LIMITED DISTRIBUTION plan for Disposition of Concerns by Category Establish that the concern was specifically addressed in o

Category A NUREG-1306 or that the review done by the Safety Significance Assessment Team (SSAT)(encompasses the concern.i.e.,reports The appropriate reference asclosecut(NRR).

Review the SAFETEAM closcout of each item and, if the o

Category B staff agrees with the closeout, provide a brief surrary of the technical basis.

If the staff does not agree with the SAFETEAM conclusions, the item will be placed in Category D or E as appropriate (NRR).

Review the staff closeout of each item and provide a o

Category C brief sumary of the basis for the conclusions (Region IV).

Identify whether or not the concern dealt with safety.

o Category D If it does not, identify the basis for the decision.

If the concern deals with safety, review it and provide the basisforthedisposition(NRR).

Evaluate each item and report both conclusion and basis o

Category E (NRR).

We will sumarize the concerns that now comprise the combined Categories 0 and E and send them to the licensee to determine if they had been previously reviewed by SAFETEAM. Any items which were subject to SAFETCAM review will be treated the same at those in Category B.

Based on the present number of items in each category, it-appears that the evaluations can be completed and final draf t documentation prepared by the end of Jur.e 1990.
