Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 regulatory commitments are implemented and that changes to the regulatory commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to the NRC.
 
==1.0      INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND==
 
In Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 regulatory commitments are implemented and that changes to the regulatory commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to the NRC.
The NRC's 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 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.
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.
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, reliefs, exemptions, etc.) and activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.). The audit is to be performed every 3 years. 2.0 AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The NRC staff performed an audit of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) commitment management program at JAFNPP, which is located near Oswego, New York, on August 17 through August 20, 2009, and reviewed commitments made by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy or the licensee) in the past 3 years since the previous audit on May 31 and June 1, 2006.

The audit is to be performed every 3 years.
Entergy is the licensee for JAFNPP. The Entergy commitment management system is described in the Entergy corporate procedure EN-L1-11 0, "Commitment Management Program," Rev. 1, dated December 27, 2007. EN-L1-110 is based on and implements the recommendations of !\lEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," Rev. O. Enclosure
2.0     AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The NRC staff performed an audit of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) commitment management program at JAFNPP, which is located near Oswego, New York, on August 17 through August 20, 2009, and reviewed commitments made by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy or the licensee) in the past 3 years since the previous audit on May 31 and June 1, 2006. Entergy is the licensee for JAFNPP. The Entergy commitment management system is described in the Entergy corporate procedure EN-L1-11 0, "Commitment Management Program," Rev. 1, dated December 27, 2007. EN-L1-110 is based on and implements the recommendations of !\lEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," Rev. O.
-2The audit consisted of two major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of NRC commitments that have been completed and (2) verification of the licensee's program for managing changes to NRC commitments. Verification of Licensee's Implementation of NRC 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 in accordance with the NRC guidance and approved plant procedures. For commitments not yet implemented, the NRC staff determines whether they have been captured in an effective program for future implementation. Audit Scope Before the audit, the NRC staff searched Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) for a sampling of the licensee's licensing actions dated within the past 3 years, since the previous audit on May 31 and June 1, 2006, and selected a representative sample for verification. Table 1 lists the licensee's commitments which were audited. The list of the selected regulatory commitments for JAFNPP was provided to the site licensing group with a request to provide plant documentation used to track each individual commitment. Also, the site personnel were requested to provide status and a copy of the revised documents (plant procedures, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specifications (TSs), etc.) for verification, if the required actions had already been completed. The regulatory commitments were reviewed against the plant documents to verify if the commitment had been implemented satisfactorily in accordance with the approved plant procedures. 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, etc.) or licensing activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.).
Enclosure
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. The audit excluded the following types of commitments that are internal to licensee processes: Commitments made on the licensee's own initiative among internal organizational components. Commitments that pertain to milestones of licensing actions/activities (e.g., respond 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. Commitments made as an internal reminder to take actions to comply with existing regulatory requirements such as regulations, TSs, and UFSARs.
                                                    -2 The audit consisted of two major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of NRC commitments that have been completed and (2) verification of the licensee's program for managing changes to NRC commitments.
Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the licensee having taken timely action in accordance with the subject requirements.
2.1      Verification of Licensee's Implementation of NRC 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 in accordance with the NRC guidance and approved plant procedures. For commitments not yet implemented, the NRC staff determines whether they have been captured in an effective program for future implementation.
