In U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)
Accession No. ML003741774), the NRC informed licensees that the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," contains acceptable guidance for controlling regulatory commitments and encouraged licensees to use the NEI guidance or similar administrative controls to ensure that commitments are implemented and that changes to the commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to NRC.
The NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) has instructed its staff to perform an audit of licensees' commitment management programs once every 3 years to determine whether the licensees' programs are consistent with the industry guidance in NEI 99-04, and that the regulatory commitments are being effectively implemented. NEI 99-04 defines a "regulatory commitment" as an explicit statement to take a specific action agreed to, or volunteered by, a licensee and submitted in writing on the docket to the NRC.
An audit of Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, commitment management program was performed at the plant site on September 9-11, 2014. The audit reviewed commitments made since the previous audit on September 12-14, 2011 (audit report issued on December 19, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML112990018).
NRR guidelines direct the NRR Project Manager to audit the licensee's commitment management program by assessing the adequacy of the licensee's implementation of a sample of commitments made to the NRC in past licensing actions (amendments, relief requests.,
exemptions, etc.) and licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.).

AND BACKGROUND In U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML003741774), the NRC informed licensees that the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," contains acceptable guidance for controlling regulatory commitments and encouraged licensees to use the NEI guidance or similar administrative controls to ensure that commitments are implemented and that changes to the commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to NRC. The NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) has instructed its staff to perform an audit of licensees' commitment management programs once every 3 years to determine whether the licensees' programs are consistent with the industry guidance in NEI 99-04, and that the regulatory commitments are being effectively implemented.
2.0       AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The audit consisted of three major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of NRC commitments that have been completed, (2) verification of the licensee's program for managing changes to NRC commitments, and (3) verification that all regulatory commitments reviewed were correctly applied in NRC staff licensing action reviews.
NEI 99-04 defines a "regulatory commitment" as an explicit statement to take a specific action agreed to, or volunteered by, a licensee and submitted in writing on the docket to the NRC. An audit of Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, commitment management program was performed at the plant site on September 9-11, 2014. The audit reviewed commitments made since the previous audit on September 12-14, 2011 (audit report issued on December 19, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML 112990018).
2.1       Verification of Licensee's Implementation of Commitments The primary focus of this part of the audit is to confirm that the licensee has implemented commitments made to the NRC as part of past licensing actions/activities. For commitments not yet implemented, the NRC staff determines whether they have been captured in an effective program for future implementation. The audit also verifies that the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation. This ensures that licensee personnel are able to recognize that future proposed changes to the affected design features or operating practices require evaluation in accordance with the commitment change control process.

Enclosure  2.0 AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The audit consisted of three major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of NRC commitments that have been completed, (2) verification of the licensee's program for managing changes to NRC commitments, and (3) verification that all regulatory commitments reviewed were correctly applied in NRC staff licensing action reviews. 2.1 Verification of Licensee's Implementation of Commitments The primary focus of this part of the audit is to confirm that the licensee has implemented commitments made to the NRC as part of past licensing actions/activities.
2.1.1     Audit Scope The audit addressed a sample of commitments made during the review period. The audit focused on regulatory commitments, as defined above, made in writing to the NRC as a result of past licensing actions (amendments, exemptions, relief requests, etc.) and licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.). Commitments made in Licensee Event Reports or in response to Notices of Violation may be included in the sample, but the review will be limited to verification of restoration of compliance, not the specific methods used. Before the audit, the NRC staff searched ADAMS for the licensee's submittals since the last audit and selected a representative sample of regulatory commitments for verification.

Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the licensee having taken timely action in accordance with the subject requirements.
responding to an NRC request for additional information by a certain date).
(4) Commitments related to the PINGP license renewal. Northern States Power Company-Minnesota (NSPM, the licensee), doing business as Xcel Energy, Inc., has implemented procedure FP-R-LIC-24, Rev.2, "NRC Commitment Management," dated March 31, 2014, for handling regulatory commitments.
Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the fact that the subject licensing action/activity was completed.
This procedure establishes a defined methodology for the assignment, tracking, revision, and closing of commitment tasks. An electronic commitment management database called "PassPort" is used to track regulatory commitments, as well as corrective action items. Since the last audit, the licensee conducted an extensive review of its NRC Commitment database with a focus of creating a new Action Request ("AIR") type in the database that would increase the quality of the record and have attributes that would allow migration of records from legacy commitment tracking databases to PassPort and provide a standardized platform.
(3)     Commitments made as an internal reminder to take actions to comply with existing regulatory requirements such as regulations, Technical Specifications, and Updated Final Safety Analysis Reports. Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the licensee having taken timely action in accordance with the subject requirements.
The documents furnished by the licensee during the audit included summary sheets from the PassPort system, which provided the status of the commitments, and the appropriate backup documentation, as needed (e.g., plant procedures, examination records, and/or other plant documentation incorporating the commitments).
(4)     Commitments related to the PINGP license renewal.
The NRC staff reviewed the documents and summarized the results of the review in the table attached to this audit report. The NRC staff's audit was intended to confirm that the licensee has documented its implementation of its regulatory commitments made to the NRC staff as part of past licensing communications, and the commitments that had not yet been implemented or incorporated in design bases documents are captured in an effective manner for future implementation.
 
2.1.2 Audit Results The PassPort database and the licensee's FP-R-LIC-24 procedure provide acceptable tools for the licensee to capture the NRC guidance on commitment management programs.
Northern States Power Company- Minnesota (NSPM, the licensee), doing business as Xcel Energy, Inc., has implemented procedure FP-R-LIC-24, Rev.2, "NRC Commitment Management," dated March 31, 2014, for handling regulatory commitments.

Since the last audit, the licensee conducted an extensive review of its NRC Commitment database with a focus of creating a new Action Request ("AIR") type in the database that would increase the quality of the record and have attributes that would allow migration of records from legacy commitment tracking databases to PassPort and provide a standardized platform.
The regulatory commitments are labeled as regulatory commitments.
The documents furnished by the licensee during the audit included summary sheets from the PassPort system, which provided the status of the commitments, and the appropriate backup documentation, as needed (e.g., plant procedures, examination records, and/or other plant documentation incorporating the commitments). The NRC staff reviewed the documents and summarized the results of the review in the table attached to this audit report.
Each commitment is numbered and described by a commitment title and a brief description.

Each commitment is numbered and described by a commitment title and a brief description. Status of the commitments, implementation dates, target implementation (documents which finally capture the commitment) document information associated with each specific commitment, and comments are captured in the database. The licensee's staff is trained in updating the commitment management program. However, a potential vulnerability of the Commitment Management program is the limited number of experts with the Regulatory Affairs team with experience to navigate the nuances of the program The licensee has maintained the PassPort database very well and all the commitments selected for this audit were traceable in the database. For commitments already incorporated, the database provided an accurate status of the commitment providing reference to the implementation document. The NRC staff's audit of the licensee's commitment management program for PINGP, Units 1 and 2, did not identify any regulatory commitments that were not satisfied or incorporated. The staff identified the following two issues that the licensee had documented in its corrective action program:

The NRC staff's audit of the licensee's commitment management program for PINGP, Units 1 and 2, did not identify any regulatory commitments that were not satisfied or incorporated.
A corrective action was written to update 5AWI to remove any notation of NRC commitments and ensure that NRC commitments are strictly controlled by FP-R-LIC-24. However, 5AWI was deleted and FP-R-LIC-24 still has it as a reference. The primary concern is verifying that the licensee has no other commitment management documents that could conflict with FP-R-LIC-

