-rt was indicated previously in revision three (3) that*
certificates of qualification for personnel performing inspection and test activities, were issued for the duration of the person's employment by PSE&G unless the persons status was changed.
This information has been deleted from the text in order to satisfy the requirements set forth in Regulatory Guide 1.58 (ANSI
- N45.2.6) which provides for a maximum of three (3) years duration on certificates of qualification.
This change more clearly defines the functions and organizations requiring certification in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.58 and is more consistent with PSE&G actual practices, which is and has been tri-annual recertification of personnel.

Page 17.2.11-section 17.2.2.-14 The rephrasing within this section is for clarification of present co~nitments and does not
~
constitute a reduction in current commitments.
The justification for this is thai the Standard Review Plan endorses a 2-hour fire rati0; specified in NFPA No. 232 and ANSI N45.2.9 (1979),
Jt no new revision of Regulatory Guide 1.88 (last r~ *ised 10/76) taking a regulatory position, has been fo~~hcoming.

Page 17.2.19-section 17.2.4 This section which addresses procurement document control has been revised to establish clarification of actual functional activities, which provides measures for NQA verification of reorders on Q-Listed material equipment or services, to assure that the originally reviewed and approved QA provisions have been maintained during the reorder cycle, as opposed to com~lete review and approval activities.
- Page 17.2.21-section 17.2.4 2nd paragraph The word "selective" has been added in the first sentence of the second paragraph.
This addition has been made to provide greater clarifications to existing commitments" in other sections of the UFSAR, specifically that (1) "operating procedures", as identified on page *17.2-22-section 11/2-6, are n6t reviewed by NQA and (2) tat only maintenance, modification, calibration procedures for Q-Listed.
