The DAEC Technical Specifications Bases Control Program requires that changes to the Technical Specifications Bases (TSB) implemented without prior NRC approval be provided to the NRC on a frequency consistent with 10 CFR 50.71(e).

NextEra Energy Duane Arnold conducted a review of the DAEC plant changes for 10 CFR 54.37(b) applicability.
