agree  John Walsh: "previsto" can be translated in many ways depending on the context. "shall be" is the safest here.

è previsto
is expected/forseen


Explanation:
prevedere e' conoscere o annunciare qcs. prima che accada, so its equivalents in english are: to expect, to forsee, to look ahead, to foreknow.
but in this case, it's "is expected", but "l'utilizzo di ...." has to come before it so it would end up like: the implementing of .... is expected or forseen

calls for


Explanation:
To handle this you must re-arrange the sentence in such a way that subject and verb make sense and use expressions like "calls for", "scheduled", "is expected' and similar, depending on the context. If legal, for example, "prescribed" works.

"Forseen" is not English. "Foreseen" is English but doesn't really work in modern English in the contexts that "previsto" is used in Italian. Also "shall" is not used much anymore in modern English, except in legal language (even modern translations of the Bible do not use "shall" any more, thank God).

agree  esoft: yes in this case, "previsto" means "designed with this requirement" - also it will be preferable to "shall"

agree  Elitza: there is also uncertainty whether this "shall" be the case. maybe I can add to the above list of suggestions: is envisioned.
