March 16, 2007 Technical Specifications Task Force (TSTF) 11921 Rockville Pike, Suite 100 Rockville, MD 20852
SUBJECT:
March 2007 TSTF Traveler Milestone Schedule Update (Docket No. PROJ0753)
Dear Members of the TSTF:
This letter is to update the schedule for review of all in-process TSTF travelers.1 NRC reviewed the schedule with your representative, Mr. Brian Mann, on March 16, 2007. This schedule updates and supercedes any previously-submitted schedules.
Table 1 summarizes TSTF changes since this schedule was last published on November 16, 2006 (ADAMS Accession No. ML0629803970). Table 2, which has been updated, explains shorthand notations used in the enclosed TSTF Status Spreadsheet (ADAMS Accession No. ML070680120).
Should circumstances lead to anticipated or actual schedule delay, the causing party should promptly inform the other party and coordinate to re-establish and publish an appropriately revised schedule. The cause of the schedule delay should be documented along with the agreed-upon revised schedule.
Changes to milestone dates that do not affect the projected notice of availability (NOA) milestone date may be accomplished informally with the mutual concurrence of the impacted stakeholders. Effective coordination of schedule changes is of particular importance in connection with TSTF response to NRC staff requests for additional information (RAIs). Failure to provide a timely and responsive reply in accordance with the agreed schedule (see updated Table 2 and attached TSTF Traveler Milestone Schedule) or to successfully negotiate a revised schedule may result in termination of the NRC review process.
Early completion of any activity will not necessitate schedule revision. However, NRC staff will endeavor to accommodate early completions by completing subsequent tasks early. The current Open TSTF Traveler Milestone schedule will be published as a publically available document in the Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) and accessible via the NRC public web.
1 As new TSTF travelers are opened and active travelers are closed on an ongoing basis, it should be recognized that recent changes may not appear in this schedule.
TSTF Technical Specifications Branch project leads for each TSTF traveler. Please contact these individuals in coordinating activities specific to their review. Ross Telson may also be contacted at (301) 415-2256 or rdt@nrc.gov in the event one of these individuals is unavailable or should you have questions or need further information in connection with the TSTF traveler review process.
Sincerely,

TABLE 2: In-process TSTF Traveler Schedule Milestones & Explanation M ilestone M eaning (Milestone dates in the attached spreadsheet m ay be interpreted as follows)
Dates Application This is the date the application was received by the NRC. The docum ent processing (a) center (DPC) will typically place the docum ent into ADAMS within a few days of receipt. For electronic subm ittals, the DPC confirm s, via em ail, both receipt and placem ent into ADAMS.
RAI Issued This is the projected (actual) date a Request for Additional Inform ation (RAI) letter will (c) be (is) available to- or delivered to TSTF. If a copy of the signed RAI will be (is) em ailed or faxed, it is this date. Otherwise, it is the date at which the RAI letter will becom e (is) publically available in ADAMS, perm itting public access (typically the signature date plus six (6) days).
RAI Resp. (d) This is the projected (actual) date when TSTFs com plete RAI response docum entation will be (is) available to technical staff. If a copy of the signed RAI response docum ent will be (is) em ailed or faxed to the TSTF lead, it is this date.
Otherwise, it is the date at which the RAI response becom es available in ADAMS, perm itting staff access (typically three days following receipt by the DPC).
In the event an RAI Response docum ent references a future subm ittal (e.g. a revised TSTF, a Topical Report, etc.) deem ed necessary by staff to com plete the TSTF review, then the actual RAI response date becom es the date of receipt of the referenced docum ent. Failure to provide RAI response (or RAI-referenced docum entation) by the RAI Response projected m ilestone date, without prom ptly inform ing the NRC in writing and coordinating to re-establish and publish an appropriately revised schedule, m ay result in term ination of the NRC review process.
Fed Reg NFC For TSTFs processed in accordance with the Consolidated Line Item Im provem ent (e)
- Program (CLIIPd), this is the projected (actual) date that both the m odel application (Model LAR) and safety evaluation (Model SE) will becom e (are) Noticed in the Federal Register for public com m ent.
This m ilestone is N/A for non-CLIIPd TSTFs which are not typically Noticed to the Federal Register for public com m ent Fed Reg NOA For TSTFs processed in accordance with the Consolidated Line Item Im provem ent (f)
- Program (CLIIPd), this is the projected (actual) date that both the m odel application (Model LAR) and safety evaluation (Model SE) will becom e (are) Advertised in the Federal Register as Available for Industry Adoption.
For non-CLIIPd TSTFs, there is no Fed Reg NOA. In this instance, this m ilestone reflects the earlier of the following dates: (i) The date at which the letter approving the TSTF will becom e (is) publically available in ADAMS (typically 6 days after being signed) or (ii) the date the signed letter will be (is) faxed or em ailed to TSTF.
