SUBJECT: NRC RESIDENT INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-528/99-16; 50-529/99-16;

Dear Mr. Overbeck:

This refers to the inspection conducted on July 25 through September 4, 1999, at the Palo

Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, facility. The enclosed report presents the

results of this inspection.

During the 6-week period covered by this inspection, your conduct of activities at the Palo

Verde facilitywas generally characterized by safety-conscious operations, sound engineering

and maintenance practices, and careful radiological controls.

Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a Severity Level IV

violation of NRC requirements occurred.

The violation is being treated as a noncited

violation (NCV), consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. The NCV is described

in the subject inspection report.

If you contest the violation or severity level of the NCV, you

should provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for

your denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk,

Washington, DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, U.S. Nuclear

Regulatory Commission, Region IV, 611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011;

the Director, Office of Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20555-0001; and the NRC Resident Inspector at the Palo Verde Nuclear

Generating Station, Units 1, 2, and 3, facility.

In accordance

with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its

enclosures,
