5/18/2009 870 Effect of Policy The general policy stated in this document does not constitute a new regulation or create what the courts refer to as a "binding norm". The office that implements policy should follow this policy when applicable to the specific project. Whenever an applicant's proposed method of compliance is outside this established policy, it must be coordinated with the policy issuing office, e.g., through the issue paper process or equivalent.
Similarly, if the implementing office becomes aware of reasons that an applicant’s proposal that meets this policy should not be approved, the office must coordinate its response with the policy issuing office.
Applicants should expect that the certificating officials will consider this information when making findings of compliance relevant to new certificate actions. Also, as with all advisory material, this policy statement identifies one means, but not the only means, of compliance.
