SUMMARY
OF A CATEGORY 2 PUBLIC MEETING HELD WITH THE NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THE STATUS OF THE NRC STAFFS REVIEW OF THE DRAFT NEI 96-07, APPENDIX D On October 11, 2018, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a Category 2 public meeting with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) in Rockville, Maryland. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the status of the draft NEI 96-07, Appendix D, Supplemental Guidance for Application of 10 CFR 50.59 to Digital Modifications, which is being developed to assist licensees in the performance of 10 CFR 50.59 reviews for activities involving digital modifications. This meeting provided an opportunity for NRC staff and NEI to discuss the current draft NEI 96-07, Appendix D.
Background
On July 16, 2018, NEI provided to the NRC, NEI 96-07, Appendix D, Revision 0f (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18199A647) for comments. To support the discussion of this Category 2 meeting, the NRC staff made its comments on NEI 96-07, Appendix D publically available (ADAMS Accession No. ML18235A165). On August 30, 2018 and September 11, 2008, the NRC staff held Category 2 public meetings with the NEI to begin the discussion of the Appendix D comments. The results of these meeting discussions have been documented, respectively, in a revised comment file that captures NEIs position and NRC clarifications, and NRC action items (ADAMS Accession Nos. ML18283A903 and ML18282A044).
This meeting is a continuation of both the August 30th and September 11th meeting.

B. Pham Meeting Summary The NRC made brief opening remarks, and introductions were made by all in attendance.
Using the Appendix D comment file from the September 11, 2018, meeting the NRC staff addressed action items that were documented as a result of the meeting. The proposed resolution to the action items were discussed between the NRC staff and NEI. The NRC staff provided these proposed resolutions as a way to resolve any concerns that may come up when NEI submits the NEI 96-07, Appendix D guidance for staff endorsement.
Meeting Conclusion Although not all of the NRC staffs proposed resolutions were readily accepted by NEI, the results of the actions items and the notes from the meeting were documented for NEIs use as they work to finalize NEI 96-07, Appendix D for formal NRC endorsement (ADAMS Accession No. ML18297A199). NEI indicated that it expects to have another revision of NEI 96-07, Appendix D available by the end of October 2018. The next public meeting, tentatively scheduled for November 14, 2018, will be used to discuss the latest version of NEI 96-07, Appendix D that will address the NRC staffs comments and actions item as documented in the meeting summaries from the August 30th, September 11th, and October 11th meetings.
