The form number if applicable: Not applicable P
0, 20 m
~,$1060$oM7
4.
How often the collection is required: Use of the new risk-informed methodology for making changes in the licensing basis of operating plants in the areas of inservice inspection (ISI), inservice testing (IST),
graded quality assurance (GQA), and technical specifications (TS), is available to alllicensees but is not required. Licensees may make voluntary submittals when, and if, in their judgment, it is to their advantage to do so (for example, to improve plant safety, reduce costs, gain operating flexibility).

Abstract: In the specific areas of ISI, IST, GQA, and TS, a new series c
I of Regulatory Guides provides a risk-informed method fnr licensees to use in reqesting changes to their current licensing bases (CLB). No l
changes or additions have been made to anv rulee or regulations in conjunction with the issuance of this series of guides. The new method will be a voluntary attemative to the deterrrinistically-based CLB change method previously used (which will remain acceptable as an attemative to the new risk-informed method).
l The new risk-informed altemative method will allow licensees to i
l concentrate on plant equipment and operations that art, most critically important to plant safety so as to achieve a savings in total effort and greater operating flexibility with an insignificant change in overall safety.
)
i The guides specify the records, analyses, and documents that licensees are expected to prepare in support of risk-informed changec to their CLB in the specified areas.
