SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Licensee Notification of Completion of ITAAC

    South Carolina Electric & Gas (SCE&G), on behalf of itself and the 
South Carolina Public Service Authority, (both hereafter called the 
licensee) has submitted ITAAC closure notifications (ICNs) under Sec.  
52.99(c)(1) of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 
informing the NRC that the licensee has successfully performed the 
required inspections, tests, and analyses, and that the acceptance 
criteria are met for:

VCSNS Unit 2 ITAAC

2.1.02.08a.i (28), 2.1.02.08a.ii (29), 2.2.03.08c.vi.01 (189), 
2.2.03.08c.vi.02 (190), 2.5.02.13 (552), 3.1.00.01 (733), 
C.3.8.01.04.01 (848), C.3.8.01.05.01.01 (849), C.3.8.01.05.02.01 (857), 
and C.3.8.01.05.02.02 (858)

VCSNS Unit 3 ITAAC

2.1.02.08a.i (28), 2.1.02.08a.ii (29), 2.1.03.11 (86), 2.2.03.08c.vi.01 
(189), 2.2.03.08c.vi.02 (190), 2.5.02.13 (552), 3.1.00.01 (733), 
C.3.8.01.04.01 (848), C.3.8.01.05.01.01 (849), C.3.8.01.05.02.01 (857), 
and C.3.8.01.05.02.02 (858)

    The ITAAC for VCSNS Unit 2 are in Appendix C of the VCSNS Unit 2 
combined license (ADAMS Accession No. ML14100A092). The ITAAC for VCSNS 
Unit 3 are in Appendix C of VCSNS Unit 3 combined license (ADAMS 
Accession No. ML14100A101).

II. NRC Staff Determination of Completion of ITAAC

    The NRC staff has determined that the specified inspections, tests, 
and analyses have been successfully completed, and that the specified 
acceptance criteria are met. The documentation of the NRC staff's 
determination is in the ITAAC Closure Verification Evaluation Form 
(VEF) for each ITAAC. The VEF is a form that represents the NRC staff's 
structured process for reviewing ICNs. Each ICN presents a narrative 
description of how the ITAAC was completed. The NRC's ICN review 
process involves a determination on whether, among other things: (1) 
Each ICN provides sufficient information, including a summary of the 
methodology used to perform the ITAAC, to demonstrate that the 
inspections, tests, and analyses have been successfully completed; (2) 
each ICN provides sufficient information to demonstrate that the 
acceptance criteria of the ITAAC are met; and (3) any NRC inspections 
for the ITAAC have been completed and any ITAAC findings associated 
with that ITAAC have been closed.
    The NRC staff's determination of the successful completion of these 
ITAAC is based on information available at this time and is subject to 
the licensee's ability to maintain the condition that the acceptance 
criteria are met. If the staff receives new information that suggests 
the staff's determination on any of these ITAAC is incorrect, then the 
staff will determine whether to reopen

[[Page 47841]]

that ITAAC (including withdrawing the staff's determination on that 
ITAAC). The NRC staff's determination will be used to support a 
subsequent finding, pursuant to 10 CFR 52.103(g), at the end of 
construction that all acceptance criteria in the combined license are 
met. The ITAAC closure process is not finalized for these ITAAC until 
the NRC makes an affirmative finding under 10 CFR 52.103(g). Any future 
updates to the status of these ITAAC will be reflected on the NRC's Web 
site at http://www.nrc.gov/reactors/new-reactors/oversight/itaac.html.
    This notice fulfills the staff's obligations under 10 CFR 
52.99(e)(1) to publish a notice in the Federal Register of the NRC 
staff's determination of the successful completion of inspections, 
tests and analyses.
