NRC Information Notice 97-78, "Crediting of Operator Actions in Place of 
Automatic Actions and Modifications of Operator Actions, including       
Response Times," dated October 23, 1997.                                 
                                                                         
The NRC is issuing this information notice to alert addressees to a      
recent increase in the number of licensees that have implemented changes

operator actions in place of automated system or component actuations.
