- 2) ne subnittal indicates that quality assurance infor: nation on angulatory j
Guide 1.54 (item I.G., page 5) and angulatory Guide 1.94 (itam I.K.,
l page 7) will be provioed after resolution of tne implementation of these guides in the " Miscellaneous" category. Implementation of these guides as described in your letters of February 3, 1976 (R.G. 1.54) and Fecruary 10, 1976 (R.G. 1.94) is technically acceptable to the staff, but we need the quality assurance information.

- 5) Item I.F. on page 4 of the subnittal lists Regulatory Guide 1.39 as endorsing ANSI N45.2 - 1973. mis appears to be a typographical error.
l If appropriate, please confirm that the endorsement is of NGI N45.2.3 -
l 1973.
i Implementation of Regulatory Guide 1.55, " Concrete Placement in Category I i
Structures" (June 1973) was described in your letter of December 1,1975.
}
In that letter, you indicated that the tiesign~ engineering office generates and transaits design drawings to the field engineering office. S e field
~~
engineering office sends the design drawin9s to the rebar fabricator for~
detailing and also. performs the checking of the detail drawings when re -
ceived from the~ fabricator. De field engineering office may also prepare
.. ~
t rebar shop drawings from the design drawings. In either instance, the detail ~ ;
drawings are checked by the field engineering office instead of the design i
l engineering office. Se oesign engineering office receives ccpies of recar shop drawings only for information and not ror review or concurrence. The i
exception taken for Midland is not in accordance with tne requirements of Section C.2.a of Regulatory Guide 1.55, wnich states in part tnat, " mat cesigner snould check tne design and shop drawings for practicality of:..."
Even thougn tne shop crawings may be prepared by the field engineering I
office, tnese drawings snould be subrnitted to the designer wno has the l
ultimate responsibility. and therefore,- the designer should review shop drawings for. adequacy. -It is the staff position that Midland must meet the. requirements of Section C.2.a of Regulatory Guide 1.55 or describe
.-. y tacceptable alternatives for the specific exceptions taken.