-3Audit Results The NRC staff reviewed the commitments listed in Table 1 to ensure that the selected commitments are included in the plant database used to track the commitments and evaluate the status of completion of each commitment. The NRC staff found that the licensee's commitment tracking program had captured the regulatory commitments that were identified by the NRC staff before the audit. The NRC staff also reviewed plant procedures and other design bases documents that had been revised as a result of commitments made by the licensee to NRC. These procedures and documents are identified in the right-hand column of Table 1. The NRC staff review indicated that: All the regulatory commitments selected for the audit were being tracked. Review of the plant documents for the completed commitments indicated that the commitments selected for the review were implemented as committed. Table 1 (Item Nos. 1 through 10 and 14 through 22), summarizes what the NRC staff observed as the current status of licensee commitments reviewed during the audit. 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 regulatory 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 JAFNPP is contained in the Entergy corporate procedure, EN-L1-11 0, "Commitment Management Program," Rev. 1 dated December 27, 2007. The audit reviewed a sample of commitment changes that included changes that were or will be reported to the NRC, and changes that were not or will not be reported to the NRC. The audit also verifies that the licensee's commitment management system includes a mechanism to ensure traceability of commitments following initial implementation.
2.1.1  Audit Scope Before the audit, the NRC staff searched Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) for a sampling of the licensee's licensing actions dated within the past 3 years, since the previous audit on May 31 and June 1, 2006, and selected a representative sample for verification. Table 1 lists the licensee's commitments which were audited.
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. The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's procedure EN-L1-11 0, "Commitment Management Program," Revision 1, against I\IEI 99-04 guidelines. In particular, in regards to managing a change or deviation from a previously completed commitment, Section 1.0 specifically states that the procedure is based on and implements the recommendations of NEI 99-04. Section 5.5 of EN-L1-110 defines the process for making changes to a commitment. In general, EN-L1-110 follows closely the guidance of NEI-99-04; it sets forth the need for identifying, tracking and reporting commitments, and it provides a mechanism for changing commitments. The NRC staff reviewed the reported revisions to the docketed commitments as permitted per NEI-99-04, from the licensee to the NRC during 2005,2006,2007, and 2008. These were included in the Entergy letter JAFP-07-0065 dated May 15, 2007, and JAFP-09-0060, dated
The list of the selected regulatory commitments for JAFNPP was provided to the site licensing group with a request to provide plant documentation used to track each individual commitment.
-4May 11, 2009. The NRC staff has no comments on these revisions, but may inspect them in more detail at a later time.
Also, the site personnel were requested to provide status and a copy of the revised documents (plant procedures, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specifications (TSs), etc.) for verification, if the required actions had already been completed. The regulatory commitments were reviewed against the plant documents to verify if the commitment had been implemented satisfactorily in accordance with the approved plant procedures.
2.2.1 Audit Results As set forth in Section 2.1.2 above, the NRC staff found that the licensee had properly addressed all the regulatory commitments selected for this audit. As a result of the review of the licensee's information, as well as information from other sources, the NRC staff found the licensee's reported status of the audited commitments to be acceptable. Thus, the NRC staff finds that the procedure used by the licensee to manage commitments is appropriate and effective. However, the NRC staff noted that the computer software systems used by the licensee to enter and track the regulatory commitments, called "ACT/LRS" systems, are very complicated, the development of the user's manual/instructions for the LRS system is not complete, and the process used by the licensee to manage commitments could be more effective and friendly. Therefore, the NRC staff would like to make the following recommendations for improvements: For the commitments requiring "Continuous Compliance" for periodic implementations such as training, in-coming testing, etc., the licensee keeps the commitment "Open" until the end of the license period (2034). However, there is no history of implementations in the commitment Tracking System (LRS), unless one searches other documents such as Training Records, Test Records, etc. The NRC staff recommends that in such cases, either a) the LRS should reflect the implementation history, or b) "close" the current commitment and "open" a new commitment for next implementation. The NRC staff noted that in some cases (Items 15 and 16), while entering the commitments in the System, the commitments, as made were combined. This made it difficult to track the commitments. The NRC staff recommends that in such cases, the notes should be added in the system to explain the manner in which the combination and/or alterations were done. In some cases (Item 3), the commitment should have been closed and the "incoming testing" tracked by some other documentation/process. The licensee also indicated that it does not enter the commitments until the licensee's request is proved by the NRC staff, such as issuance of an amendment, approval of the relief request, or exemptions, etc. If the request is withdrawn by the licensee or not approved by the NRC, the commitments made remain "Publicly Available" in the NRC's ADAMS. This would make the licensee vulnerable to the questions from the interveners. The NRC staff recommends that the licensee enter all the commitments in the systems as when they are made via submissions to the NRC and close them either because they have been implemented or have been withdrawn or the licensing request was not approved by the NRC. The above recommendations by the NRC staff have been discussed with the licensee during the audit. 
The audit addressed a sample of commitments made during the review period.

