Delete Section C.) entitled "STATEMENT Of WORK" in its entirety and substitute in lieu thereof the following:
C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK OACKGROUND INFORMATION The Reactor and Plant Safety issues Branch (RPSIB) has the lead responsibility for rulemaking on renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses.
Although license renewal is permitted under 10 CFR Chapter 1, the regulations provide no guidance to potential applicants as to what information and analyses should be submitted in support of renewal application and no guidance to the NRC staff as to how the application should be reviewed or what should be the terms and conditions of a renewed license.
The first application for license renewal is anticipated in 1991.
The RPSIB has a program underway to develop a license renewal rule.
The schedule calls for a proposed rule and supporting regulatory analysis to be completed by the Spring of 1989, to be published by the Fall of 1989, and for the final rule to be published in 1991.
To support this rulemaking, technical assistance is required in numerous areas of expertise including systems engineering, nuclear power plant design and operation, and related regulatory programs and requirements.
The MITRE Corporation, under Contract Number NRC-04-87-399, is providing overall support in the identification of regulatory options, alternative rules and specifications for conducting regulatory analyses of alternative license renewal rules.
Scientech Inc.
has supplemented MITRE's work with its special expertise in regulato-v requirements.
It is anticipated that additional expertise in engineering costing will be available through contracts now in place and administered by the Regulations Development Branch, RES.
As the analysis supporting rulemaking progresses, it is possible that special expertise in other areas may be required through additional contractual cssistance.
License renewal rulemaking has the potential for widespread impacts on other regulatory programs and requirements which need to be considered in performing a regulatory analysis on alternative license renewal rules.
Scientech Inc. has substantial expertise in the historical regulatory policy framework from which the current body of regulatory requirements has evolved and the understanding, through experience in their appiication, of the level of safety that the requirements provide.
Under Contract Number NRC-03-85-051, Modification 10, Scientech Inc. assisted in the review of i
"Regulatory Consideration of Issues Pertaining to Nuclear Plant License Renewal:
Status Report" which is being issued as a NUREG for public comment.
Their capabilities contributed to a clearer exposition of the relationship of existing regulatory programs to the regulatory options for license renewal.
OBJECTIVE 4
The objective of this contract is to provide specialized technical assistance to support the development of a proposed license renewal rule and a final license renewal rule.
The contractor will undertake certain review and analysis responsibilities to assist the staf f in assuring accurate and I
T a
consistent representation of NRC's regulatory requirements and programs in documents developed to support rulemaking.
The contractor will also provide technical assistance in planning, organizing, and conducting public meetings.
WORK REQUIREMENTS Task 1 - Support the Development of a Propos.ed Lice.nse Rene.wal_ Rule Subtask 1.a, Alternative License Renewal Rules in this subtask, Scientech will undertake specific studies and will participate with the License Renewal Steering Committee and MITRE in critiquing documentation developed by MITRE which structure specific alternative rules for license renewal.
Scientech will especially focus on assuring that interrelationships of the proposed regulations and existing regulatory programs are clearly identified and accurated for.
This subtask is divided into four work elements.
(i)
Complete the computerized information base and analysis started under Contract Number NRC-03-85-051, Modification 10.
This data base focuses on Standard Review Plans (SRPs), recent policy statements, and includes summary evaluations of the applicability of SRPs, Regulatory Guides, and other regulatory guidance cited in the SRPs to license renewal.
There are approximately 220 SRPs and a dozen policy statements included in the data base.
In completing the data base Scientech will incorporate appropriate related information being developed in RES, NRR and MITRE.
Upgrading of the data base will be completed by early November 1988 and revised as determined necessary in the course of using it through the completion of Task 1.
Under this work element, one Scientech engineer will attend and assist the Task Manager in covering the sessions of the ANS Topical Meeting on Nuclear Power Plant Life Extension, July 31 to August 3,1988 in Snowbird, Utah.
This is a major international meeting of significance to license renewal rulemaking.
(ii)
Develop topical papers recommending positions on relationship of three existing regulatory requirements to license renewal.
These requirements are material alteration, backfit, and timing of license application. A briefing on the preliminary positions on the three requirements will be provided to NRC by mid-Octobei 1988 and final letter report by December 1988.
(iii)
Participate in review and discussions of MITRE documentation in the development of a proposed rule and alternative rules.
Under the contract previously identified, Scientech staf f attended briefings by HITRE in April and May 1988 on specification of proposed and alternative rules.
Based on the progress already made in the first work element above, Scientech will develop a report discussing the interrelationship of existing regulatory requirements and the proposed and alternative rules as specified in the previous HITRE briefings.
This report, of about 25 to 50 pages, will be completed by mid-September 1983.
Shortly after submittal, a meeting will be scheduled for discussion of the 1
i
g a
e i
letter report.
By the end of November, MITRE will submit a dra f t report which describes the proposed and alternative rules.
This report will likely be about 40 to 50 pages.
Scientech will review this report with regard to existing regulatory requirements; will participate in a one-day meeting to discuss the draft report, to be held about one week af ter the report is submitted; and will submit comments and recommendations for changes to the draf t reporc one week after the meeting.
(iv)
Based primarily on existing knowledge of foreign nuclear power regulatory programs, Scientech will develop a letter report recommending an approach to how foreign regulatory regimes should be considered in developing the proposed rule.
It is anticipated this report will be about 10 to 15 pages.
Subtask 1.6 - Public Meeting Scientech will assist the license Renewal Task Manager in planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating a two-day public meeting to discuss comments received on NUREG-1317, "Regulatory Options for Nuclear Plant license Renewal." The meeting is expected to be held in early November 1988, about four to five weeks after the close of the public comment period.
This subtatk is divided into three work olements.
(i)
Propose structure and approach for public meeting.
At least five days prior to the end of the comment period, Scientech will present its tentative proposed structure and approach to the Task Manager and other NRC staf f.
This meeting will be for one-half day.
About 75 to 100 responses ranging from one to as many as 100 pages are anticipated. Within eight days after the close of the comment period, Scientech will complete its.eview of the comments and deliver to the Task Manager a document which identifies priority issues to be covered, a proposed agenda, and a plan for organizing and conducting th? meeting.
It is anticipated that 10 to 20 priority issues will be identified.
A one-day meeting with appropriate NRC staff will be held after NRC's receipt of the document to determine the final agenda and agree upon details of how the public meeting is to be organized and conducted.
