Fermi, no, in fact we go the other way by having a reduced admin time limit for the compensatory actions if monitor is out of service. As I understand the "grace" period, it isn't intended to be used that way for action items if daily-weekly-monthly- etc. surveillance are not completed for equipment to operable. ODCM is part of our TRM, same definition/practice is applied to both.
