Gentlemen:

Thank you for your letter dated July 16, 1981, informing us of the steps

you have taken to correct the four items of noncompliance which we brought

to your attention in Inspection Reports No. 50-329/81-11; 50-330/81-11

forwarded by our letter dated June 16, 1981.

With respect to Items 1 and 2, your actions will be reviewed during a

subsequent inspection.

With respect to Item 3, we reiterate our position that NCR M-01-4-9-048

did not specifically identify and control the numerous instances in which

required separation barriers were removed from raceway drawings. To the

extent that cable pulling activities continued unrestrained without this

identification and control, we view this as an itee of noncompliance.

However, we conclude that the measures delineated in your response will

be adequate in providing the necessary corrective action, thus no further

response to this item is required.

With respect to Item 4, we disagree with your position that the instru-

ment impulse lines are not required to be identified distinctively as

being in the protection system. This requirement, as stated in Appendix A

of the report, is delineated in IEEE 279-1971, Section 4.22.

It is our

position that the impulse lines constitute part of an instrument component

and thus shall be distinctively identified as indicated in the subject

standard.