(11)
Support NRC in preparing for and conducting the public meeting.
Based upon the guidance provided by NRC in work element 1.b(i),
Scientech will draft a set of visual aids for each of the presentations to be made by NRC personnel.
These will be thoroughly reviewed with the NRC speaker and other appropriate NRC staff, end revised accordingly.
NRC speakers will be Branch Chiefs or higher, it is anticipated that about six NRC presentations will be made early in the agenda.
Scientech staff will monitor discussion during the public meeting and be prepared to respond to requests for information from the NRC staff.
(iii)
Evaluate public meeting.
Scientech will review the transcript of the public meeting 49d its own notes and evaluate any new information, or insights gained, with regard to existing
k e
.e regulations and policies relative to the propose'd and al'ternative rules.
This report is due four weeks af ter the public meeting.
SubtaskJ.,c - Specifications for Regulatory Analysis A specifications document for conducting regulatory analyses of alternative license renewal rules will be developed by MITRE prior to performing the analyses and writing the Draf t Regulatory Analysis.
Scientech's contribution will be to participate in scoping, and reviewing the document and providing specified analysis to assure that the interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulation and existing regulatory programs are fully addressed. An initial scoping meeting was heli in mid-May 1988 which Scientech attended under the previous contract.
A second scoping meeting will be held in late August 1988.
Scientech is responsible for providing a section of the specifications document covering the interrelationship of proposed alternative license renewal regulations and existing regulatory programs. A v aft specifications document is due in late November 1988.
Scientech will review the complete draft document to assure appropriate integration of the section for which it was responsible.
A one-day review meeting on the specifications document will be held about a week after it is received.
Scientech will of fer any required changes at that teeting.
S.ubtask_id - Dr_a f t, Re, quia tory Ana ly_si s A Draf t Regulatory Analysis will be written during the period December 1988 through February 1989.
This subtask is divided into two work elements.
(1)
Scientech will be responsible for writit g the section on the interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulations and existing regulations, policies, and programs.
This effort will build directly on the work accomplished in the previous subtasks. The products of this work element will be a report suitable for publication as an appendix to the Regulatory Analysis or as a separate NUREG/CR and a 10 to 15 page summary for inclusion as a section in the main body of the Regulatory Analysis.
The larger report will likely be 50 to 100 pages.
These documents are due by the end of January 1989.
(11)
Assist in the review and technical editing of the Regulatory Analysis.
During the month of February 1989, Scientech will participate in reviewing and editing the complete Regulatory Analysis Document to assure accuracy and consistency of treatment, not only in the areas for which it was responsible, but also throughout the document.
The initial review will be completed in mid-February 1989, at which time NRC staff and contractors will have a 2 to 3 day working session to discuss proposed changes, identify deficiencies, and assign responsibility for correcting the deficiencies.
Scientech may be assigned to correct some deficiencies.
The Regulatory Analysis will be ready for final editing by March 3,1989.
SuStask 1.e - A sistance Ouring NRC Review of Proposed _ Rule t
o.
Scientech will provide assistance in preparing briefings, respond'ing to substantive questions raised during the internal review of tho rulemaking package, and revising the Regulatory Analysis when necessary.
At least five briefings will be required during the internal review period f rom March through August 1989.
The briefings will be to RES management, NRR and other interested Offices, CRGR, ACRS, and the Commission.
Given the technical and policy complexity of license renewal rulemaking, it is likely that numerous editorial and substantive changes will be required in the rulemaking package during the course of internal review.
The interrelationships of proposed alternative if cense renewal regulations and existing regulatory programs are expected to be of special interest and controversy,
_ Task 2 - Support the Development of a Final License Renewal Rule Subtask 2.a - Prepare _a J!eeds_ Rep _ ort on Regulatory Guidance Requirod to 1.mplement the Proposed License Re.newal Rule The Regulatory Analysis will include an overview discussion of the requirements for implementing license renewal regulations.
A more rigorous analysis must be undertaken, however, to specify the form and content of regulatory guidance required to implement the proposed role nn licenso renewal.
NRC must soon develop a work plan to ensure that necessary regulatory guidance, to applicants and staff reviewers, is in placo by tho early 1990s.
To aid NRC in developing a work plan, Scientech will prepare a needs report.
This needs report will systematically:
(1) identify all the topics and issues for which regulatory guida,ce is required; (2) rocommend form and centent of the guidance, being specific as to Regulatory Guides and Standard Review Plans; (3) identify ongving NRC programs directly relevant to the development of regulatory guidance; and (4) identify additional areas of research and analysis which should be undertaken to support the development of Regulatory Guides and Standard Review Plans for license renewal.
It is anticipated that the needs report will be between 100 and 150 pages in length.
This subtask is divided into six work elements.
(i)
Brief the Steering Committee on the proposed scope of the needs paper, in late January 1989.
Provide a 10 to 20 page discussion paper at least three days prior to the briefing.
The briefing will take one-half day.
4 (ii)
Brief the Steering Committee on the preliminary list of topics and issues for which regulatory guidance is required, in early March 1989.
Provide a 10 to 20 page discussion paper at least three j
days prior to the briefing.
The briefing will take one-half day.
(iii)
Brief the Steering Committee on the preliminary recommended form and content of the regulatory guidance, in late March 1989.
Provide a 10 to 20 page discussion paper at least three days prior to the briefing.
The briefing will take one-half day.
(iv)
Brief the Steering Committee on the ongoing NRC programs directly relevant to the development of regulatory guidance, in mid-April 1989.
Provide a 10 to 20 page discussion paper at least three days prior to the briefing.
The briefing will take one-half day.
~-
r a
t.
(v)
Brief the Steering Committee on the preliminary assessment of additional areas of research and analysis which should be undertaken to support the development of Regulatory Guides and Standard Review plans for license renewal, in early May 1989.
Provide a 10 to 20 page discussion paper at least three days prior to the briefing.
The briefing will take one-half day.
(vi)
Submit the needs report.
The needs report will be developed concurrently with performance of the previous five work elements.
The report will consider comments and any specific guidance resulting f rom prior briefings.
A complete draft report will be submitted for internal NRC review in early June 1989.
Comments on the draf t report will be provided to Scientech within about four weeks from submittal.
A one-to-two-day meeting will be held about a week thereaf ter for Scientech and NRC staf f to discuss the report and comment on it.
