Page 1 EXCEL Services Corporation Coordinated Submittal Process Pilot TSTF-563, "Revise Instrument Testing Definitions to Incorporate the Surveillance Frequency Control Program," is applicable to the majority of plants:

No plant-specific information is required

~85% of plants have adopted or submitted TSTF

-425 The modified sentence, "The [test type] may be performed by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps," appears in the Channel Calibration definition in all versions of the improved STS and all versions of the original STS.

The modified sentence was added to the B&W and W definition of Channel Functional Test, COT, and TADOT by TSTF-205 (incorporated in Revision 2 of the ISTS). Existed in CE, BWR/4and BWR/6 ISTS. Adding modified sentence is a minor variation. The process is simple:

1. Licensees agree to submit LARs to adopt TSTF

-563 in a specified timeframe using the typical submittal process.

2. With that knowledge, the NRC organizes a consistent group of reviewers ("tiger team")

to reduce NRC resources and improve consistency.

3. NRC follows normal review and approval process for each submittal.

4. The TSTF and NRC maintain contact on the reviews, schedules, and address any potentially generic questions generically.