Section 1.7.0 was not updated to reflect that the new NRC commitment procedure (FP-R-LIC-24) had been implemented.
However, FP-R-LIC-24 is unclear when commitment changes are initiated at the request of the NRC.
The references to NRC commitments should have been deleted or superseded.
While the change does occur in the database, the specific documentation and review requirements are unclear. During the audit, the licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program for resolution (AIR No. 01444011)
A corrective action was written to update 5AWI to remove any notation of NRC commitments and ensure that NRC commitments are strictly controlled by FP-R-LIC-24.
Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented the regulatory commitment management program effectively in accordance with LIC-1 05, Revision 5, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Licensees to the NRC,"

changing commitments. The process used at PINGP, Units 1 and 2, is contained in procedure FP-R-LIC-24, Rev. 2, dated March 31, 2014.
During the audit, the licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program for resolution (AIR No. 01444011)
The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's procedure against the guidance provided in NEI 99-01.
Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented the regulatory commitment management program effectively in accordance with LIC-1 05, Revision 5, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Licensees to the NRC," (ADAMS Accession No. ML 13193A358) and is consistent with NEI 99-04. The issues identified by the NRC staff are minor in nature and do not have any safety significance.
The change process is based on the NEI 99-0,1 guidance. Regulatory commitment changes are processed and tracked by the Regulatory Affairs Department (Site Licensing) and are approved by the Site Management. Regulatory Commitment Change Request Form QF-0729 is used to document the evaluation of commitment changes.
The Attachment to this audit report contains details of the audit and a summary of the audit results. 2.2 Verification of the Licensee's Program for Managing NRC Commitment Changes The primary focus of this part of the audit is to verify that the licensee has established administrative controls for modifying or deleting commitments made to the NRC. The NRC staff compared the licensee's process for controlling commitments to the guidelines in NEI 99-04, which the NRC has found to be an acceptable guide for licensees to follow for managing and   changing commitments.
The primary focus of the audit was to ensure that commitments are implemented without a change or, if a change is made, it is made in accordance with approved plant procedures and with the approval of licensee management. Another purpose of the audit was to verify whether the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation. This ensures that licensee personnel are able to recognize that future proposed changes to design features or operating procedures, which may be subject to regulatory commitments, require evaluation in accordance with the commitment change control process.
The process used at PINGP, Units 1 and 2, is contained in procedure FP-R-LIC-24, Rev. 2, dated March 31, 2014. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's procedure against the guidance provided in NEI 99-01. The change process is based on the NEI 99-0,1 guidance.
2.2.1   Audit Results Detailed processes are outlined by which the licensee carries out actions under its regulatory commitments. Any changes to the commitments are processed through the FP-R-LIC-24 process. Changes to regulatory commitments are reported to the NRC in accordance with the recommendations of LIC-105 and NEI 99-04 guidelines. FP-R-LIC-24 identifies the affected commitments, their origin, original criteria, proposed changes, and justification for change. The commitment changes are documented in FP-R-LIC-24 forms for submittal to the NRC staff.
Regulatory commitment changes are processed and tracked by the Regulatory Affairs Department (Site Licensing) and are approved by the Site Management.
The licensee performed a PassPort database search and provided a list of commitment changes made since the last audit. The NRC staff reviewed a sample of these changes.
Regulatory Commitment Change Request Form QF-0729 is used to document the evaluation of commitment changes. The primary focus of the audit was to ensure that commitments are implemented without a change or, if a change is made, it is made in accordance with approved plant procedures and with the approval of licensee management.
Licensee personnel were able to effectively track commitments through the PassPort system through implementing documents. The attached Audit Summary table provides details of this portion of the audit and its results.
Another purpose of the audit was to verify whether the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation.
Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented regulatory commitment changes appropriately, in accordance with LIC-105 and consistent with NEI 99-04. In addition, the NRC staff noted that the method of linking specific changes in procedures to specific regulatory commitments was adequate, and resulted in traceability in the most recently revised procedures.
This ensures that licensee personnel are able to recognize that future proposed changes to design features or operating procedures, which may be subject to regulatory commitments, require evaluation in accordance with the commitment change control process. 2.2.1 Audit Results Detailed processes are outlined by which the licensee carries out actions under its regulatory commitments.
2.3     Verification that Reviewed Regulatory Commitments were Correctly Applied in NRC Staff Licensing Action Reviews The commitments reviewed for this audit were also evaluated to determine if they had been misapplied. A commitment is considered to be misapplied if the action comprising the commitment was relied on by the NRC staff in making a regulatory decision such as a finding of public health and safety in an NRC safety evaluation associated with a licensing action.
Any changes to the commitments are processed through the FP-R-LIC-24 process. Changes to regulatory commitments are reported to the NRC in accordance with the recommendations of LIC-105 and NEI 99-04 guidelines.
Reliance on an action to support a regulatory decision must be elevated from a regulatory commitment to a legal obligation (e.g., license condition, condition of a relief request, regulatory
FP-R-LIC-24 identifies the affected commitments, their origin, original criteria, proposed changes, and justification for change. The commitment changes are documented in FP-R-LIC-24 forms for submittal to the NRC staff. The licensee performed a PassPort database search and provided a list of commitment changes made since the last audit. The NRC staff reviewed a sample of these changes. Licensee personnel were able to effectively track commitments through the PassPort system through implementing documents.
 
