EB 17-09: Industrywide Coordinated Licensing of 10 CFR 50.69

Establish an industrywide coordinated effort for all sites to submit a license amendment request (LAR) in accordance with 10 CFR 50.69 to allow plants to perform risk-informed categorization and treatment of structures, systems and components as part of a risk-informed engineering program. This coordinated effort will streamline the LAR submittal and approval process by developing a standardized template with review and oversight from an industry coordinating committee to ensure alignment and consistency of the industry LAR submittals. This efficiency bulletin (EB) does not implement 10 CFR 50.69; this facilitates a subsequent EB that will cover implementation aspects.
