Dear Mr. Wellhouser:
md4
$$h Your letter of August 1,1980, has been reviewed in detail and I am M:
responding to it for the purpose of clarifying a few issues relative to the implementation of security programs to meet the. intent of the Upgrade Rule.
As we discussed in my office on July 15, 1980 and as later confirmed in my letter to you of July 17, 1980, the deferral of plan submittals does not in any way imply approval of a corresponding deferral in the implementation
_g of upgraded security measures.
4i e
Your most recent letter refers to possible delays that might be anticipated resulting from the need for new construction or structural modification'.
The new regulation anticipated that problems could arise in this connection and included allowances for such situations.
In this connection, please note that 73.20(c)(1) & (2) contain details relative to implementing new security programs.
In short, we will expect that GAC will have in place measures to meet the Upgrade Rule on March 20,1981 or 90 days after security SR;i:
plan approval, whichever is later.
If new construction or significant agj b u,:g modification is involved, however, then those portions of the plan depen-dent on those actions need not be implemented until September 15,1981 or 180 days after plan approval, whichever is later.
In the absence of any specific information that might impact on such a schedule, it would appear that the regulation provides a reasonable degree of flexibility for implementation of your upgraded security system. We fully recognize that unanticipated events such as major strikes and nonavailability of certain items of hardware might impact on the capability of a licensee to meet these target dates. Adjustments in the dates will be considered upon request on an individual basis.
}
Once again as we discussed in nly office in July, the application of measures to meet the intent of the Upgrade Rule must meet the level of protection;
@ipi-required by the Rule by the programed implementation date or dates.