The attached Audit Summary table provides details of this portion of the audit and its results. Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented regulatory commitment changes appropriately, in accordance with LIC-105 and consistent with NEI 99-04. In addition, the NRC staff noted that the method of linking specific changes in procedures to specific regulatory commitments was adequate, and resulted in traceability in the most recently revised procedures.
exemption limitation or condition). A commitment is also considered to have been misapplied if the commitment involves actions that were safety significant (i.e., commitments used to ensure safety).
2.3 Verification that Reviewed Regulatory Commitments were Correctly Applied in NRC Staff Licensing Action Reviews The commitments reviewed for this audit were also evaluated to determine if they had been misapplied.
Each of the commitments selected for the audit sample were reviewed to determine if any had been misapplied. Based on the NRC staff review of the safety evaluations and staff assessments issued for the audit period, it was determined that the commitments reviewed by the NRC staff were explicit statements made by the licensee to take specific action in support of the specific licensing action and were correctly applied while reviewing the licensing actions.
A commitment is considered to be misapplied if the action comprising the commitment was relied on by the NRC staff in making a regulatory decision such as a finding of public health and safety in an NRC safety evaluation associated with a licensing action. Reliance on an action to support a regulatory decision must be elevated from a regulatory commitment to a legal obligation (e.g., license condition, condition of a relief request, regulatory   exemption limitation or condition).
2.4     Verification of Corrective Actions from Last Commitment Audit Report The previous audit on September 12-14,2011, (audit report issued on December 19,2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML112990018) noted two deficiencies in the licensee's commitment management program documents.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 September 25, 2014 Mr. Kevin K. Davison Site Vice President Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant Northern States Power Company - Minnesota 1717 Wakonade Drive East Welch, MN 55089

SUBJECT:

PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT, UNITS 1 AND 2 -AUDIT OF THE LICENSEE'S REGULATORY COMMITMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (TAC NOS. MF4414 AND MF4415)

Dear Mr. Davison:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) informed licensees in Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000, that the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," contains acceptable guidance for controlling regulatory commitments. RIS 2000-17 encouraged licensees to use the NEI guidance or similar administrative controls to ensure that regulatory commitments are implemented and that changes to the regulatory commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to the NRC.

The NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation has instructed its staff to perform an audit of licensees' commitment management programs once every 3 years to determine whether the licensees' programs are consistent with the industry guidance in NEI 99-04, and that the regulatory commitments are being effectively implemented.

An audit of Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, commitment management program was performed at the plant site on September 9-11, 2014. The NRC staff concludes, based on the audit, that Northern States Power Company- Minnesota (NSPM, the licensee). doing business as Xcel Energy, Inc., has implemented NRC commitments on a timely basis, and the licensee has implemented an effective program for managing NRC commitment changes at PINGP, Units 1 and 2. The details of the audit including the NRC staff's observations and recommendations are set forth in the enclosed audit report.

