preparedness position (EPPOS) regarding emergency plan and implementing procedure changes. This EPPOS was sent to the Regions and provided to the Offices of General Counsel and Enforcement in draft form on January 28,1998, for comment. Comments were considered j
and appropriate changes made to the EPPOS. This EPPOS is being placed in the Public Document Room.
The purpose of this paper is to provide guidance to NRC staff for determining whether a change to an emergency plan (1) constitutes a decrease in effectiveness or (2) results in the plan, as l
changed, no longer meeting either tho plad)ng standards of $50.47(b) or the requirements of Appendix E to 10 CFR Part 50. Additionally, the EPPOS provides guidance regarding (1) the l
relationship between the emergency plan and implementing procedures and the relocation of information required to be in the emergency plan to implementing procedures, and (2) the L
review of emergency action level (EAL) changes.
l Licensees may continue to implement EAL changes following the current practice. However, as described in this EPPOS, the NRC will review and approve the changes a licensee makes to l
EALs. It is our intent to issue a generic communication to all holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power plants on this issue.
