My letter to you dated May 15, 1980 enclosed the " Graduated Rescission of Order dated August 15, 1979" and the guidelines (in the Appendix to the Graduated Rescission) for a controlled, stepwise resumption of activities at the Marble Hill site when certain prerequisites have been met.
I have received your letter dated November 7,1980 requesting further partial rescission of the Order dated August 15, 1979 in accordance with the guide-lines referenced above.
Specifically you stated that those activities of Public Service Company of Indiana, Inc. (PSI) and of two firms under contract (Cherne Contracting Corporation and Commonwealth-Lord J.V.) necessary to authorize resumption of receipt inspections by these firms had been completed.
You requested written permission as required by Section B.8 of the referenced guidelines to allow resumption of receipt inspections by these two contractors.
Pursuant to the NRC hold point in item B.7 of the Restart Program, NRC inspectors have inspected adjustments which satisfy items B.5 and B.6 of the Restart Program as they apply to receipt inspection activities by Cherne Contracting Corporation (CCC) and Commonwealth-Lord J.V. (C-LJV).
Based upon the inspection findings by Region III, which confirm the informa-tion reported in your November 7,1980 letter, I have concluded that the prerequisites necessary for resumption of receipt inspection by the 'two firms, CCC and C-LJV, have been completed satisfactorily.
Accordingly, PSI is authorized to allow these two firms to commence receipt inspections in the specific disciplines for which they are contracted.
This authoriza-tion is consistent with Paragraph B.8 of the Appendix to the Graduated Rescission of Order dated August 15, 1979.
Sincerely,