K. Davison The NRC staff appreciates the resources that were made available by your staff for performing the audit. If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 415-2855 or via e-mail at Scott.Wall@nrc.gov.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 AUDIT REPORT BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION LICENSEE MANAGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMMITMENTS NORTHERN STATES POWER COMPANY- MINNESOTA PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT. UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-282 AND 50-306

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

In U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS)

Accession No. ML003741774), the NRC informed licensees that the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document NEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," contains acceptable guidance for controlling regulatory commitments and encouraged licensees to use the NEI guidance or similar administrative controls to ensure that commitments are implemented and that changes to the commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to NRC.

The NRC Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) has instructed its staff to perform an audit of licensees' commitment management programs once every 3 years to determine whether the licensees' programs are consistent with the industry guidance in NEI 99-04, and that the regulatory commitments are being effectively implemented. NEI 99-04 defines a "regulatory commitment" as an explicit statement to take a specific action agreed to, or volunteered by, a licensee and submitted in writing on the docket to the NRC.

An audit of Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP), Units 1 and 2, commitment management program was performed at the plant site on September 9-11, 2014. The audit reviewed commitments made since the previous audit on September 12-14, 2011 (audit report issued on December 19, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML112990018).

NRR guidelines direct the NRR Project Manager to audit the licensee's commitment management program by assessing the adequacy of the licensee's implementation of a sample of commitments made to the NRC in past licensing actions (amendments, relief requests.,

exemptions, etc.) and licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.).

Enclosure

2.0 AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The audit consisted of three major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of NRC commitments that have been completed, (2) verification of the licensee's program for managing changes to NRC commitments, and (3) verification that all regulatory commitments reviewed were correctly applied in NRC staff licensing action reviews.

2.1 Verification of Licensee's Implementation of Commitments The primary focus of this part of the audit is to confirm that the licensee has implemented commitments made to the NRC as part of past licensing actions/activities. For commitments not yet implemented, the NRC staff determines whether they have been captured in an effective program for future implementation. The audit also verifies that the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation. This ensures that licensee personnel are able to recognize that future proposed changes to the affected design features or operating practices require evaluation in accordance with the commitment change control process.

2.1.1 Audit Scope The audit addressed a sample of commitments made during the review period. The audit focused on regulatory commitments, as defined above, made in writing to the NRC as a result of past licensing actions (amendments, exemptions, relief requests, etc.) and licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.). Commitments made in Licensee Event Reports or in response to Notices of Violation may be included in the sample, but the review will be limited to verification of restoration of compliance, not the specific methods used. Before the audit, the NRC staff searched ADAMS for the licensee's submittals since the last audit and selected a representative sample of regulatory commitments for verification.

The audit excluded the following types of commitments:

(1) Commitments made on the licensee's own initiative among internal organizational components.

(2) Commitments that pertain to milestones of licensing actions/activities (e.g.,

responding to an NRC request for additional information by a certain date).

Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the fact that the subject licensing action/activity was completed.

(3) Commitments made as an internal reminder to take actions to comply with existing regulatory requirements such as regulations, Technical Specifications, and Updated Final Safety Analysis Reports. Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the licensee having taken timely action in accordance with the subject requirements.

(4) Commitments related to the PINGP license renewal.

Northern States Power Company- Minnesota (NSPM, the licensee), doing business as Xcel Energy, Inc., has implemented procedure FP-R-LIC-24, Rev.2, "NRC Commitment Management," dated March 31, 2014, for handling regulatory commitments. This procedure establishes a defined methodology for the assignment, tracking, revision, and closing of commitment tasks. An electronic commitment management database called "PassPort" is used to track regulatory commitments, as well as corrective action items.

Since the last audit, the licensee conducted an extensive review of its NRC Commitment database with a focus of creating a new Action Request ("AIR") type in the database that would increase the quality of the record and have attributes that would allow migration of records from legacy commitment tracking databases to PassPort and provide a standardized platform.

The documents furnished by the licensee during the audit included summary sheets from the PassPort system, which provided the status of the commitments, and the appropriate backup documentation, as needed (e.g., plant procedures, examination records, and/or other plant documentation incorporating the commitments). The NRC staff reviewed the documents and summarized the results of the review in the table attached to this audit report.

