1 Sections addressing requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B; and I
other management commitments.
3.2 Each plan section is controlled and uniquely identified by a j
sequential' numbering system beginning with the number one. Each page in the plan has the following heading:
South Texas Project Electric Generating Station, Operations Quality Assurance Plan, and the section title.
3.3 The Table of Contents contains the number, title, revision and effective date of each section.
l 1
3.4 The Definition portion of the Plan contains commonly used programmatic terms.
Terms that are unique to one section may be defined in that section and not the Definitions portion of the Plan.

. authorized to approve such changes. Temporary changes which
. clearly do not change the intent.of the approved procedure' shall~be made in.accordance with Reference 4.1.. Such changes shall be' documented and, if appropriate, incorporated in the next revision.of the affected procedure.
Guidance shall be provided to identify the manner in which procedures are to be implemented. Examples'of such guidance i
include identification of those tasks that require:
(1) The written procedure to be present and followed step by step while the task is being performed, (2).The operator to have committed the procedural steps to
- memory, (3) Verification of completion of.significant steps, by initials or signatures on checkoff lists.
The types of procedures that shall be present and referred to directly are those developed for extensive or complex tasks where reliance on memory cennot be trusted, e.g.,
reactor startup, tasks whien are infrequently performed, and tasks in which operations must be performed in a specified sequence.
Procedural steps for which actions should be committed to l
memory include, for example, immediate actions in emergency procedures.
Routine procedural actions that are frequently
' repeated may not require the procedure to be present.
If documentation of an action is required tne procedure should be present and followed step by step and necessary data should be recorded as the task is nerformed.

6.3 Reference standards shall have an uncertainty (error) requirement of L
no more.than 1/4 of the tolerance of the equipment or device..being calibrated. When commercial standards with the required uncertainty error are not available, a reference standard may be used if the standard error tolerance is equal to or less than tL error tolerance of the equipment being calibrated; the basis of acceptance is documented; and authorized by responsible management.
In those cases where a reference standard is not traceable to a national standard because a national standard does not exist, the basis for calibration shall be documented.
6.4 Measuring and test equipment shall be uniquely identified. The equipment or records directly traceable to the equipment shall indicate the date of calibration, the initials of the person who calibrated the equipment and the next calibration due date.
