,Gentlemen:

8706250454 870h22 tj PDR ADOCK 05000528' PDRQ This letter responds to your October 21, 1986 petition concerning the results of certain polygraph tests of Arizona Public Service Company (APS) officials.

The tests were conducted during an investigation of whether an APS employee leaked Safeguards Information to local news media.

You allege that the results of these polygraph tests (I) demonstrate that documentation at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station was falsified and (2) raise serious questions about management competen'ce and integrity.

On the basis of these contentions, you ask the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to provide relief by (I) issuing an Order to Show Cause why the licenses and permits for all three Palo Verde units should not be suspended or revoked because of management character, incompetence, and lack of integrity; (2) initiating an investigation to determine the severity and extent of apparent

. document falsification by APS officials; (3) ordering a public hearing on the foregoing; and (4) imposing a civil penalty or such additional enforcement action as may be deemed necessary.

For the reasons stated in the enclosed "Director's Decision under 10 CFR 2.206," your request has been denied.

A copy of this decision will be filed with the Secretary of the Commission for the Commission's review in accordance with 10 CFR 2.206(c) of the Commission's regulations.

As provided by this regulation, the decision will constitute the final action of the Commission 25 days after the date of issuance of the decision unless the Commission, on its own motion, institutes a review of the decision within that time.