The final report will be due four weeks after the review meeting.
It is anticipated that the report will be 100 to 150 pages in length.
S ub t.a s k. 2. b - Pub l i c _Me e_t i..n g s The staf f expects to hold one two-day meeting in the vicinity of each of the five NRC Regional Offices, shortly;after publication of the proposed license renewal rule in the Federal Regj ster, to discuss the content of and rational for the proposed rule.
It is anticipated that these meetings will be held in October and November 1989.
Scientech will assist the License Renewal Task Manager in planning, organizing and conducting those public meetings.
This subtask is divided into three work elements.
(i)
Support NRC in planning and preparing for the public meetings.
Based upon its understandinn of the proposed license renewal rule gained through participation in the development of the proposed rule, Scientech will submit a proposed structure and content for NRC presentations at the pubile meetings, by mid-August 1989.
NRC staf f will review the proposal and will provide further guidance for the development of the presentations.
By mid-September 1989, Scientech will furnish NRC with a set of visual aids for each presentation.
These will be reviewed by NRC staff who will meet with Scientech about a week af ter receipt to discuss the material and provide further guidance.
It is anticipated that five separate briefings running a total of about three hours will be prepared.
Scientech will also prepare six copies of a briefing book, by late September 1989, which will provide important background information and answer questions which may be asked of HRC speakers during the public meetings.
(11)
Support NRC in conducting the public meetings.
Scientech staff will monitor discussion during each public meeting and be prepared to respond to requests for information from the NRC staf f.
It is anticipated that two professional staf f members f rom Scientech will attend each public meeting.
(iii)
Evaluate public meeting.
Scientech will review the
e e
g r
transcripts of the public meetings and its own notes, and develop any information based on issues and concerns which can later be merged with written comments received on the proposed rule.
This information base shall be completed one month after the last public meeting.
Subtask 2.c - Respon.se.to_Publ.ic_ Comments it is anticipated that public comments on the proposed license renewal rule will be substantive and broad in scope. Approximately 200 responses are anticipated.
It is likely that many issues regarding interrelationships of the proposed license renewal regulation and existing regulatory programs will be raised and will require additional analyses to develop a staf f response.
This subtask is divided into three work elements.
(i)
Screen responses for comments related to the interrelationships of the proposed rule and existing regulatory programs.
At the same time, the staff and MITRE will be screening and ca(drizing.
The 3
results of the three sorting ef forts will be compared and comments j
assigned for draf ting responses.
It is assumed that there will be 200 responses received, averaging 10 pages each.
It is j
anticipated that thi work will be accomplished in January 1990.
(11)
Draf t responses to public comments.
It is anticipated that the interrelationships of the proposed rule and existing regulatory programs will be on.e of the major areas industry will focus on.
Comments will Itkely range from substantive issues not previously 1
treated, or inadequately treated, to those needing only
-j clarification through minor editing.
It is anticipated that Ocientech will be assign 1:
6 major substantive issues to handle; 12 minor issues to treat; and, 20 routine issues needing clarification rather than new or additional analyses.
This effort i
includes gathering required information, additional analyses, draf ting, review by NRC, and rewriting.
It is anticipated that this work will be accomplished during the period February 1990 through early May 1990.
l (iii)
Participate in a final comprehensive review of all responses to public comments to assure consistency with the i
responses draf ted by Scientech.
It is anticipated that the document summarizing the responses to comments will be about 100 pages, Any inconsistencies found will be reviewed and resolved with the participation of the full review team.
It is anticipated that this work will be accomplished by late May 1990.
Subtask 2.d - Assess the Need to Revise the Proposed Rule and the lupportino Renulatory Analysis and Make_ the Necessary Revisions.
It is anticipated that some revision of the proposed rule and/or the Regulatory Analysis will be required, based on public comments and further staff deliberation of the proposed rule.
Scientech will assist in the assessment and make any required revisions relative to the topical areas for which it was responsible. This subtask is divided into two work elements.
O 1
e i
(1)
Scientech will assist the Task Manager in scoping and developing an agenda for a two-day workshop in which NRC staf f will focus on what changes in the license renewal rule are des rable.
At the same time the need to revise the Regulatory Analysis will be examined.
Relative to its topical areas of responsibility, Scientech will prepare appropriate briefing materials, and support staff discussion.
The workshop will be held in late April 1990.
(ii)
Scientech will revise the sections of the Regulatory Analysis for which it has been responsible in accordance with guidance provided from the workshop.
Revisions will be submitted by early June 1990.
Subtask 2.e - Assistance During NRC Review of [_inal _ Rule Scientech will provide assistance in preparing briefings, responding to substantive questions raised during the internal review of the final rulemaking package, and in revising the rulemaking package when necessary.
At least five briefings will be required during the internal review period f rom July 1990 through December 1990.
The briefings will be to RES management, NRR and other interested Of fices, CRGR, ACRS, and the Commission. Given the extensive review and revision process that will have already taken place, significant revisions are not anticipated.
It is anticipated, however, that there will be numerous questions concerning requirements to implement the rule.
Scientech will provide support based on knowledge gained under Subtas6 2 a.

Delete Section C.) entitled "STATEMENT Of WORK" in its entirety and substitute in lien thereof the following:
C.1 STATEMENT OF VORK BACKGROUD INFORMATION The Reactor and Plant Safety Issues Branch (RPStB) has the lead responsibility for rulemaking on renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses. Although license renewal is permitted under 10 CFR Chapter 1, the regulations provide no guidance to potential applicants as to what information and analyses should be submittrd in support of renewal application and no guid&nce to the NRC staf f as to how the anplication should b* reviewed or what should be the terms and conditions of a renewed license.
The first application for license renewal is anticipated in 1991.
The RPSIB has a program underway to develop a liconse renewal role The schedule calls for a proposed rule and supporting regulater.
'y to be completed by the Spring of 1989, to be published by the Ft l'u,v, and for the final role to be published in 1991.
To suppert te
.siemaking, technical assistance is required in numerous areas of cxpertise including systems engineering, nuclear power. plant design aad operation, and related regulatory programs and requirements.
The MITRE Corporation, under Contract Number NRC-04-87-399, is providing overall support in the idmitification of regulatory options, alternative rules and specifications for conducting regulatory analyses of alternative license renewd rules.
