Dear Mr. Fiorelli:

In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.201 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice", Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc. (PSI) offers the following information in response to the item of noncompliance identified in Inspection Report 50-546/80-23; 50-547/80-23.

Item of no :ompliance (50-546/80-23-01; 50-547/80-23-01) 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V requires in part that activitics affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Instructions, procedures or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualititative criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

The Marble Hill PSAR, Section 17.1.5 states in part, that, " PSI requires each contracting organization to develop and implement written instructions, procedures, or drawings for performance of all quality-related activities, including quality assurance or quality control audits of internal and external functions."

Contrary to the above, the licensee failed to follow procedures in the implementation of Special Process Procedure - i (SPP-7), PROCEDURE FOR PHYSICAL INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION OF PREVIOUSLY ACCEPTED PURCHASED ITEMS, as described below:

a. Inspectors failed to obtain the proper test equipment prior to performing the inspection.
