Operating Me=os l
The inspector through discussion with the licensee and by examination
,
i
. of pertinent records determined that significant effort has been put forth to phase out all safety related Operating Menos.
The licensee
prepared an Administrative Procedure AP-0021 to control the prepara-
,
tion, review, approval, issuance and revision of Operating Mecos. All
,'
safety related memos were separated, reviewed and approved by the plant staff in preparation for submittal to the Manager of Operations for his approval.
Subsequent to this action a management decision was made to eliminate the use of safety related memos for plant operation. This decision invalidated previous efforts and cancelled the current cc=-
pleted program. The licensee is presently revising facility proce-dures to incorporate the data from the operating memos.
The inspector stated he was concerned as to the timely completion of this current program, and that a request will be made for the licensee to respond in writing to provide a commitment date.

Procedural Coverage The inspector verified by review of procedure indexes that the licen.see's procedure system is broad enough in scope, with the ex-ception of the items listed below, to cover all activities listed in Regulatory Guide 1.33, Appendix A by written procedures.
