SUMMARY
OF THE FEBRUARY 12, 2025, PUBLIC MEETING ON THE DRAFT STANDARDIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATIONS On February 12, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff held a virtual comment-gathering meeting with Draft Standardization Recommendations for License Renewal Applications. The public meeting notice is located at Agencywide Documents Access and Management Systems (ADAMS) Accession No. ML25022A233. The list of meeting attendees is included as an Enclosure in this meeting summary.
SUMMARY
The purpose of this meeting was for the NRC staff to discuss and solicit external stakeholder and public comments on the Draft Standardization Recommendations for License Renewal Applications (ML24184C131). The NRC staffs presentation (ML25042A106) provided a background of the NRCs Technical Review Package (TRP) Tool as well as the draft recommendations.
As described in the License Renewal Roadmap (SECY-24-0026, Achieving Timely Completion of License Renewal Safety and Environmental Reviews (License Renewal Roadmap)
(ML24059A131) and SECY-24-0026A (ML24101A364)), the NRC staffs internal tool, the TRP Tool is being modernized to automatically read PDF applications. Standardizing tables, application changes, and nomenclature allows for automatic processing of the submittal to reduce manual efforts and staff hours, while improving accuracy and efficiency.
While standardization of the applications is not a requirement, it contributes to a more efficient staff review. Applications that do not meet the standardization recommendations will be processed manually.

B. Rogers Following the background discussion, the NRC began the comment-gathering portion of the meeting for external stakeholders. The questions and comments made regarding the draft standardization recommendations are noted in Table 1, Standardization of the Application -
Questions & Answers.
Table 1: Standardization of the Application - Questions & Responses Question/Comment NRC Response 1
Would it be possible to send an official test document prior to official submitting to the NRC in order to test out the documents ability to be process automatically with the TRP Tool?
That may be possible; however, any test documents should be sent with enough to time to correct any formatting issues such that it does not impact the original timing of the official submittal.
2 There were several inconsistencies between the GALL-SLR Report and SRP-SLR and the draft Standardization Recommendations for License Renewal Applications.
The NRC will review the GALL-SLR Report, Revision 1 and SRP-SLR, Revision 1 against the final Standardization Recommendations for License Renewal Applications to identify and correct any inconsistencies.
3 Certain component/material/environment/
aging effect combinations have multiple intended functions. Creating individual line items for each intended function may cause issues when updating the specific aging management review line item.
The NRC will update the final recommendations such that line items with multiple intended function do not need to be separated into individual line items.
4 For table items that split out into multiple pages, adding (cont) on the second page of the item creates a hardship on applicants to ensure it is accurately conducted on all row breaks. This applies to Table 2 items and Final Safety Analysis Report Commitments.
The NRC will consider alternative recommendations that do not utilize adding (cont) or similar syntax to line items that span multiple pages.
5 Can the new Appendix A table, described in Section 2.4 of the draft Standardization Recommendations for License Renewal Applications, be moved to another place in the application.
Yes, the final Standardization Recommendations for License Renewal Applications will provide the updated recommended location for the new table to be placed.
6 Can the term, license renewal commitments, be reclassified to another term? There is a specific definition for Commitments which does not apply to license renewal commitments.
The NRC will explore the possibility to redefine the term commitment in license renewal applications.
7 Can another document type be submitted to provide the information needed to develop the TRP Tool?
No, at this time, the TRP Tool can only process PDF versions of the application and changes to the application.
8 Can the recommendation to number different implementation schedules for different parts of an aging management The NRC will consider this comment in future revisions of the GALL-SLR Report.
B. Rogers program be applied to the GALL-SLR Report?
9 If the initial application submittal does not follow the standardization recommendations, and a change submittal does follow the recommendations, will that interfere with the TRP Tool?
No, each submittal is processed separately. The submittals will be processed automatically or manually depending on the level of standardization that is applied.
There were no comments received comment-gathering portion of the meeting for the public.
Based upon the questions and comments received during the public meeting, the NRC staff is targeting to issue the final Standardization Recommendations for License Renewal Applications in May 2025.