The NRC staff's audit was intended to confirm that the licensee has documented its implementation of its regulatory commitments made to the NRC staff as part of past licensing communications, and the commitments that had not yet been implemented or incorporated in design bases documents are captured in an effective manner for future implementation.

2.1.2 Audit Results The PassPort database and the licensee's FP-R-LIC-24 procedure provide acceptable tools for the licensee to capture the NRC guidance on commitment management programs. The licensee enters the regulatory commitments made to the NRC into a database. The regulatory commitments are labeled as regulatory commitments. Each commitment is numbered and described by a commitment title and a brief description. Status of the commitments, implementation dates, target implementation (documents which finally capture the commitment) document information associated with each specific commitment, and comments are captured in the database. The licensee's staff is trained in updating the commitment management program. However, a potential vulnerability of the Commitment Management program is the limited number of experts with the Regulatory Affairs team with experience to navigate the nuances of the program The licensee has maintained the PassPort database very well and all the commitments selected for this audit were traceable in the database. For commitments already incorporated, the database provided an accurate status of the commitment providing reference to the implementation document. The NRC staff's audit of the licensee's commitment management program for PINGP, Units 1 and 2, did not identify any regulatory commitments that were not satisfied or incorporated. The staff identified the following two issues that the licensee had documented in its corrective action program:

  • Fleet Procedure FP-R-LIC-24 The previous audit on September 12-14, 2011, (audit report issued on December 19, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML112990018)) noted the following:

Licensee procedure 5AWI (concerning non-NRC commitments) Section 1.7.0 was not updated to reflect that the new NRC commitment procedure (FP-R-LIC-24) had been implemented. The references to NRC commitments should have been deleted or superseded.

A corrective action was written to update 5AWI to remove any notation of NRC commitments and ensure that NRC commitments are strictly controlled by FP-R-LIC-24. However, 5AWI was deleted and FP-R-LIC-24 still has it as a reference. The primary concern is verifying that the licensee has no other commitment management documents that could conflict with FP-R-LIC-

24. During the audit, the licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program for resolution (AIR No. 01445994)
  • Fleet Procedure FP-R-LIC-24 During discussions between the NRC staff and the licensee regarding Commitment Nos.

01361825 and 01361842, the NRC staff requested that the licensee change its commitment. Specifically, the NRC requested that the licensee expedite completion of the seismic walkdowns for Units 1 and 2.

NRC commitment procedure (FP-R-LIC-24) provides guidance from the assumption that commitment changes are initiated by the licensee.

However, FP-R-LIC-24 is unclear when commitment changes are initiated at the request of the NRC.

While the change does occur in the database, the specific documentation and review requirements are unclear. During the audit, the licensee entered this issue into their corrective action program for resolution (AIR No. 01444011)

Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented the regulatory commitment management program effectively in accordance with LIC-1 05, Revision 5, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Licensees to the NRC,"

(ADAMS Accession No. ML13193A358) and is consistent with NEI 99-04. The issues identified by the NRC staff are minor in nature and do not have any safety significance.

The Attachment to this audit report contains details of the audit and a summary of the audit results.

2.2 Verification of the Licensee's Program for Managing NRC Commitment Changes The primary focus of this part of the audit is to verify that the licensee has established administrative controls for modifying or deleting commitments made to the NRC. The NRC staff compared the licensee's process for controlling commitments to the guidelines in NEI 99-04, which the NRC has found to be an acceptable guide for licensees to follow for managing and

changing commitments. The process used at PINGP, Units 1 and 2, is contained in procedure FP-R-LIC-24, Rev. 2, dated March 31, 2014.

The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's procedure against the guidance provided in NEI 99-01.

The change process is based on the NEI 99-0,1 guidance. Regulatory commitment changes are processed and tracked by the Regulatory Affairs Department (Site Licensing) and are approved by the Site Management. Regulatory Commitment Change Request Form QF-0729 is used to document the evaluation of commitment changes.

