seek greater clarity in regulatory communication to ensure NRC expectations continue to be met.
On February 25, 2005, the NRC issued the above referenced letter on "NRC Staff Guidance for Use in Achieving Satisfactory Compliance wxith February 25, 2002, Order Section B.5.b." On May 31, 2005, PEF and PEC respondedNwiththe other letters referenced above. The NRC subsequently developed a list of largely generiqcquestions which WVe~re informlly coinmunicated to
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission PE&RAS-05-091 Page 2 PEF and PEC. Some questions were designated as being intended to gather information to improve site inspections, while other questions were marked as being intended for use in the preparation of a safety evaluation.
On August 18, 2005, PEC and PEF responded to those questions by sending subject matter experts to the NRC's One White Flint headquarters to provide information about security, fire protection, emergency preparedness, operations, and licensing at each plant. At that time, the possible need to supplement information provided during that meeting with written responses was discussed. The NRC was asked to consider eliminating those questions from the list for which adequate information was provided during the meeting or would likely be provided during the site inspections. With the recent completion of such a site inspection, the NRC should be better able to consider the need for supplemental written responses.
If there remains some question or set of questions for which the NRC needs a written response, PEC and PEF asklthat the-NRC formally-ddocket-a-written-requtestfor addition information.:-PEC and PEF--
promote clarity in regulatory communication as an essential first step for achieving excellence in regulatory compliance.