Scientech inc.
has supplemented MITRE's work with its special expertise in regulatory requirements, it is anticipated that additional errectise in engineering costing will be available through contracts now in place and administered by the Regulations Development Branch, RES.
As the analysis supporting rulemaking progresses, it is possible that special expertise in other areas l
may be required through additional contractual assistance.
I l
License renewal rulemaking has the pctential for widespread impacts on other regulatory programs and requirements which need to be considered in performina a regulatory analysir on alternative license renewal rules.
Scientech Inc. has substantial expertise in the hittorical regulatory policy framework from which the current body of regulatory requircments has evolved and the understanding, through experience in their application, of the level of safety that the requiremen'.s provide.
Under Contract Number NRC-03-85-051 Modification 10, Scientech Inc. assisted in the review of "Regulatory Consideration of issues Pertaining to Nuclear Plant License Renewal:
Status Report" which is being issued as a NUREG for public comment.
Their capabilities contributed to a clearer exposition of the relationship of existing regulatory programs to the regulatory options for license renewal.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this contract is to provide specialized technical assistance to support the development of a proposed license renewal rule and i
a final li*.ense renewal rule.
The contractor will undertake certtin review and analysis responsibilities to assist the staf f in assuring accurate and 1
f o
o.
consistent representation of NRC's regulatory requiren ents and programs in documents developed to support rulemaking.
The contractor will also provide technical assistance in planning, organizing, and conducting public meetings.
WORK REQUIREMENTS Task 1 - Supp. ort the Development of a Proposed License Renewal. Rule Subtask 1.a - Alternative !icense Renewal Rules In this subtask, Scientech will undertake specific studies and will participate with the License Renewal Steering Committee and MITRE in critiquing documentation developed by MITRE which structure specific alternative rules for license renewal.
Scientech will especially fccus on assuring that interrelationships of the proposed regulaticns and esisting regulatory r.rograms are clearly identified and accurated for.
This subtask is divided into four work elements.
(i)
Complete the computerized information base and analysis started under Contract Number NRC-03-85-051, Modification 10.
This data base focuses on Standard Review Plans (SRPs), recent oolicy statements, and includes summary evaluations of the applicability of SRPs, Regulatory Guides, and other regulatory guidance cited in the SRPs to licer.se renewal.
There are approximately 220 SRPs and a dozen policy statements included in the data base.
in completing the data base Scientech will incorporate appropriate related information being developed in RES, NRR and MITRE.
Upgrading of the data base will be completed by early November 1988 and revised as determined necessary in the course of using it through the completion of Task 1.
Under this work element, one Scientech engineer will attend and assist the Task Manager in covering the sessions of the ANS Topical Meeting on Nuclear Power Plant Life Extension, July 31 to August 3, 1988 in Snowbird, Utah.
This is a major international meeting of significance to license renewal rulemaking.
(ii)
Develop topicai papers recommending positions on relationship of three existing regulatory requirements to license renewal.
These requirements are material alteration, backfit, and timing of license application. A briefing on the preliminary positions on the three requiremen.s will be provided to NRC by mid-October 1988 and final letter report by December 1988.
(iii)
Participate in review and discussions of MITRE documentation in the development of a proposed rule and alternative rules.
Under the contract previously identified, Scientech staff attended briefings by HITRE in April and May 1988 on specification of proposed and alternative rules.
B. sed on the progress already made in the first work element, above, Scientech will develop a report discussing the interrelationship of existing regulatory l
requirements and the proposed and alternative rules as specified I
in the previous MITRE briefing.
This report, of about 25 to 50 pages, will be completed by mid-September 1988.
Shortly after submittal, a meeting will be scheduled for discussion of the
0 0
letter report.
By the end of November, MITRE will submit a draf t report which describes the proposed and alternative rules.
This report will likely be about 40 to 50 pages.
Scientech will review this report with regard to existing regulatory requirements; will participate in a one-day meeting to discuss the draf t report, to be held about one week af ter the report is submitted; and will submit comments and recommendations for changes to the draf t report one week after the meeting.
(iv)
Based primarily on existing knowledge of foreign nuclear power regulatory programs, Scientech will develop a letter report recommending an approach to how foreign regulatory regimes should be considered in developing the proposed rule.
It is anticipated this report will be about 10 to 15 pages.
Subtask 1.b - public Meeting Scientech will assist the License Renewal T sk Manager in planning, t
organizing, conducting and evaluating a two-day public meeting to discuss comments received on NUREG-1317, "Regulatory Options for Nuclear plant License Renewal." The meeting is expected to be held in early November 1988, about four to five weeks af ter the close of the public comment period.
This subtask is divided into three work elements.
(i) propose structure and approach for public meeting. At least five days prior to the end of the comment period, Scientech will present its tentative proposed structure and approach to the Task i
Manager and other NRC staf f.
This meeting will be for one-half day. About 75 to 100 responses ranging from one to as nary as 100 pages are anticipated.
Within eight days af ter the close of the comment period, Scientech will complete Its review of the comments and deliver to the Task Manager a document which identifies
[
priority issues to be covered, a proposed agenda, and a plan for organizing and conducting the meeting.
It is anticipated that 10 to 20 priority issues will be identified.
A one-day meeting with appropriate NRC staff will be held af ter NRC's receipt of the document to deternine the final agenda and agree upon details of how the public meeting is to be organized and conducted.
(11)
Support NRC in preparing for and conducting the public meeting.
Based upon the guidance provided by NRC in work element 1.b(i),
Scientech will draf t a set of visual aids for each of the presentations to be made by NRC personnel.
These will be thoroughly reviewed with the NRC speaker and other appropriate NRC l
staff, and revised accordingly.
NRC speakers will be Branch Chiefs or higher.
It is anticipated that about six NRC presentations will be made early in the agenda.
Scientech staff will monitor discussion during the public meeting and be prepared to respond to requests for information f rom the NRC staf f.
(iii)
Evaluate public meeting.
Scientech will review the transcript of the public meeting and its own notes and evaluate an) new information, or insights gained, with regard to existing I
M e
6 regulations and policies relative to the propose'd and al'ternative rules.
This report is due four weeks after the public. meeting.
Subt.ask.l.c - Specifications for Regulatory Analysis A specifications document for conducting regulatory analyses of alternative license renewal rules will be developed by MITRE prior to performing the analyses and writing the Draf t Regulatory Analysis.