The primary focus of the audit was to ensure that commitments are implemented without a change or, if a change is made, it is made in accordance with approved plant procedures and with the approval of licensee management. Another purpose of the audit was to verify whether the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation. This ensures that licensee personnel are able to recognize that future proposed changes to design features or operating procedures, which may be subject to regulatory commitments, require evaluation in accordance with the commitment change control process.

2.2.1 Audit Results Detailed processes are outlined by which the licensee carries out actions under its regulatory commitments. Any changes to the commitments are processed through the FP-R-LIC-24 process. Changes to regulatory commitments are reported to the NRC in accordance with the recommendations of LIC-105 and NEI 99-04 guidelines. FP-R-LIC-24 identifies the affected commitments, their origin, original criteria, proposed changes, and justification for change. The commitment changes are documented in FP-R-LIC-24 forms for submittal to the NRC staff.

The licensee performed a PassPort database search and provided a list of commitment changes made since the last audit. The NRC staff reviewed a sample of these changes.

Licensee personnel were able to effectively track commitments through the PassPort system through implementing documents. The attached Audit Summary table provides details of this portion of the audit and its results.

Based on the results of the on-site audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented regulatory commitment changes appropriately, in accordance with LIC-105 and consistent with NEI 99-04. In addition, the NRC staff noted that the method of linking specific changes in procedures to specific regulatory commitments was adequate, and resulted in traceability in the most recently revised procedures.

2.3 Verification that Reviewed Regulatory Commitments were Correctly Applied in NRC Staff Licensing Action Reviews The commitments reviewed for this audit were also evaluated to determine if they had been misapplied. A commitment is considered to be misapplied if the action comprising the commitment was relied on by the NRC staff in making a regulatory decision such as a finding of public health and safety in an NRC safety evaluation associated with a licensing action.

Reliance on an action to support a regulatory decision must be elevated from a regulatory commitment to a legal obligation (e.g., license condition, condition of a relief request, regulatory

exemption limitation or condition). A commitment is also considered to have been misapplied if the commitment involves actions that were safety significant (i.e., commitments used to ensure safety).

Each of the commitments selected for the audit sample were reviewed to determine if any had been misapplied. Based on the NRC staff review of the safety evaluations and staff assessments issued for the audit period, it was determined that the commitments reviewed by the NRC staff were explicit statements made by the licensee to take specific action in support of the specific licensing action and were correctly applied while reviewing the licensing actions.

2.4 Verification of Corrective Actions from Last Commitment Audit Report The previous audit on September 12-14,2011, (audit report issued on December 19,2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML112990018) noted two deficiencies in the licensee's commitment management program documents.

1. The flow chart in licensee procedure FP-R-LIC-24, Rev 0, dated February 24, 2011, Figure 1 (comparable to NEI 99-01, Figure A-1 ), refers to Figure 2 within the flow chart. However, Figure 2 is not included in the procedure document.

Figure 2 is presumably comparable to Figure A-2 of NEI 99-01.

  • Closed. FP-R-LIC-24 has been updated to remove the incorrect reference to a Figure that is not contained in the licensee's commitment management procedures. When evaluating changes to regulatory commitments, FP-R-LIC-24 requires the licensee to use Form QF-0729. QF-0729 contains all the procedural elements outlines in both Figure A-1 and A-2 of NEI 99-01.
2. Licensee procedure 5AWI (concerning non-NRC commitments) Section 1.7.0 was not updated to reflect that the new NRC commitment procedure (FP-R-LIC-
24) had been implemented. The references to NRC commitments should have been deleted or superseded.
  • Open. Further details can be found in Section 2.1.2 above and AIR No. 01445994).

3.0 CONCLUSION

Based on the results of the audit, the NRC staff concludes that the licensee has implemented the commitment management program effectively, and has implemented commitment changes appropriately consistent with NEI 99-04. The deficiencies identified during the audit, which are summarized in Section 2.0 of this report, did not have any safety significance. The NRC staff notes that the licensee has taken appropriate actions to correct the deficiencies identified during the audit.
