Appendix A of Regulatory Guide 1.33 includes administrative procedures and procedures for controlling repair activities of safety-related equipment.
Site Directors Standard Practice (SDSP)-7.9, Integrated Schedule and Work Control, Section 6.4. 1, requires that an impact evaluation be performed on all activities that have potential for affecting equipment operations'hich may affect the safe and reliable operation of the unit except as specifically exempted.
Attachment C to SDSP-7.9 is used to document that evaluation.

SDSP-14.9, Equipment Clearances, Section
- 6. 1 provides both general and special requirements for removing equipment from service to allow work to safely proceed.
