e er 16, 1997 l MEMORANDUM TO: All NMSS Employees l
- FROM: John J. Lineh:n, Director Program Management, Policy Development and Analysis Staff Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
SUBJECT:
UPDATED NMSS POLICY AND PROCEDURES LETTER 2-3, ATTACHM6NT B.1.B Attached is an update to NMSS Policy and Procedures Letter (P&PL) 2 3, Attachment B.1.8, which replaccs the existing guidance. This update will remas in effect until the next permanent revision of P&PL 2 3 is issued. P&PL 2-3, Attachment B.1.B. contains guidance for reporting Regulatory information Tracking System (RITS) Information for activities associated with inspections, technical reviews, and licensing of spent fuel storage systems that are licensed under 10 CFR Part 72 and spent fuel transportation systems that are licensed under Part 71.
This update is being issued to provide clarification on several issues, including differences between Independent Spent Fuel Storage installation (ISFSI) general and site-specific licensees, providing new guidance on away from reactor ISFSis, and ensuring consistency with the spent fuelinspection program (Inspection Manual Chapter 2690). PMDA has reviewed and coordinated these changes with the Spent Fuel Project Office, NMSS, and License Fee and Accounts Receivable Branch, Office of the Controller.
Because staff RITS time expenditures are the basis for receiving funds from the Nuclear Waste Fund, from reimbursable agreements, and calculating license and inspection fee bills sent to licensees, it is essential that time be reported promptly and accurately, if you have any question or need assistance, please contact Mary Rogers, PMDA at 415 7813 or e-mail (MLR) or Phil Brochman, SFPO at 415-859 or e-mail (PGB).

If the licensee determines that NRC prior /
a> proval is required for the proposed changes, tle licensee must request that the Certificate of Compliance (CoC) holder submit an application to amend the CoC to the NRC. The COC is amended by rulemaking. Staff activities during rulemaking which involve reviewing changes to the dry cask storage system's (DCSS) design:
