" EP-MA-1 14-1 00-F-03, Revision G, "State/LocalNotification Form"

• EP-MA-1 14-100-F-04, Revision F, "PAR Notification/UpdateForm" Description of Procedures These procedures describe the process for providing prompt and accurate notification and information of nuclear station emergencies to local, state, and federal agencies.

Description of Changes The revisions to the notification procedures and forms consist of two changes. The first change involves providing clarity in determining the appropriate meteorological tower instrument location for reporting meteorological data on the notification forms during radiological release conditions. The second change involves providing a location on the notification forms to record the time when the notification message was delivered as well as a minor change in content on one of the forms (EP-MA-1 14-100-F-03) to delete "Person Contacted" entries.

Description of How the Chanae Still Complies with Regulations Providing additional clarity on the guidance for meteorological tower data ensures that the appropriate data is provided to the local and state agencies as agreed upon to support assessment of release-in-progress events. The changes do not alter or change the required information, but improve the guidance associated with the selection of data.

Documenting the time associated with completion of the notification delivery does not alter or change the content of required and agreed upon information to be provided during an event notification.

Description of Why the Chanqe is Not an Reduction in Effectiveness (RIE)

These changes have no impact on the timeliness of notification nor do they alter or change the required information to be delivered.

These changes continue to meet the applicable planning standards established in 10 CFR 50.47(b) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix E.