Scientech's contribution will be to participate in scoping, and reviewing the document and providing specified analysis to assure that the interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulation and existing regulatory programs are fully addressed. An initial scoping meeting was held in mid-May 1988 which Scientech attended under the previous contract.
A second scoping meeting will be held in late August 1988.
Scientech is responsible for providing a section of the specifications document covering the interrelationship of proposed alternative license renewal regulations and ex i s t ing regula tory programs. A dra f t speci fica tions document is due in late November 1988.
Scientech will review the complete draf t document to assure appropriate integration of the section for which it was responsible.
A one-day review meeting on the specifications document will be held about a week af ter it is received.
Scientech will offer any required changos at that meeting.
Subta.sk 1.d - Draf t ut gulatory Analysis A Draft Regulatory Analysis will be written during the period December 1988 through February 1989.
This subtask is divided into two work elements.
(i)
Scientech will be responsible for writing the section on the interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulations and existing regulations, policies, and programs.
This ef fort will build directly on the work accomplished in the previous subtasks.
The products of this work element will be a report suitable for publication as an appendix to the Regulatory Analysis or as a separate NUREG/CR and a 10 to 15 page summary for inclusion as a section in the nain body of the Regulatory Analysis.
The larger report will likely be 50 to 100 pages.
These documents are due by the end of January 1989.
(11)
Assist in the review and technical editing of the Regulatory Analysis.
During the month of February 1989, Scientech will participate in reviewing and editing the complete Regulatory Analysis Document to assure accuracy and consistency of treatment, not only in the areas for which it was responsible, but also throughout the document.
The initial review will be completed in mid-February 1989, at which time NRC staff and contractors will have a 2 to 3 day working session to discuss proposed changes, identify deficiencies, and assign responsibility for correcting the deficiencies.
Scientech may be assigned to correct some deficiencies.
The Regulatory Analysis will be ready for final editing by March 3,1989.
Subtask 1.e - Assistance During_NRC Revi_ew of Proposed Rule

package, and revising the Regulatory Analysis when necessary.
At least five briefings will be required during the internal review period f rom March through August 1989.
The briefings will be to RES manaqcment, NRR and other interested Offices, CRGR, ACRS, and the Commission.
Given the technical and policy complexity of license renewal rulemaking, it is likely that numerous editorial and substantive changes will be required in the rulemaking package during the course of internal review, The interrelationships of proposed
)
alternative license renewal regulations and existing regulatory programs are expected to be of special interest and controversy.
T a s.L 2 - Support the Development of a fina.1 License Renewal Rule SubtasL 7.a - prepare s Needs Report on Regulatory Guidance Requirod to implement the Proposed License Renewal Rule
)
The Regulatory Analysis will include an overview discussion of the i
requirements for implementing license renewal regulations, A more rigorous analysis must be undertaken, however, to specify the form and content of regulatory guidance required to implement the proposed rule nn licenso renewal.

Delete Section C.) entitled "STATEMENT Of WORK" in its entirety and substitute in lieu thereof the following:
C,1 STATEMENT OF WORK BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Reactor and Plant Safety Issues Branch (RpSIB) has the lead responsibility for rulemaking on renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses. Although license renewal is permitted under 10 CFR Chapter 1, the regulations provide no guidance to potential applicants as to what information and analyses should be submitted in support of renewal application and no guidance to the NRC staff as to how the application should be reviewed or what should be the terms and conditions of a renewed l ic e rise.
The first application for license renewal is anticipated in 1991.
The RPSIB has a program underway to develop a license renewal rule.
The schedule calls for a proposed rule and supporting regulatory analysis to be completed by the Spring of 1989, to be published by the Fall of 1989, and for the final ru'e to be published in 1991.
To support this rulemaking, technical assistance is required in numerous areas of expertise including systems engineering, nuclear power. plant design and operation, and related regulatory programs and requirements.
The MITRE Corporation, under Contract Number NRC-04-87-399, is providing overall support in the identification of 1
regulatory options, alternative rules and specifications for conducting regulatory analyses of alternative license renewal rules.
Scientech Inc.
has supplemented MITRE's work with its special expertise in regulatory requirements.
it is anticipated that additional expertise in engineering costing will be available through contracts now in place and administered by the Regulations Development Branch, RES.
As the analysis supporting rulemaking progresses, it is possible that special expertise in other areas may be required through additional contractual assistance.
t License renewal rulemaking has the potential for widespread impacts on other regulatory programs and requirements which need to be considered in performing a regulatory analysis on alternative license renewal rules.
Scientech Inc. has substantial expertise in the historical regulatory policy framework from which the current body of regulatory requirements has evolved and the understanding, through experience in their application, of the level of safety that the requirements provide.
Under Contract Number NRC-03-85-051, Modification 10, Scientech Inc. assisted in the review of i
"Regulatory Consideration of Issues pertaining to Nuclear plant License Renewal:
Status Report" which is being issued as a NUREG for public comment.
Their capabilities contributed to a clearer exposition of the relationship of existing regulatory programs to the regulatory options for license renewal, p
OBJECTIVE r
The objective of this contract is to provide specialized technical assistance to support the development of a proposed license renewal rule and l
4 final Itcense renewal rule. The contractor will undertake certain review l
and analysis responsibilities to assist the staff in assuring accurate and
- - ~ ~ - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - ' - - ^--
e consistent representation of NRC's regulatory requirements and programs in documents developed to support rulemaking.
The contractor will also provide technical assistance in planning, organizing, and conducting public meetings.
WORK REQUIREMENTS Task.1 - Support the Development of.a Propos.ed_ Lice _nse. Renewal _ Ru.le Subt.ask_1.a - Al_te.rnative Lt. cense Renewal Rules In this subtask. Scientech otill undertake specific st' dies and will participate with the License Renewal Steering Committee and MITRE in critiquing documentation developed by MITRE which structure specific alternative rules for license renewal.
Scientech will especially focus on assuring that interrelationships of the proposed regulations and en t sting regulatory programs are clearly identified and accurated for.
This subtask is divided into four work elements.
(t)
Complete the computerized information base and analysis started under Contract Number NRC-03-85-05), Modification 10.
This data base focuses on Standard Review Plans (SRPs), recent policy statements, and includes summary evaluations of the applicability of SRPs, Regulatory Guides, and other regulatory cuidance cited in the SRPs to license renewal.
