NPEC Chair requested SC Chairs to update NPEC Standard Status Report and submit to P. Yanosy. The NPEC Chair reminded the membership that we need to maintain our standards in the forefront by continuously looking for improvements to increase plant and public safety. Our nuclear standards need to provide guidance for both new reactor technology as well as existing plants through the development of new standards and revisions to our present standards Previews/Work-in-Progress Reports for N12-2 and N13-1 Status provided in Subcommittee Reports. NPEC Chair requested SC Chairs to identify future previews and work-in-progress reports in the NPEC Standard Status Report and submit to P. Yansoy. 14. Work-in-Progress Report (Reports Submitted) 14.1 IEEE Std. P317, Standard for Electric Penetration Assemblies in Containment Structures for Nuclear Power Generating Stations John McDonald IEEE Std. P1205, Guide for Assessing, Monitoring, and Mitigating Aging Effects of Class 1E Equipment Used in Nuclear Power Generating Stations Rebecca Steinman 14.3 IEEE Std.

Haasz The IEC/IEEE flow chart was reviewed during the meeting and discussions on the process followed. J. Haasz requested any additional comments on the flow chart be submitted to the NPEC Secretary and forwarded to her. During the presentation, it was noted that an additional step would be added to the beginning of the flow chart for an initial review to be performed by a WG task group to evaluate the potential and feasibility of having a joint standard IEEE SA Procedural Changes M. Zaman Presentation identified the following change to IEEE SA standard development process effective Jan 1, 2012 No new reaffirmation or stabilization ballots. The only actions available to Sponsors will be revision, amendment/corrigendum, or withdrawal. The status for a standard will be either active or inactive Standards will have a 10-year maintenance cycle. All standards must have a revision approved by the IEEE-SASB prior to the close of Year 10 in order to 8

9 remain active. Any standard not approved as a revision will become inactive after Year 10. The following are categories of inactive standards - Inactive-superseded: Standard replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata. - Inactive-reserved: Standard is removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years. - Inactive-withdrawn (valid for standards categorized after 1 January 2012): Standards is removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of the balloting group. The IEEE-SA Standards Board eliminated interpretations of standards. Going forward IEEE-SA will inform the requestor that no formal interpretations are provided. Therefore, if the SC for WG receives a request for interpretation then a disclaimer must be provided with the response. Interest categories for standards balloting is being changed from the present 50% requirement to an interest category which cannot be greater than 1/3 of balloters. This is being performed to comply with ANSI Essential Requirements. This requirement will take effect on March 1, Invited Experts in IEEE s balloting process is no longer needed. Anyone can qualify for membership or can pay the per-ballot fee. Match Rule: It is the job of the balloters to determine if the scope of the final standard is within the scope of the work authorized by the PAR. The scope of the draft can be less than the scope of the PAR. For published documents, at present, there are two options for front-matter disclaimer language based upon whether or not a patent letter of assurance (LOA) was on file at the time of publication. In the future, there will be only one public disclaimer in the document. 16. Recap of Action Items J. Parello See open action items table below. 17. Adjournment S. Aggarwal At approximately 6:20 PM (CST), motion to adjourn was made by John Disosway and accepted by the Chair. 9
