This refers to the inspection

on factors affecting operational

decisions.

With your response

to

the Notice of Violation, please

advise

us of your plans to make post-trip

review committees

more effective in the determination of causitive factors

pertaining to events.

with 10 CFR 2.790(a),

and

Room.
