in that Operating Instruction 0-OI-31 did not adequately

address

operation of the control

priority select switch (0-XSW-31-7214).

The procedure

was not properly

revised

when the

CREV system

was modified in 1993.

This condition

existed from that time unti 1 December

This is

a Severity Level

reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice,

an order

or

a

Demand for Information may be issued

as to why the license should not be

modified, suspended,

or revoked,

or why such other action as

to extending the response

time.

copy of your

response

that identifies the information that should

redacted

copy of your

response that deletes

such information.

If you request

withholding of such material,

you must specifically identify the portions of

your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases

for your claim of withholding (e.g. explain why the disclosure of information

will create

an. unwarranted

invasion of personal

privacy or provide the

information required

by 10 -CFR 2.790(b) to support

a request for withholding

confidential

commercial or financial information). If safeguards

information

is necessary
