SUBJECT:

QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAM DESCRIPTION FOR PALO VERDE 1/2/3 We have reviewed the proposed changes to Chapter 17 of the FSAR.

These changes would affect the currently approved Amendment 12 of Chapter 17.1 and Amendment 13 of Chapter 17.2.

As a result of our review, we have determined that additional information is needed addressing the following areas of your,FSAR:

Cha ter 17.1, Section 17.1A.1.2.5.2 PVNGS Construction A/

C The second sentence to this section requires the PVNGS Construction QA/QC Department to review site engineering and inspection documents to ensure that APS quality requirements are incorporated into Bechtel's Quality Program

'or construction activities.

Also, the QA/QC Department plans and conducts audits of Bechtel's construction activities.

Since the proposed changes would delete the Construction QA/QC Department please address what department has been assigned these responsibilities, and where these responsibilities are addressed in Chapter 17.1.

Cha ter 17.2, Section 17.2.1.2.1 ualit S stems and Pro rams Section The proposed change would delete the Quality Systems and Programs Section.

However, the responsibilities assigned to this section are still applicable to the QA Program and therefore needs to be addressed in Chapter 17.2.

Cha ter 17.2 Section 17.2.1.2.2 PVNGS Construction A/

C Section The department that has assumed this section's responsibilities for inspection, review, monitoring, verification, and audit of quality related construction activities during major modifications is not clear and needs to be addressed.

Cha ter 17.2 Section 17.2.1.2.3 PVNGS Start-U A/

C The reassignment of this section's responsibilities covering Phase I start-up activities is not clear and needs to be addressed.
