SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is announcing its 
plans to conduct a public meeting to discuss its proposed Integrated 
Performance Assessment Process (IPAP) for commercial, operating, 
nuclear power plant licensees. The IPAP was developed to improve the 
NRC's integration of objective information related to the performance 
of reactor licensees. In addition, the IPAP will provide a check on the 
effectiveness of NRC's integration and planning processes and will 
provide feedback on the effectiveness of regulatory programs.
    This notice also announces the availability of background material 
in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR). The following background

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Integrated Performance Assessment 
Process (IPAP) is a four phase process for systematically evaluating 
nuclear power plant licensee's safety performance. The IPAP also 
develops inspection recommendations that customize the inspection 
program for the next inspection period based on licensee strengths and 
weaknesses, and provides feedback to improve the effectiveness and 
implementation of regulatory programs.
    The four IPAP phases include:
     Integrated Review of Licensee Performance
     Site Assessment Visit
     Final Analysis and Inspection Recommendation Development
     Assessment of Regulatory Programs
    The NRC staff intends to make a brief presentation on the contents 
of the IPAP at the meeting. However, the main focus of the meeting will 
be to address any questions regarding the process and solicit comments. 
The NRC staff will consider the comments received during this public 
meeting as well as written comments in finalizing its recommendations 
to the Commission on the Integrated Performance Assessment Process.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 2nd day of March 1995.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Performance Evaluation and Assessment Section, Inspection 
Program Branch, Directorate for Inspection and Support Programs, Office
