tMi Valve Division ATTft: f4r. U. A. Reis Director of Operations 16500 South flain Street flissouri City, Texas 77459 Gentlemen:

This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. Um. D. Kelley of this office on December 6 and 7,1973, of your facility at flissouri City, Texas, associated with the manufacture of ASME Section III "U" Class 1, 2, and 3 valves and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. E. J. Volmert and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

This inspection was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected, your QA Program is being effectively implemented.

The inspection effort is not designed to assure that unique quality requirements imposed by a customer are being implemented; nor to assure that a specific product, component or service provided by you to your customers, is of acceptable quality.

As you know, the ilRC requires each of its licensees to assume full responsibil-ity for the quality of specific products, components er services procured from others.

You should therefore not conclude that the flRC's inspection exempts you from inspections by an i'RC licensee or his agents nor from taking effective corrective action in response to their findings.

Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report.

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examina-tion of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Within the scope of this inspection, we found no instance where you failed to meet f1RC requirements.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the Commission's " Rules of Practice,"

Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter together with the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the Commission's Public Document Room.

If this report contains any information that you believe to be proprietary, it is necessary that you make a written application within thirty (30) days to this office to withhold such information from public dis-closure.

Any such application must include a full statement of th reasons on the basis of which it is claimed that the information is proprietary, and 79032103OU

ACF Industries, Inc. should be prepared so that proprietary information identified in the applica-tion is contained in a separate part of the document.

If we do not hear from you in this regard within the specified period, the report will be placed in the Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.

Sincerely, O

'N
