RESUBMISSION OF FOIA REQUEST (REFERENCE F01A # 89-448) %/g //-%7 1

Dear Ms. Robinson:

j Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 USC i 552) and to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) policies and regulations (10 CFR Part 9, Subpart A),

I request a copy of all NRC Staff and Commission policy and guidance documents related to procurement and commercial grade dedication in nuclear power plants.

)

In this regard, procurement should be defined to be consistent with, and as envisioned in, the following:

1. the Commission's description of the " procurement process" in its Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, " Acceptance of Products Purchased for Use in Nuclear Power Plant Structures, Systems and Components," 54 FRN 9229, March 6, 1989;
2. Regulatory) Guide 1.33, " Quality Assurance Program Requirements (Operation," and 10 CFR Part 21, as they apply to the activity associated with prooucing " procurement documents" for commercial grade items;
3. Generic Letter 89-02, " Actions to improve the Detection of Counterfeit and Fraudulently Marketed Products," which " conditionally" endorses EPRI NP-5652, " Guideline for the Utilization of Commercial Grade Items in Nuclear Safety-Related Applications (NClG-07)," as it applies to commercial grade items; procurement in this regard means the purchase of commercial grade items consistent with NClG-07;
4. NRC inspection procedures as documented in NRC-Inspection Manual Chapters 38701, 38702, and 38703; and
5. ANSI /ANS-3.2-1988, Section 5.2.13, " Procurement and Materials Control; " procurement in this regard means the activities associated with the purchase of commercially "off the shelf" items (i.e.,

commercial grade items).

i i

i 2-November 6,1989 nson ocuments in this context are intended to include such things as Commission papers, Temporary Instructions, draf t Regulatory Guides, Enforcement Guidance memoranda, internal Staff or Comission memoranda, inspection procedures and guidance, proposed rulemaking, and draf t or proposed generic comunications.
