ALLEGHENY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, INC.

DOCKET NOS. 50-387 AND 50-388

1. Based on a review of the attachments provided in PPLs submittal, the manufacturer states (and the European Certification Authority assumes) the V4 MTH2 suit is authorized for single-use only. Please confirm that the suit will be discarded after one use.

2. Verify that PPL will not use the V4 MTH2 suit in environments that are immediate deleterious to life and health.

3. Verify that PPL has committed to timely reporting of any defects experienced with these suits to the manufacturer and other U.S. users.

4. While PPL committed to develop implementing procedures (and training lesson plans) for using the suits, please identify any of the manufacturer's technical information (i.e.,

instructions for use) and directions provided, that will not be required by procedures. For each instruction identified, explain the rationale for not including it in the program's procedures/training (and for any other compensating actions).
