1978. These updated in::ervice. inspection and testing. programs are required by 10 CFR 50.55a(g)..._.
Eased on our review of your January.24 letter, it appears that some.

Your January 24 comitment to. submit an~ updated pump and valve testing program during the first quarter.of 1978,.would. satisfy;.
this request. However, your request.to submit an updated. inservice p..._..

950.12. Since you have not requested, nor provided detailed justifi~
cation for such an exemption,.we cannot grant one at this time..
