Dear Mr. Utley:

GENERIC LETTER 87-02 REPORTI NG REQUIREMENTS, H. B. ROBINSON STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT, UNIT NO. 2 Generic Letter 87-02, "Verification of Seismic Adequacy of Mechanical and Electrical Equipment in Operating Reactors, Unresolved Safety Issue (USI) A-46,"
was issued on February 19, 1987, to all licensees of operating reactors to which the requirements of USI A-46 applied.
By that letter, you were requested to provide a schedule for implementation of the seismic verification program at the Robinson facility within 60 days of receipt of that letter. Subsequently, the Seismic Qualification Utilities Group (SQUG), of which you are a member, formally requested an extension of the 60 day reporting requirements for licensees who are members of the SQUG. The extension was granted in the enclosed letter from Thomas E. Murley, Director, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, NRC, to Neil P. Smith, Chairman of the SQUG, dated April 28, 1987. In accordance with the provisions of that letter, you are hereby granted an extension until December 1, 1987, to provide the schedule for the Robinson seismic verification program.

Dear Mr. Smith:
I have received your letter dated April 10, 1987 requesting clarification of the 60-day reporting provisions of Generic Letter 87-02. In Generic Letter 87-02,'the staff requested that each licensee subject to the USc A-4b equipment seismic adequacy verification requirements provide a schedule for implementation of the seismic verification within 60 days of receipt of the Generic Letter.
In your letter you stated that licensees who belong to the Seismic Qualification Utility Group (SQUG) will be unable to provide a schedule for implementation at this time because the generic implementation procedures are still under development by the SQUG and will not be finalized until the completion of several trial plant reviews.
The staff has revewed your -request and concluded that it is appropriate to extend the 60-day reporting provisions ofrGeneric Letter 87-02 for SQUG licensees until the generic implementation procedures are better defined and the trial plant reviews are completed.
It is my understanding that the SQUG generic Implementation procedures should be essentially complete before October 1, 1987. By that date at least two trial plant reviews will have been completed and the generic implementation procedures sufficiently defined and reviewed by NRC staff sothat licensees can plan and schedule their plant specific reviews.
All licensees participating in the USI A-46 SQUG Implementation program should provide the schedule for plant specific implementation no later than December 1, 1987.
The NRC staff will review and evaluate the generic procedures by October 1, to allow each utility 60 days to prepare their replies to the generic letter.
Sincerely, Thomas E. Murley, Office. of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
