Alert

Due to a lapse in appropriations, the NRC has ceased normal operations. However, excepted and exempted activities necessary to maintain critical health and safety functions—as well as essential progress on designated critical activities, including those specified in Executive Order 14300—will continue, consistent with the OMB-Approved NRC Lapse Plan.

	DELETED:		TRANSMITTED:
1.	9900 Tech Guidance OPERATIONS-NOED	12/12/00	9900 Tech Guidance OPERATIONS-NOED	11/2/01

TRAINING:	Training on this revision to the NOED will be WEB-based individual self-study type. It will be prepared by DLPM and the regions will be notified when it is ready for use, which is expected to be in early December 2001.
REMARKS:	9900 TECHNICAL GUIDE (Operations - Notices of Enforcement Discretion) has been revised. The staff criteria for granting of any "regular" NOED (as differentiated from a "weather-related" NOED) continues to be that the NOED condition is safety neutral. In the previous revision to the staff NOED guidance dated December 12, 2000, and as transmitted by RIS 2001-10, dated April 2, 2001, we clarified the difference between "regular" and "severe weather" NOEDs. In doing so, we prefaced the Section A.2.1 discussion on "regular" NOEDs with the statement: "Granting of this type of a NOED shall not involve an increase in radiological risk." This was not intended to be a change from our previous requirement that such NOEDs must be at least safety/risk neutral. However, because it was a new statement and was not explained adequately, it was subject to misinterpretation and caused some confusion. This revision clarifies the staff intent. There are a number of other changes that are administrative and editorial.
DISTRIBUTION:	Standard
