By letter ' dinted Decanber $7,-1976,'we sent you a docenent entitled *NRC

' Staff Guidance for Complying with Certain Provisions of 10 CFR 50.55a(g)..

Inservice Inspection Requirements".

In addition to clarifying the : proper -

methods for complying with the regulation, this guidance provided 'a e general outline of the type of information that the ERC-staff would

'need. to review inservice inspection and testing programs, and to evaluate reovests for relief from ASME Code requirements that are determined

' to'be impractical for a facility.

- After reviewing a: number of Submittals relating to s50.55a(g) requirements-

'x from various licensees, we have.concluced that additional guidance would.s be useful to.all-licensees to aid in the preparation of ttese submittals, and;te expedite-the NRC staff review and approval 'of the procosed programs and arty requests for relief from certain ASME Code. requirements. The need for this guidance zis. particularly evident for the puap and valve testing requirtinents.. A "

and when responding to additional information requests. from the staff.