There are approximately 220 SRPs and a dozen policy statements included in the data base.
In completing the data base Scientech will incorporate appropriate related information being developed in RES, NRR and MITRE.
j Upgrading of the data base will be completed by early November 1988 and revised as determined necessary in the course of using it i
through the completion of Task 1.
Under this work element, one Scientech engineer will attend and assist the Task Manager in covering the sessions of the ANS Topical Meeting on Nuclear Power Plant Life Extension, July 31 to August 3,1988 in Snowbird, Utah.
This is a major international meeting of significance to license renewal rulemaking.
(ii)
Develop topical papars recommending positions on relationship of j
three existing regulatory requirenents to license renewal.
These l
requirements are material alteration, backfit, and timing of license application. A briefing on the prelininary positions on i
the three requirements will be provided to NRC by mid-October 1988 and final letter report by December 1988.
(111)
Participate in review and discussions of MITRE documentation in the development of a proposed rule and alternative rules, Under the contract previously identified, Scientech staff attended briefings by HITRE in April and May 1988 on specification of proposed and alternative rules.
Based on the progress already made in the first work element above Scientech will develop a report discussing the interrelationshir of existing regulatory requirements and the proposed and alternative rules as specified in the previous MITRE briefings.
This report, of about 25 to 50 i
pages, will be completed by mid-September 1988.
Shortly after submittal, a meeting will be scheduled for discussion of the
letter report.
By the end of November, MITRE will submit a draf t report which describes the proposed and alternative rules.
This report will likely be about 40 to 50 pages.
Scientech will review j
this report with regard to existing regulatory requirements; will participate in a one-day meeting to discuss the draft report, to be held about one week af ter the report is submitted; and will submit comments and recommendations for changes to the draf t report one week after the meeting.
(iv)
Based prinarily on existing knowledge of foreign nuclear power regulatory programs, Scientech will develop a letter report recommending an approach to how foreign regulatory regimes should be considered in developing the proposed rule, it is anticipated this report will be about 10 to 15 pages.
2 Subtask 1.b - public Meeting Scientech will assist the Ltcense Renewal Task Manager in planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating a two-day public meeting to discuss j
comments received on NUREG-1317, "Regulatory Options for Nuclear plant License Renewal " The meeting is expected to be held in early November 1988, about four to five weeks af ter the close of the public comment period.
This subtask is divided into three work elements.
(i) propose structure and approach for public meeting.
At least five 1
days prior to the end of the comment period, Scientech will present its tentative proposed structure and approach to the Task Manager and other NRC staf f.
This meeting will be for one-half day.
About 75 to 100 responses ranging from one to as many as 100 pages are anticipated.
Within eight days after the close of the 1
comment period. Scientech will complete its review of the comments 1
and deliver to the Task Manager a document which identifies l
priority issues to be covered, a proposed agenda, and a plan for
~
organizing and conducting the meeting, It is anticipated that 10 to 20 priority issues will be identified.
A one-day meeting with appropriate NRC staff will be held af ter NRC's receipt of the j
document to determine the final agenda and agree upon details of how the public meeting is to be organized and conducted.
f (ii)
Support NRC in preparing for and conducting the public meeting.
Based upon the guidance provided by NRC in work element 1.b(1),
Scientech will draf t a set of visual aids for each of the presentations to be made by NRC personnel.
These will be thoroughly reviewed with the NRC speaker and other appropriate NRC staff, and revised accordingly.
NRC speakers will be Branch d
Chiefs or higher.
It is anticipated that about six NRC presentations will be made early in the agenda.
Scientech staff will monitor discussion during the pubtle meeting and be prepared I
i to respond to requests for information from the NRC staff.
(iii)
Evaluate public meeting.
Scientech will review the transcript of the public meeting and its own notes and evaluate any new information, or insights gained, with regard to existing 1
o e
regulations and policies relative to the propose'd and al'tornative rules.
This report is due four weeks after the publir meeting.
5_ubtask _l.c - Specifications for Regulatory Analysis A specifications document for conducting regulatory analyses of alternative license renewal rules will be developed by MITRE prior to performing the analyses and writing the Draf t Regulatory Analysis.
Scientech's contribution will be to participate in scoping, and reviewing the document L
and providing specified analysis to assure that the interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulation and existing regulatory programs are f ully addre ssed. An initial scoping meeting was hold in nid-May 1988 which Scientech attended under the previous contract A second scoping necting will be held in late August 1988.
Scientech is responsible for providing a section of the specifications document covering tha interrelationship of proposed altcrnative license renewal regulations and entsting regulatory programs. A draf t specifications document is due in late November 1988.
Scientech will review the complete draft docurent to assure appropriate integration of the section for which it was responsible.
A one-day review m(eting on the specifications document will be held about a week after it is rec 3ived.
Scientech will offer any required changes at that meeting.
Sub_ta sL 1,d - Dr,a f t Regul.atory Analysi s A Draft Regulatory Analysis will be written during the period Cecerbor 1988 through February 1989.
This subtask is divided into two work elements.
(i)
Scientech will be responsible for writing the section on the interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulations and existing regulations, policies, and programs.
This ef fort will build directly on the work accomphshed in the previous subtasks.
The products of this work element will be a report suitable for publication as an appendia to the Regulatory Analysis or as a separate NUREG/CR and a 10 to 15 page summary for inclusion as a section in the main body of the Regulatory Analysis.
The larger report will likely be 50 to 100 pages.
These documents are due by the end of January 1989.
(ii)
Assist in the review and technical editing of the Regulatory Analysis.
During the month of February 1989. Scientech will participate in reviewing and editing the complete Regulatory Analysis Document to assure accuracy and consistency of treatment, i
not only in the areas for which it was responsibi3, but also threughout the document.
The initial review will be completed in mid-February 1989, at which time NRC staf f and contractors will have a 2 to 3 day workiss session to discuss prorcstd changes, identify deficiencies, and assign responsibility for correcting i
the deficiencies Scientech may be assigned to correct some deficiencies.

At least five briefings will be required during the internal review period from March through August 1989.
The briefings will be to RES management, NRR and other 1
Interested Offices, CRGR, ACR$. and the Commission. Given the technical and policy complexity of license renewal rulemaking, it is likely that numerous editorial and substantive changes will be required in the rulemaling package during the course nf internal review.
The interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulations and existing regulatory programs are empocted in be of special interest and controversy,
. Task 2 - Support the Development of a final License Renewal Rule Subtasi 2.a - Prepare a. Nee _ds Report _gry Regulatory Guidance Required to Irplement the Proposed License Renewal Rule The Regulatory Analysis will include an overview discussion cf the requirements for irtplementing license renewal regulations.
A move rigorous analysis must be undertaken, however, to specify the form and content of regulatory guidance required to irnplement the proposed rule on liennse rereaal.
NRC Tust soon develop a work plan to ensure that necessary regulatory guidance, to applicantsiand staff reviewers, is in place by the i
early 1990s To aid NRC in developing a work plan, Scientech will prepare a needs report.
This needs report will systematically:
(1) identify all the topics and issues for which regulatory guidance is required; (2) rerntwend forr and content of the guidance, being specific as to Regulatory Guides and Standard Review plans; (3) identify ongoing NRC programs directly relevant to the development of regulatory guidance; and (1) identify additional areas i
of research and analysis which should be undertaken to support the development of Regulatory Guides and Standard Review Plans for license renewal.

transcripts of the public meetings and its own notes, and develop any information based on issues and concerns which can later be merged with written comments received on the proposed rule.
This information base shall be completed one month after the last I
oublic meeting.
I Subtas}._2,c - Response to Public Comments it is anticipated that public comments on the proposed license renewal rule will be substantive and broad in scope, Approximately 200 responses are anticipated.
It is likely that many issues regarding interrelationships of l
the proposed license renewal regulation 4 J existing reculatory programs will be raised and will require additional analyses to develop a staf f response.
This suhtask is divided into three wnrk elements.
I (1)
Screen responses for com! rents related to the interrelationships of i
the proposed rule and existing regulatory programs.
At the same time, the staf f aa.d MITRE will be screening and ca$rizing.
The results of the three sorting efforts will be compared and comments assigned for drafting responses.
It is assumed that there will be 200 responses received, averaging 10 pages each.
It is c
anticipated that this work will be accomplished in January 1990.
l (ii)
Draf t responses to public coments.
It is anticipated that the
(
J l
interrelationships of the proposed rule and existing regulatory programs will be one of the msjor areas industry will focus on.
Co m ents will likely range from substantive issues not previously treated, or inadequately treated, to those needing only clarification through minor editing.
It is anticipated that Scientech will be assigned:
6 major substantive issues to handle; i
12 minor issues to treat; and, 20 routine issues needing L
clarification rather than new or additional analyses.
This effort includes gathering required information, additional analyses, l
draf ting, review by NRC, and rewriting.
It is anticipated that this work will be accomplished during the period February 1990 through early Hay 1990.
I (111)
Participate in a final comprehensive review of all responses to public corcents to assure consistency with the responses draf ted by Scientech,
!t is anticipated that the document summarizing the responses to comments will be about 100 pages.
Any inconsistencies found will be reviewed and resolved with the participation of the full review team, It is ant.icipated that this work will be accomplished by late May 1990,
}ubtask 2.d - Assess the Need to Revise the Propn ed Rule and the Supportj.ng_Resulatory Analys_is and Make the Necessary Revisions It is anticipated that some revision of the proposed rule and/or the
}
Regulatory Analysis will be required, based on public comments and further staff deliberation of the proposed rule.
Scientech will assist in the
{
assessment and make any required revisions relative to the topical areas for j
which it was responsible.
This subtask is divided into two work elements.
i i
4 (1)
Sc '.m t
.i.
assist the T.sk Manager in scoping and developing 4
an it..e i
.. a two day workshop in which NRC staff will focus on i
what Gio.iges in the license renewal rule are desirable.
At the same time the need to revise the Regulatory Analysis will be examined.
Relative to its topical areas of responsibility, i
Scientech will prepare appropriate briefing materials, and support i
staff discussion.
The workshop will be held in late April 1990.
(ii)
Scientech will revise the sections of the Regulatory Analysis for which it has been responsible in accordance with guidanco provided from the workshop.
Revisions will be submitted by early. lune 1990.
Subtas.k,7,_e - Assistance Ouring NRC Review of,Fjnal,_ Rule Scientech will provide assistance in preparing briefings, responding to substantive questions raised during the internal review of the final i
rulemaking package, and in revising the rulemaking package when necessary.
j At least five briefings will be required during the internal review period from July 1990 through December 1990.
The briefings will be to RES
(
management, NRR and other interested Of fices, CRGR, ACRS, and the Commission.
Given the extensive review and revision process that will have already taken place, significant rev.isions are not anticipated.
It is anticipated, however, that there will be numerous questions concerning
(
requirements to implement the rule.
Scientech will provide support based on knowledge gained under Subtask 2.a.

a PAGE 8 RS-RES-88-095 Section C SECTIOM C - DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATION
/ WORK STATEMENT C.1 STATEMENT OF WORK (MAR 1987) 8ACKGROUND INFORMATION The Reactor and Plant Safety Issues Branch (RPSIB) has the lead rr'sponsibility for rulemaking on renewal of nuclear power plant operating licenses.
Although license renewal is permitted under 10 CFR Chapter 1, the regulations provide no guidance to potential applicants as to what information and analyses should be submitted i
in support of renewal appilcation and no guidance to the NRC staff as to how the application should be reviewed or what should be the terms and conditions of a renewed license.
The first application.
for. license renewal is anticipated in 1991.
The RPSIB has a program underway to develop a license renewal rule.
The schedule calls for a proposed rule and supporting regulatory analysis to be completed by the Spring of 1989, to be published by the Fall of 1989, and for the final rule to be published in 1991.
To support this rulemaking technical assistance is required in numerous areas of expertise including systems engineering, nuclear power plant design and operation, and related regulatory programs and requirements.
The MITRE Corporation, under Contract Number NRC-04-87-399, is providing overall support in the identification of regulatory options, alternative rules and specifications for conducting regulatory analyses of alternative Itcense renewal rules.
Scientech Inc. has supplemented MITRE's work with its special expertise in regulatory requirements.
It is anticipated that additional expertise in engineering costing will be available j
through contracts now in place and administered by the Regulations Development Branch, RES.
