(2)

the resources identified in the plan are necessary and

sufficient to ensure completion of the activities contained in

(4)

the applicability of the requirements is correctly identified; and

(5)

the identified compensatory actions are acceptable.

5.5 Resolution of Issues. Review and approval issues related to a

6. REVISIONS TO IMPLEMENTATION PLANS

The implementation plans are living documents which will need to be revised

and updated during the life cycle of the site, facility, or activity.

Approved implementation plans shall be revised as needed to reflect

the addition or deletion of other work at a facility or other factors that affect the

ability to meet the approved schedule, such as prospective changes in the

level of funding or assumptions regarding the availability of materials and other

resources. Several DOE nuclear safety requirements documents contain

conditions under which implementation plans may be revised without prior

approval from DOE. In such cases the implementing organization shall submit

the revised implementation plan to DOE within 30 days of the effective date of

the plan (unless another schedule is specified in the DOE requirements

document). All other changes to implementation plans shall be reviewed and

approved by DOE prior to the effective date of the change (this does not apply

to editorial changes which do not materially change the plan or revisions

required to reflect organizational changes). Revised implementation plans

shall be submitted in a timely manner for DOE approval (generally at least 180

days before the change is to be effective), along with justification for the

revision. Proposed revisions will be considered to be approved 180 days after

submittal to DOE, unless they are approved or rejected by DOE on an earlier

date or other provisions are stated in the DOE requirements document.
