VSP 2018 Operations Manual
To update these versions of the documents, VSP provided a change request form format and
instructions to industry partners March 2015 for revisions. VSP and stakeholders held 14 days of
in-person meetings and two web-based meetings between April 2015 and October 2016 to
review the change requests. During these meetings, submitters presented their changes and
discussed the reasons and evidence for requesting the changes. During group discussion, VSP
accepted change requests as submitted, accepted them as amended, or did not take action.
A total of 307 change requests were submitted during the review process for the VSP Operations
Manual and VSP Construction Guidelines. Of these, 112 were accepted as submitted or as
amended, and 34 were withdrawn.
After the revision meetings ended, VSP staff updated the documents, sent drafts to industry for a
45-day review period, and announced availability of the documents for review in the Federal
Register.