As the analysis supporting rulemaking progresses, it is possible that special expertise in other areas i
may be required through additional contractual assistance, l
l License renewal rulemaking has the potential for widespread impacts on other regulatory programs and requirements which need to be considered in performing a regulatory analysis on alternative iicenso renewal rules.
Scientech Inc. has substantial expertise in the historical regulatory policy framework from which the current body of regulatory requirements has evolved and the understanding, through experience in thei application, of the level of safety that the t
requirements prov de.
Under Contract Number NRC-03-85-051, Modification 10, Scientech Inc. assisted in th9 review of l
"Regulatory Consideration of Issues Pertaining to Nuclear Plant License Renewal:
Status Rerort" which is being issued as a NUREG I
PAGE 9 RS-RES-88-095 Section C for pubile comment.
Their capab!11ttes contributed to a clearer exposition of the relationship of existing regulatory programs to the regulatory options for if cense renewal.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this contract is to provide specialized technical assistance to support the development of a proposed license renewal rule and a final license renewal rule.
The contractor will undertake certain review and analysis responsibilities to assist the staff in assuring accurate and consistent representation of NRC's regulatory requirements and programs in documents ieveloped to support rulemaking.
The contractor will also provide technical and administrative assistance in planning, organizing, and conducting public meetings.
WORK REQUIREMENTS Task 1 - Support the Development of a Proposed License Renewal Rule Subtask 1.a - Alternative License Renewal Rules In this subtask Scientech shall participate with the License Renewal Steering Committee in critiquing documentation developed by MITRE which structure specific alternative rules for license renewal and identifies additional information and analysis requirements. Once documentation has been completed by MITRE, it will be made available for Scientech's review.
Scientech will especially focus on assuring that interrelationships of the proposed regulations and existing regulatory programs are c1early identified and accounted for.
Documentation is scheduled to be available for Scientech's review in mid-May 1988 and October 1988.
Scientech shall meet with.' TITRE and the Steering Committee af ter each submittal of documentation (a total of two neetings).
t At these meetings Scientech will be prepared to discuss the adequacy of treatment of the interralationships of the proposed 4
regulations and existing regulatory programs.
These meetings will be held in Bethesda, Maryland and will be one day in duration, i
i Subsequent to each meeting, Scientech will develop its comments in a letter report which will be submitted within three weeks of the meeting.
Subtask 1.b - Public Meeting i
Scientech will assist the License Renewal Task Manager in planning, organizing, conducting and evaluating a public meeting to discuss comments received on the NUREG, "Regulatory Consideration of Issues Pertaining to Nuclear Plant License Renewal:
Status Report." The meeting is expected to be held in mid-October 1988, six weeks after the close of the comment l
period.
This two-day meeting is to be held in Bethesda, Maryland.
Subtask 1.c - Specifications for Regulatory Analysis A snecifications document for conducting regulatory analyses of
a:
PAGE 10 RS-RES-88-095 Section C alternative license renewal rules will be developed by MITRE prior i
to Scientech performing the analyses and providing input to the Draft Regulatory Analysis NUREG.
Scientech shall participate in scoping and reviewing the document and providing specified analysis to assure that the interrelationships of proposed alternative license renewal regulation and existing regulatory programs are fully addressed. A scoping meeting will be held in May in Bethesda, Maryland and is expected to last for 1 1/2 days.
Scientech's specific res;01sibilities will be to provide analyses and written input for the specifications document.
It is estimated that this function will take 1 1/2 staff-months and is expected to take 4-6 weeks.
A draft specifications document is due from MITRE in early July.
The document will be revised to accommodate information and issues identified in public comments on the regulatory options NUREG and the subsequent public meeting, identified in subtask 1.b, Scientech's input to the revised specifications document is due two weeks after the public meeting which is anticipat2d to be held by the end of October 1988.
Subtask 1.d - Draf t Regulatory Analysis A Draft Regulatory Analysis NUREG, to support license renewal r
rulemaking, is scheduled to be developed during the period November 1988 through Februtry 1989.
After the specifications r
document is completed (subtask 1.c) Scientech will have the responsibility of preparing input to sections of the Regulatory Analysis concerning the interrelationships of proposed alternative r
license renewal regulations and existing regulatory programs.
Scientech will also participate in reviewing the complete Draft Regulatory Analysis.
The Oraf t Regulatory Analysis is scheduled tu be completed for Steering Committee and participating contractor review in early January 1989.
The final Draft I
Regulatory Analysis, which will incorporate Scientech's input regard'ng interrelationships of proposed altern:tive Itcense renewal regulation and existing regulatory programs, is scheduled i
for completion by MITRE in mid-February 1989.
P Subtask 1.e - Assistance During NRC Review of Proposed Rule Scientech will provide assistance in preparing briefings and responding to substantive questions raised curing the internal review of the rulemaking package.
It is anticipated that the i
review process will take from late February 1989 through nid-August 1989 before the Commission approves issuance of the l
proposed rule.
t Task 2 - Support the Development of a Final License Renewal Rule Subtask 2.a - Prepare an Issue Paper on Regulatory Guidance Documentation to implement the Proposed License Renewal Rule implementation steps and schedule for the proposed rule will be considered in the Draft Regulatory Analysis but considerably more thought must go into a work plan for developing regulatory guidance for industry and NRC te hnical reviewers.
To aid NRC in i
w PAGE 11 RS-RES-88-095 Section C
.3 developing a work plan Scientech will prepare an issues paper on the scope of regulatory guidance required and considerations in setting work schedule priorities on the various areas or topics for which guidance should be developed.
This paper is to be submitted in June 1989.
Subtask 2.b - Public Meetings The staff expects to hold one two-day meeting in the vicinity of each of the Regional offices shortly after publication of the i
proposed license renewal rule in the Federal Register to discuss the content of and rational for the proposed rule.
It is anticipated these meetings will be in November 1989.
Scientech will assist the License Renewal Task Manager in planning, organizing and conducting these public meetings.
Subtask 2.c - Response to Pubite Comments i
It is anticipated that pubite comments on the proposed rule will be substantive and broad in scope.
It is likely that many issues regarding interrelationships of the proposed alternative license renewal regulation and existing regulatory programs will be raised which will require additional analyset to develo; a staff response.
Scientech will support the staff by performing approximately six major and twelve minor analyses assigned to.It and by participating in the review of approximately ten major and i
ten minor analyses performed by other contractors, as appropriate.
This work will be conducted during the period t
January through April 1990.
