appropriate) Ohur technical representative is here to provide a brief description of the plant condition at this point...

This classification of:

El Unusual Event: augments our on-shift technical resources at the plant and implements a formal notification process for offsite emergency organizations.

El Alert: partially mobilizes emergency response and technical personnel at the plant, activates Vermont Yankee's emergency response facilities including our emergency operations facility and this news media center, assigns responsibility for Vermont Yankee's overall response to a site recovery manager, and provides formal notification and follow-up information to offsite emergency response organizations. We also evacuate unassigned people from the plant site as a precaution.

r_ SAE: mobilizes all Vermont Yankee emergency response personnel, activates state and local emergency response facilities, provides for closer interaction with Vermont Yankee and state emergency response officials here in Brattleboro.

El GE: activates all available local, state and federal radiological emergency response resources and appropriate protective measures are determined based on weather conditions and actual or projected radiological conditions.

As we focus the additional technical resources on addressing the plant conditions we will be providing state emergency officials with continuous updates to support their response and will continue to hold joint press conferences to inform the news media. Area residents should stay tuned to the Emergency Alert System radio stations for further information from state public safety organizations. We will return here as soon as possible with

OP 3546, Rev 2, Operation of the EOF/RC A. Screening Evaluation Based on a review of the following questions, determine if the change has the potential to affect our ability to meet the standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b) and the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR 50.

A "YES" answer to any part of the questions requires that a written evaluation be done to determine whether the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan was decreased as specified in Section B of this checklist.

A "NO" answer to all questions requires no written evaluation as specified in Section B of this checklist.

1. Could the proposed change affect our ability to meet the following standards of 10 CFR 50.47(b):

(1) Assignment of Emergency Response Organization responsibilities YES NO (2) Assignment of on-shift Emergency Response Organization personnel YES NO (3) Arrangements for Emergency Response Support and Resources YES NO (4) Emergency Classification and Action levels, including facility system and effluent parameters YES NO (5) Notification Methods and Procedures YES NO (6) Emergency Communications among principal response organizations and the public YES NO (7) Public Education and Information YES NO (8) Adequacy of Emergency Facilities and Equipment YES NO (9) Adequacy of Accident Assessment methods, systems and equipment YES NO (10) Plume exposure pathway EPZ protective actions YES NO (11) Emergency Worker Radiological Exposure Control YES NO (12) Medical Services for contaminated injured individuals YES NO (13) Recovery and Reentry Plans YES NO (14) Emergency response periodic drills and exercises YES NO (15) Radiological Emergency Response Training YES NO (16) Plan development, review and distribution YES NO VYAPF 3532.01 AP 3532 Rev. 10 Page 1 of 3 RT No. 10.E06.171

Effectiveness Determination For each applicable (i.e., a "yes" answer specified) standard to 10 CFR 50.47(b) and Appendix E to 10 CFR 50 identified from Section A above, complete the evaluation form below to determine whether the change decreases the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and whether it continues to meet the stated applicable standard or requirement.

A facsimile of the evaluation form may be used as needed and attached to this checklist.

For applicable item 10 CFR 50 .47(b) (1), (8) and Appendix E,Section IV. E of Section A above, this change DOES NOT decrease the effectiveness of the Emergency Plan and DOES continue to meet the stated applicable standard or requirement.

BASIS FOR ANSWER:

Changes to the responsibilities of the Rad Coordinator, Media Advisor Assist, State Advisor, Ops Advisor were to formalize steps and processes that they were already doing. The Media Advisor will now announce time for synchronization throughout the facility and prior to any announcement being made. This enhancement will help all personnel and will allow the Facilities group to focus on their EOF functions. The Personnel Monitoring and Manpower/Planning equipment from cab. #2 was moved to sprinkler room to keep all their equipment together and make it easier to set up their individual areas. No equipment was eliminated and does not effect the setup of the facility.

All other changes to the procedure were for formalization and enhancement and do not decrease the effectiveness of the Plan or Procedure and continues to meet all requirements.