The NRC staff also reviewed plant procedures and other design bases documents that had been revised as a result of commitments made by the licensee to NRC. These procedures and documents are identified in the right-hand column of Table 1. The NRC staff review indicated that:
: 1.      All the regulatory commitments selected for the audit were being tracked.
: 2.      Review of the plant documents for the completed commitments indicated that the commitments selected for the review were implemented as committed.
Table 1 (Item Nos. 1 through 10 and 14 through 22), summarizes what the NRC staff observed as the current status of licensee commitments reviewed during the audit.

SUBJECT:

JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT - AUDIT OF ENTERGY'S MANAGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMMITMENTS (TAC NO. ME1717)

Dear Sir or Madam:

In Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 regulatory commitments are implemented and that changes to the regulatory commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to the NRC.

The NRC's 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 regulatory commitments are being effectively implemented.

The NRC's staff performed an audit of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) commitment management program at JAFNPP, which is located near Oswego, New York, on August 17 through August 20, 2009, and reviewed commitments made by JAFNPP in the past 3 years since the previous audit on May 31 and June 1,2006. The NRC staff concludes, based on the audit, that (1) JAFNPP has implemented NRC commitments for JAFNPP on a timely basis; and (2) JAFNPP has implemented an effective program for managing NRC commitment changes at JAFNPP. Details of the audit are set forth in the enclosed audit report.

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 AUDIT REPORT BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION LICENSEE MANAGEMENT OF REGULATORY COMMITMENTS JAMES A. FITZPATRICK NUCLEAR POWER PLANT DOCKET NO. 50-333

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

In Regulatory Issue Summary 2000-17, "Managing Regulatory Commitments Made by Power Reactor Licensees to the NRC Staff," dated September 21, 2000, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 regulatory commitments are implemented and that changes to the regulatory commitments are evaluated and, when appropriate, reported to the NRC.

The NRC's 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 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.

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, reliefs, exemptions, etc.) and activities (bulletins, generic letters, etc.). The audit is to be performed every 3 years.

2.0 AUDIT PROCEDURE AND RESULTS The NRC staff performed an audit of the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant (JAFNPP) commitment management program at JAFNPP, which is located near Oswego, New York, on August 17 through August 20, 2009, and reviewed commitments made by Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. (Entergy or the licensee) in the past 3 years since the previous audit on May 31 and June 1, 2006. Entergy is the licensee for JAFNPP. The Entergy commitment management system is described in the Entergy corporate procedure EN-L1-11 0, "Commitment Management Program," Rev. 1, dated December 27, 2007. EN-L1-110 is based on and implements the recommendations of !\lEI 99-04, "Guidelines for Managing NRC Commitment Changes," Rev. O.

Enclosure

-2 The audit consisted of two major parts: (1) verification of the licensee's implementation of NRC commitments that have been completed and (2) verification of the licensee's program for managing changes to NRC commitments.

2.1 Verification of Licensee's Implementation of NRC 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 in accordance with the NRC guidance and approved plant procedures. For commitments not yet implemented, the NRC staff determines whether they have been captured in an effective program for future implementation.

2.1.1 Audit Scope Before the audit, the NRC staff searched Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) for a sampling of the licensee's licensing actions dated within the past 3 years, since the previous audit on May 31 and June 1, 2006, and selected a representative sample for verification. Table 1 lists the licensee's commitments which were audited.

The list of the selected regulatory commitments for JAFNPP was provided to the site licensing group with a request to provide plant documentation used to track each individual commitment.

Also, the site personnel were requested to provide status and a copy of the revised documents (plant procedures, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR), Technical Specifications (TSs), etc.) for verification, if the required actions had already been completed. The regulatory commitments were reviewed against the plant documents to verify if the commitment had been implemented satisfactorily in accordance with the approved plant procedures.

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, etc.) or 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.

The audit excluded the following types of commitments that are internal to licensee processes:

(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., respond 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, TSs, and UFSARs. Fulfillment of these commitments was indicated by the licensee having taken timely action in accordance with the subject requirements.

-3 2.1.2 Audit Results The NRC staff reviewed the commitments listed in Table 1 to ensure that the selected commitments are included in the plant database used to track the commitments and evaluate the status of completion of each commitment. The NRC staff found that the licensee's commitment tracking program had captured the regulatory commitments that were identified by the NRC staff before the audit.

