de Planque SECY OCA OSP GPA This is to inform the Commission that a
Notice of Violation and Proposed Imposition of Civil Penalty in the amount of $ 100,000 will be issued on or about April 1, 1994 to Arizona Public Service Company.
This action is based on the licensee's failure to ensure that its contractor, BEW Nuclear Technology (BWNT),
conducted adequate background investigations before certifying certain individuals appropriate for unescorted access to Palo
- Verde, and failure to ensure that BWNT conducted required annual audits of private investigative agencies that assisted BWNT in conducting background investigations.
The failures resulted in at least three individuals being granted unescorted access who should not have been so autho'rized.
The staff determined that mitigation of the base amount of the civil penalty was warranted for licensee-identification and corrective action, but this was offset by escalation of the penalty for prior notice and for multiple occurrences.