The NRC staff also reviewed plant procedures and other design bases documents that had been revised as a result of commitments made by the licensee to NRC. These procedures and documents are identified in the right-hand column of Table 1. The NRC staff review indicated that:

1. All the regulatory commitments selected for the audit were being tracked.
2. Review of the plant documents for the completed commitments indicated that the commitments selected for the review were implemented as committed.

Table 1 (Item Nos. 1 through 10 and 14 through 22), summarizes what the NRC staff observed as the current status of licensee commitments reviewed during the audit.

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 regulatory 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 JAFNPP is contained in the Entergy corporate procedure, EN-L1-11 0, "Commitment Management Program," Rev. 1 dated December 27, 2007. The audit reviewed a sample of commitment changes that included changes that were or will be reported to the NRC, and changes that were not or will not be reported to the NRC. 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.

The NRC staff reviewed the licensee's procedure EN-L1-11 0, "Commitment Management Program," Revision 1, against I\IEI 99-04 guidelines. In particular, in regards to managing a change or deviation from a previously completed commitment, Section 1.0 specifically states that the procedure is based on and implements the recommendations of NEI 99-04. Section 5.5 of EN-L1-110 defines the process for making changes to a commitment. In general, EN-L1-110 follows closely the guidance of NEI-99-04; it sets forth the need for identifying, tracking and reporting commitments, and it provides a mechanism for changing commitments.

The NRC staff reviewed the reported revisions to the docketed commitments as permitted per NEI-99-04, from the licensee to the NRC during 2005,2006,2007, and 2008. These were included in the Entergy letter JAFP-07-0065 dated May 15, 2007, and JAFP-09-0060, dated

-4 May 11, 2009. The NRC staff has no comments on these revisions, but may inspect them in more detail at a later time.

2.2.1 Audit Results As set forth in Section 2.1.2 above, the NRC staff found that the licensee had properly addressed all the regulatory commitments selected for this audit. As a result of the review of the licensee's information, as well as information from other sources, the NRC staff found the licensee's reported status of the audited commitments to be acceptable. Thus, the NRC staff finds that the procedure used by the licensee to manage commitments is appropriate and effective.

However, the NRC staff noted that the computer software systems used by the licensee to enter and track the regulatory commitments, called "ACT/LRS" systems, are very complicated, the development of the user's manual/instructions for the LRS system is not complete, and the process used by the licensee to manage commitments could be more effective and user friendly. Therefore, the NRC staff would like to make the following recommendations for improvements:

1. For the commitments requiring "Continuous Compliance" for periodic implementations such as training, in-coming testing, etc., the licensee keeps the commitment "Open" until the end of the license period (2034). However, there is no history of implementations in the commitment Tracking System (LRS), unless one searches other documents such as Training Records, Test Records, etc. The NRC staff recommends that in such cases, either a) the LRS should reflect the implementation history, or b) "close" the current commitment and "open" a new commitment for next implementation.
2. The NRC staff noted that in some cases (Items 15 and 16), while entering the commitments in the System, the commitments, as made were combined. This made it difficult to track the commitments. The NRC staff recommends that in such cases, the notes should be added in the system to explain the manner in which the combination and/or alterations were done.
3. In some cases (Item 3), the commitment should have been closed and the "incoming testing" tracked by some other documentation/process.
4. The licensee also indicated that it does not enter the commitments until the licensee's request is proved by the NRC staff, such as issuance of an amendment, approval of the relief request, or exemptions, etc. If the request is withdrawn by the licensee or not approved by the NRC, the commitments made remain "Publicly Available" in the NRC's ADAMS. This would make the licensee vulnerable to the questions from the interveners. The NRC staff recommends that the licensee enter all the commitments in the systems as when they are made via submissions to the NRC and close them either because they have been implemented or have been withdrawn or the licensing request was not approved by the NRC.

The above recommendations by the NRC staff have been discussed with the licensee during the audit.

-5 Table 1 (Item Nos. 11 through 13), summarizes what the NRC staff observed as the current status of licensee commitments reviewed during the audit.

3.0 CONCLUSION

The NRC staff concludes, based on the above audit, that (1) the licensee has implemented or is tracking for future implementation, NRC commitments on a timely basis, and (2) the licensee has implemented an effective program for managing NRC commitment changes.
